php how to add new line to string

Question

I want to add new line to an existing string I tried this way

$filename = 'popups-'.$jsonData['name'].'.js';
$text = $jsonData['text'].'\n';

However I get \n directly append in the string instead of a new line What am I doing wrong here??

Answer 1

you should use double quotes for this

$filename = 'popups-'.$jsonData['name'].'.js';
$text = $jsonData['text']."\n";
