I am echoing back these 2 variables in to a table, but wanted to know how to add a line break between these 2?

echo $row ['username'] . $row ['date_time'];

if you're printing an HTML output to your browser:

 echo $row["username"]."<br />".$row["date_time"];

EDIT:

when printing to HTML - you better print the variables after passing them through htmlspecialchars function in order to avoid Cross-site-scripting (XSS), I'll do it this way:

 echo htmlspecialchars($row["username"],ENT_QUOTES)."<br />".htmlspecialchars($row["date_time"],ENT_QUOTES);

if you want to print it to a file or something similar:

 echo $row["username"]."\n".$row["date_time"];

you can always echo normal html from php.

echo "<div id=\"mydiv\"> Div content goes here </div>";

note the backslashes for double quotes wrapping mydiv to escape them. so you can add a
tag in between them to get a new line.

echo $row["username"] . "<br />" . $row["date_time"];
