[Resolved] why \n does not work in this case

[Fking]

i'm using the following code to save a intranet address into .mls file
which is file in text format

$data1=addslashes($data['url']);
fwrite($fp,"\"");
fputs($fp, stripslashes($data1) );
fputs($fp, "\" \n"); 

if ($data['url2']) {
$data2=addslashes($data['url2']);
fwrite($fp,"\"");
fputs($fp, stripslashes($data2) );
fputs($fp, "\"\n");
}

but the problem is that there is no new line
and both records, $data1 and $data2 are on the same row

why \n does not work in this case

Firstly, I suggest that you use either fwrite() or fputs(), not both, since they pretty much are the same.

Concerning why "\n" doesnt work, I am not familiar with .mls files, but I do know that the newline sequence is implementation specific.
e.g. you may have to use "\r\n" (MS DOS/Windows) or "\r" (Mac) instead.

Alternatively, are you viewing the file in a text/hex editor instead of a web browser?

this with the \r\n made it work perfect
