How do I echo in PHP without carriage returns?

Question

Whenever I do an echo in PHP, I get two extra carriage returns. For example:

<?php
  echo 'abc';
?>

yields abc[cr][cr]. If I copy my script to a different server, I even get [cr]abc[cr][cr].

How do I force PHP to echo only my string 'abc' and not the carriage returns?

Answer 1

echo doesn't append a \n in PHP.

You may want to drop the closing ?> though, then you guarantee you won't have any trailing output.
