How do I insert a formatted javascript to have newline in php?
I want my script to display this way but I can't seem to echo newlines.
The script is inserted into the html in one line.
<script>
var a;
var b;
</script>
It comes out this way:
<script> var a; var b; </script>
How can i do this ?
If you want indention in html source you can use \n. For example-
echo "\n<script> \n\tvar a;\n\tvar b; \n</script>";
Or you can use, as already posted by Laukik
<?php
echo <<<HTML_ENTITIES
<script>
var a;
var b;
</script>
HTML_ENTITIES;
?>
Which will produce the source like-
<script>
var a;
var b;
</script>
Or if you want this in design than use <pre></pre> tag at start of your javascript code on the page where you want to show your code, than you will get same indention of html for particular script section.
Try with
<?php
echo <<<HTML_ENTITIES
<script>
var a;
var b;
</script>
HTML_ENTITIES;
?>
if you are printing from your script tag from php use echo \n var a; \n var b; \n ;
You could jump in and out of php like this:
?>
<script>
var <?php echo "a"; ?>;
var <?php echo "b"; ?>;
</script>
<?php
Just substitute the "a" and "b" strings with the actual variables you want to output.
Use pre tag at start of your php page than you will get same indention of html for whole document including Script tag.
