Yes, I have, but it doesn't work. Like this getarea("$rows['province'].'|'.$rows['city'].'|'."\n"$rows['area'],' '")); ?> or getarea("$rows['province'].'|'.$rows['city'].'|'.\n$rows['area'],' '")); ?> – user3691314 Jun 27 '14 at 17:55

The second \n is without the "" – user3691314 Jun 27 '14 at 17:59

I might add that getarea is a function where it retrieves the name of the respective fields, if it matters. – user3691314 Jun 27 '14 at 18:15

So you've tried both of the samples? Like `\n` and `"\n"`? – Idris Jun 27 '14 at 18:26

Use \n. Just add it with the sting like this I."\n" like pie.
You can also use nl2br like this echo nl2br("One line.\nAnother line.");

Try double quote "\n".
If you use single quote '\n', PHP will just interpret as a literal \n, but within double quote, it will parse it as an escape sequence (newline character) and echo it. More about strings here.
echo nl2br('Hello \n world');
// -> Hello \n world
echo nl2br("Hello \n world");
// -> Hello <br /> world

In a browser, you may need to use "<br/>" instead of a newline "\n".
echo($valueu->getarea($rows['province'].'|'.$rows['city'].'<br />'.$rows['area'],' '));
Something like that?

I didn't read closely enough - all I "read" was "line break" and "browser". Thanks for setting me straight. – jsickles Jun 27 '14 at 17:39

1You're welcome. However, your answer would also work, if the OP wasn't using that function. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 27 '14 at 17:40
