download text file with \n

[juschillinnow]

I create a text file with:

$address .= $row['customerEmail']."\n";

and then I use php to download the file with:

<?
$file = "$file";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-type: application/text");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
readfile($file);
?>

It works fine except that when I open up the file, it has a block where the \n was. How do I get rid of that and just make it put the next word on the next line without the block?

Open it with something else than notepad. You'll see that it should open fine. Notepad expects a \r\n, instead of just \n. So try that, if you're concerned about the blocks...but it's not PHP's fault that you get blocks..
