I come from a scripting background so am not unfamiliar
with the concept of CR/LF characters. I am in the process
of learning PHP via the following tutorial

http://mobilitystudies.com/mob/images/stories/PHP_Tutorial_From_beginner_to _master.pdf

Currently I have "hello.php" with the following lines of code

-------------------------
<html>
<body>
<?php
$d=date("D");
if ($d=="Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
elseif ($d=="Sun")
echo "Have a nice Sunday!";
else echo "Have a nice day!";
echo "\nhello boss"."\t"."does this work".PHP_EOL;
echo "again";
?>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------
When I load this in my browser I see the following
------------------------
Have a nice Sunday! hello boss does this work again
-------------------------
And if I look at the page source (using Firefox)
--------------------------
<html>
<body>
Have a nice Sunday!
hello boss does this work
again</body>
</html>
------------------------
Should the "\n" not push a NewLine out to the output?
I did some research and found that the PHP_EOL seems to be what is
recommended since it is platform independant. But it doesn't work
either.

Can anyone suggest or point out what I am doing wrong, or is this a flaw
in php?

Thanks
