[Resolved] writing to a file

[murali]

Hi,
I am trying to create a php file dynamically..
here's my code

    $textcontent='<?php'.'\r\n';
    $textcontent.='include("../folder1/file.php");'.'\r\n';
    $textcontent.='header("Location:'.$targetpage.'")'.'\r\n';
    $textcontent.='?>';

when I tried with fwrite($fh,$textcontent) I am able to write the file but instead of four lines I get a single line with \r\n.

I want the output to be
<?php
include("../folder1/file.php");
header("Location:filename");
?>

any suggestions???? I believe I am missing something ....😕

You probably need to [man]stripslashes/man them. Also, you might want to fix your [man]header/man--you need to specify a full URI, not just filename.

Try enclosing \r\n in double quotes ("\r\n") instead of single quotes ('\r\n')...

oops.... matter of quotes.. replaced single quotes with double quotes. and it works..............
and for the filename in the header, it was a typo. should have been $filename.
thanks guys
