Newline in php not working

Question

In my code I have several sentences in one paragraph as I would like to not get spacing between them. However I can't seem to get them each to begin on a newline.

  <p class ="BasicP"> Datum: <?php echo $Datum;"\r\n"?>
    Betreft: <?php echo $Betreft;"<br>"?>
    Offertenr: <?php echo $Offertenr;"\n"?>
    <p>

And this outputs: Datum: Betreft: Offertenr:

I would like it to output:

Datum:

Betreft:

Offertenr:

Each of them starting on a new line.

I've tried <br>, PHP_EOL and newline.

If anyone could tell me what exactly is wrong and how to do it, that would be appreciated.

I added what I tried to the code, none of the tree get me a new line for some reason..

edit your question to hold the exact code that you tried those with — Funk Forty Niner, May 02 '17 at 14:56
@PavelPájaHalbich OP states: *"I've tried `
`"* - Edit: OP has parse errors, that's why. — Funk Forty Niner, May 02 '17 at 14:58
You really need to show how u use the line breaks as u have stated — Masivuye Cokile, May 02 '17 at 14:59
`"?>` is a syntax parse/error. That's why it's not working. Same thing goes for all your other ones. — Funk Forty Niner, May 02 '17 at 14:59
I don't understand. You said you're using a single `
` to avoid spacing, yet what you want seems to be spacing. Use several `
` then, or add `
`. What do you mean `
` doesn't work? — domsson, May 02 '17 at 14:59
@domdom Basically by using seperate
tags it gives me blank space between each line and I try avoiding that by putting it all in one. — Kevin Bosman, May 02 '17 at 15:03

There are multiple options:

Sepperate paragraphs:

<p class ="BasicP">Datum: <?php echo $Datum;?></p>
<p class ="BasicP">Betreft: <?php echo $Betreft;?></p>
<p class ="BasicP">Offertenr: <?php echo $Offertenr;?></p>

Line break:

<p class ="BasicP">
    Datum: <?php echo $Datum;?><br/>
    Betreft: <?php echo $Betreft;?><br/>
    Offertenr: <?php echo $Offertenr;?>
<p>

Or print it as code:

<pre>
    Datum: <?php echo $Datum;?>
    Betreft: <?php echo $Betreft;?>
    Offertenr: <?php echo $Offertenr;?>
</pre>

This has noting to do with PHP. A simple HTML question.

Sure, but the question is off-topic; it's a parse error. – Funk Forty Niner May 02 '17 at 15:00
The Line break solution did the trick, thank you. I must've done something a tiny bit wrong. – Kevin Bosman May 02 '17 at 15:02
,,, or set `whitespace: pre;` in the `BasicP` class in the stylesheet. – CD001 May 02 '17 at 15:02
