inserting content on the top

[osusano]

hey i am inserting a content ont he top of my txt file

my current text file is like this

1. f sdjkhfkdjlshfdjkls
2. hjkfdhfklsdjh fklsdhklfsd
3. jkfhdkjlfh sdkfhdskl
4. jklhfdjlh dfskhfsdl

and i wanna insert somethign on the first like and it should output like this

0. jkfdh fklsdhlfksd
1. f sdjkhfkdjlshfdjkls
2. hjkfdhfklsdjh fklsdhklfsd
3. jkfhdkjlfh sdkfhdskl
4. jklhfdjlh dfskhfsdl

but i just use the process like this

$MESSAGE = '0. jkfdh fklsdhlfksd\n';
$lines = file( $PATH.$FILE );
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
	if($line_num < 14){
		$MESSAGE .= $line;
	}
}

$filetarget = fopen("$FULLFILE", "w+"); 
fputs($filetarget, $MESSAGE);
fclose($filetarget);

the \n is not working.. it should put the 1. on the bottom of the 0 right after putting the \n command. but it does not what dou think should be the problem here?

any 1 knows how to handle this kind of situation?

by the way i am currently using a winodws webserver as my testing server.. but i am going to upload this into a linux box after finishing everything.

thank you in advance.

You should use double quotes to delimit your string, not single quotes, if you want "\n" to be interpreted correctly.
