New Line helps the page to look better and presentable. We will learn to insert a new line in PHP using 2 ways.

Using Line Breaks as in HTML: The <br> tag in HTML is used to give the single line break. It is an empty tag, so it does not contain an end tag.

Syntax:

</br>

Example:

PHP

<?php
echo "Akshit ". "<br>". "Loves GeeksForGeeks";
?>

Output

Akshit 
Loves GeeksForGeeks

Using new line tags: Newline characters \n or \r\n can be used to create a new line inside the source code.

Syntax:

 "\n"

Example 1:

<?php
echo "Akshit " ."\n"."Loves GeeksForGeeks";
?>

Output

Akshit 
Loves GeeksForGeeks

Syntax:

"\r\n"

Example 2:

<?php
echo "Akshit " ."\r\n"."Loves GeeksForGeeks";
?>

Output

Akshit 
Loves GeeksForGeeks
