To PHP_EOL or not to PHP_EOL

Just wondering what the general thoughts are regarding the use of the built in PHP constant PHP_EOL (defined as '\n').

I think it is specific to PHP 5.x.x but I think it is a lot easier to use/work with when forcing line endings (for browser output) to make your code look nicely tabbed.

I noticed it in Content Plus and enjoyed it, much cleaner than the alternative. Smile

Code:

if(!defined('PHP_EOL')) define ('PHP_EOL', strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == 'WIN') ? "\r\n" : "\n");

Hey, figured with the nice FF extensions/add-ons, who needs nicely formatted X/HTML... such a pain to code. Laughing
