RE: PHP Multiline Strings - Spl3en - 11-18-2009
@FarOut :
You're entirely right. "proper" wasn't the right word, i would mean.. mh.. well, i don't have enought word to explain my opinion.
Write a variable on several lines, it confused me, i prefer write it only in one line, even if it's not really eye-friendly. But i guess that's not the same thing for everyone
.But you're right about \n, which does exactly the same job as chr(10).
PHP Code:
<?php
//Output 10
echo ord("\n");
?>Quote:Sorry, I kinda rambled there. In short, chr() should definitely not be used for implementing newlines within a string ;).Well, in general it's true. "\n" is sometimes considerate as a string, and not a newline.
PHP Code:
<?php
// Output 10
echo ord("\n");
// Output 92
echo ord('\n');
?>Note that \n is more optimized than heredoc, for the time execution.
Well, it's always interesting to see different manners to do the same thing
