New line not recognized by Twilio in PHP

Question

Using PHP/Laravel.
And the latest Twilio library 5.16.2

And none of these work, they are sent as it is:

$textMessageToSend = $textMessageToSend . ' %0a ' . $emailLinkOfContent;

What am I missing ?

`\n` is taken literally if expressed in single quotes, make sure you use `"\n"` — Devon Bessemer, Dec 19 '17 at 15:15

The problem is with the single quoted string use Double quotes to solve the issue,

$textMessageToSend = $textMessageToSend . "%0a" . $emailLinkOfContent;

make sure $textMessageToSend and $emailLinkOfContent are both strings assigned with double quotes if initialisation is hard-coded.

I was using Twilio in Laravel about 2 months ago and I had no problem with sending SMS with content like this:

'Test'. "\n" .'new line'

it went to new line where it should but as you see in PHP you should use double quotes for new line to make it work.
