Trying to print the o/p on new line in PHP

Question

<?php

$author="Shweta";
print <<<END
this line 
is to test
END;

?>

Does anyone have an idea on why this does not work?

What does not work? It has a new line, but if you are looking in browser - it interprets the output as html code. Look into the source of the page - the new line is preserved. — Cheery, Nov 04 '14 at 01:17

Use this one:

<?php

$author="Shweta";
echo <<<EOT
this line 
is to test
EOT;

?>

My point is that the new line should be preserved. But its not... Its showing the entire line "this line is to test" on one single line – tjshah050291 Nov 04 '14 at 01:29
@tjshah050291 it is preserved, do you know the difference between the plain text (`\n` - new line) and html (`
` for a new line)? Read this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12410695/new-line-n-in-php-is-not-working – Cheery Nov 04 '14 at 01:30
