fwrite question

[fnbcprog]

how do you tell the file pointer to move to the next line (i.e. "\n") when writing to a file.

Thanks

hehe if the file contents is on a line seperately such as:

lets say this is the file below:

This is one line
This is the second line
This is the last line of the file

Now lets say you want to grab each bit of it from the file... You use the file() function, reads the contents of a file into an array..

$fileContents = file("thisismyfile.txt");

echo $fileContents[0];

You mean to the end? If you have the following file

hello
line2
line3

and want to add onto it, you'd set the string mode to 'a' (end of file) so you could add a line in after line 3. If you're trying to replace somewhere in the middle of the file, then you'd need to replace the whole thing and use 'r+' (you'd need to read it into a text area, make the changes, then submit)

I am writing to a file. I have the information in an array, but when I hit the last element of the array I want to insert a \n so that when I open the text file for reading it is no hard to read.

Just add a "\n" at the end, e.g.

fwrite($array[$i] . "\n");
