What is the benefit of \n and PHP_EOL in PHP?

Viewed 12987

I'm trying to output a newline character in PHP that gets viewed in a web browser. I can only manage it by using the <br /> tag.

When I use \n, nothing occurs, so what is the benefit of using \n? Also what is the benefit of PHP_EOL? When I concatenate it to a string, just a space is printed not a newline.
