How do I press enter?

Anon

Hello, my problem is, that I want to make a file to htaccess like this:

user1:jqwhkqjhjka
user2:jkhkjsdhejw
user3:hqjwhkhsudu

I take the data from a database and put down to the file, as you can see, is every users on a new linie, HOW DO I MAKE IT???

I have tryed: <br> \n and chr(13), but it only wrote in the file, it will not become a new linie break.....

my file is like here:

$resultat = mysql_query("select * from mysql where id > 0");
$antal = (mysql_num_rows($resultat));
if ($antal > 0) {
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($resultat)) {
$fp = fopen ("passwords", "a");
$cryptcode = crypt($data

,base64_encode($data[code]));
fwrite ($fp, $data[name].':'.$cryptcode.chr(13)); 
fclose ($fp); 
}}

It depends on what OS you are using as your server, I think Windows NT\2000 id a "\n\r" and unix is just "\n". hope this helps.

I prefer to use the error_log function and not worry about the OS.

Check it out

\n will place a newline character in your password file.

If you open that password file with a text editor, eg. notepad, you will see everything on a single line.

However, if you open the same password file with say Ms Word, each record will be on a new line.

I use win98 on my onw server, but my server in USA, I don't know that is using.

what is the error_log ? not the file, whice is logging error from apache, because there are no errors in the script...

but I'm open it in notepad, and it is here it has to be just one user on every linie.

Understand, people how use htaccess understand the password file I think.

There is a difference between "\n" and '\n'. You want to use "\n", the difference lies in the quotation marks used.

Also, as somebody mentioned, "\n" is the unix standard for linebreaks, so notepad won't handle it, textpad, ultraedit, or other similiar text editors will handle it, and opening the file on unix using less/more/pico/whatever should give you the linebreaks.

If you don\'t know what a function is, then RTFM! Don\'t post back here saying what is it when it\'s right there in TFM.

A different Perspective:

fputs($file, \"user1:jqwhkqjhjka
\");
fputs($file, \"user2:jkhkjsdhejw
\");
fputs($file, \"user3:hqjwhkhsudu
\");

the --> \"); part on the next line of the code is on purpose. it has to be at the far left of the script. ignore the "\" slashes this script puts in the posting.

would create the following in your file
user1:jqwhkqjhjka
user2:jkhkjsdhejw
user3:hqjwhkhsudu

this is how we have done it. it creates the new line break you are looking for. we have used it in htaccess and user access files

hello pcordero,

it sounds cool, but I cannot fix it I think, explorer is writing:

WARNING: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1..........

But I can see, that if I trying it in others ways, it sometimes wrote, that the error was i linie 4, and it was in linie 3, so the linie break has PHP understand 🙂

But I cannot find out of it. The \ before is UNEXPECTED and the \ after is a PARSE ERROR.

Please help me again. My script is:

$file = fopen("messages.txt","a");
fputs($file, \"user:code \");
fclose($file);

is that wrong?

Thanks from Ulrik Q K
