The point of using the PHP_EOL constant is that your PHP installation will
choose for you which one is used.  When you copy your PHP code from Linux,
where it ran with PHP using "\n" for its value, over to Windows, the PHP
executable there will instead use "\r\n" when it reads PHP_EOL.  The whole
point of the PHP constant is so that you, in your PHP code, never have to
write either line ending nor worry about what OS the code will run on,
because PHP will use the correct line ending at runtime when it reads the
PHP_EOL constant in your code.
