creating a line break when saving a file

I wonder how I can make a line break when saving a file. for example:

$firstLine = "this is a one line text";

$secondLine = "this line has a line break
";

PHP:

The second line will be save with a line break. I tried to create the same effect using \n but it didn't work.

 

Do you mean a line break when you print/echo to html? If so, <br> is what you'll wanna try.

 

Or if you want a break in the code then it is \n" at the end and ." at the beginning, this is good for forms

echo "this is text\n"
."this text appears next to the other line, but in the code, on a new line."

 

Thanks for reply

I meant a line break when saving a text file.

.

 

\r\n may solve the issue.

 

Try this -> chr(13).chr(10) <- and see if it works.

ascii for line break and line feed.
