Lets look at the easy part first--Naming a text file is simple--when you do your fopen($filename,"w"), you can call $filename anything--If it is something where the will be lots of similar files, I usually call them something like appfile.datestamp.txt--

Now the other stuff is a little more complex-And I am not sure what you are trying to do. Are you having the user input an email, and you wish to verify that it is not a dupe email?...or does the file have a list of emails that you wish to remove dupes?

i have a file that have a list of emails and i wish to remove the duplicated one and save the result on anther file,

the problem is that it remove the duplicated emails correctly but save all the emails in one line

so append \n to the end of your fwrite data....

as was mentioned

www.php.net/fwrite HAS tons of examples that WILL help you if you only READ THEM

<?php
$filename = 'test.txt';
$somecontent = "Add this to the file\n";

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence 
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
     print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
     exit;
}

// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (!fwrite($handle, $somecontent)) {
    print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
    exit;
}

print "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

fclose($handle);

} else {
    print "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

looky there... the FIRST example demonstrates that fwrite doesnt auto append \n on its own... and that it must be inserted at the time of coding....
