help in breaking lines in text file

Anon

hi,
the code below allows me to write to txt file but all data are next to each other
this way:
details1|test.htmldetails2|test.html

how can make it write to txt file like this:
details1|test.html
details2|test.html

<?
$fp = fopen("c:\dir\test.txt", "wb");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($rs)) {

$writefile = fputs($fp, $row["details"]."\n"."|".$row["link"]."\n");

}
mysql_free_result ($rs);
?>

This problem has to do with the non-standarization of line breaks amongst unix, mac, and pc platforms. Usually \n will work, but to be absolutely positive, you can use \n\r.

How are you viewing your files?????
Line break interpretation is totally dependant on what your using to view your files. If your using your browser (which it sounds like since you mention <br> works), then the browser will interpret it as html and ignore CR's and LF's.
