For me the answer is “Building backend applications with it instead of CLI applications, like Lerdorf intended.”
But also
"\n"because it's easier andPHP_EOLis just an alias for"\n"; it's not even platform-dependent.PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it's
\r\non 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!
