How can one ensure that each output from a MySQL database in PHP is displayed on a new line in a PDF output?

To ensure that each output from a MySQL database in PHP is displayed on a new line in a PDF output, you can use the "\n" newline character when concatenating the output strings. This will create a line break in the PDF output for each row retrieved from the database. Additionally, you can use the PHP function "nl2br()" to convert newline characters to HTML line breaks for proper display in the PDF. 

// Connect to MySQL database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Fetch data from MySQL database
$result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM table_name");

// Output data to PDF with new line for each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    $output .= $row['column_name'] . "\n"; // Add newline character
}

// Convert newline characters to HTML line breaks for PDF display
$output = nl2br($output);

// Output PDF content
$pdf->Write(0, $output);
