There are two way the most popular is to use \n at the end of your echo to break line. Or you could use
tag which is less efficient as it will add markup to you page.

An example would be

echo("im line one \n im line two\n im line three");

this will out put

im line one
im line two
im line three

             $startdate (Mon) ~ $enddate (Sun) of $pcode\n
             has been successfully Updated....!')";

And here is the fiddle
