Dropdown classic multiline option list from a PHP variable - how to add line breaks

Question

I am generating a dropdown options list from a PHP variable. Adding "
" to end of each line in the variable data does not make new lines, when the dropdown is rendered in the form. I only get one long string as a selection option, instead of a list of multiple selection options.How can I get the new lines show in the selection list?I have Linux and Firefox browser.

SOLVED: the drop select options show correctly, when the PHP variable is returned as an array. You do not need to explode the array into a string at all, thus avoiding the new line character issue.
