Newline problems

[stovellp]

I am trying to do a simple PHP script that just appends "Hello\n" to the end of a file. Unfortunately, when I go to read the file after, it says "hello" followed by a strange square rather than the newline.

The same thing is happening with \r and \t.

This is the script I am using:

$username = "hello\n";

$addhandle = fopen('memberlist.txt','a');
fwrite($addhandle, $username);
fclose($addhandle);

Am I missing something? Maybe the file isn't opening properly or something.

I am using Windows 2000 with PHP 4.3.1 for Win32.

I'm not sure about this, but I know that different operating systems require different commands for that.

For some OS, I know it's necessary to use \r\n. You might want to try that, in case I'm thinking of Windows.

Hope that helps!

you mean \r\n?

Yep, sorry about that.

I don't think Windows requires it, though, to be honest, but it's worth a shot.

Thankyou very much guys, \r\n worked perfectly.

I actually had to do the same thing in ASM with interupts, because \n went to the next line but not the start of it when printing to the screen, should have known to at least try it here. Thankyou very much! 😃
