How to add extra whitespace in PHP?

Question

I was wondering how can I add extra whitespace in php is it something like \\s please help thanks.

Is there a tutorial that list these kind of things th

Answer 1

To render more than one whitespace on most web browsers use   instead of normal white spaces.

echo "
Hello     punt"; // This will render as Hello   Punt (with 4 white spaces)
echo "
 Hello       punt"; // This will render as Hello punt (with one space)

For showing data in raw format (with exact number of spaces and "enters") use HTML

 tag.


echo "
Hello        punt
"; //Will render exactly as written here (8 white spaces)


Or you can use some CSS to style current block, not to break text or strip spaces (dunno bout this one)

Any way you do the output will be the same but the browser itself strips double white spaces and renders as one.
