add line break in mobile sms

Question

I am working with an API of a certain sms service and I just want to know how to add a line break from php code in a plain text format to mobile?

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

I know this is an old question but anyway it might help someone.

I tend to use PHP_EOL for this purposes (due to cross-platform compatibility).

echo "line 1".PHP_EOL."line 2".PHP_EOL;

If you're planning to show the result in a browser then you have to use "<br>".

Answer 2

$text = "This is line 1.\nThis is line 2.";

Be sure to use double quotes around the string, not single quotes.

If that's not working, you'll need to talk to the folks who made the API.
