    PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it’s \r\n on Windows.

    I don’t really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible, 5.x was mainly getting slowly rid of nonsense and with 7.x PHP started its slow path of redemption and entered its modern era.

    While Lerdorf’s vision was great at that time for its intended use case, I wouldn’t want to build anything serious in it.

      It actually outputs "\n" on a Windows system, but modern Windows to recognise that as enough of a newline, nowadays.

      Actually a great point!
