Having a problem with \r\n

PHP_apprentice

I am creating a reply file for one of my clients with \r\n at the end of each line. The problem is when the client gets the file on his side which is a windows environment the \r is dropped.

Any advice would be helpful.

Local environment is mysql -> php -> linux

remote environment is windows -> mssql

Below is the fwrite code that I am output to the file. If I view the file from my server everything is fine. The problem occurs at the client end.

$fp = fopen($file, 'a');

fwrite( $fp, $content."\r\n");

which PHP version do you use ?

Try

$fp = fopen($file, 'ab'); 
fwrite( $fp, $content."\r\n");

What does "get" mean ... FTP transfer or something else ?

Excellent question! "Get" in this case means to FTP tranfer the file from my server ot there local environment

Version -> 4.3.2

Ok,

besides using ab instead of a in fopen, did they already try to transfer the files in binary FTP mode instead of text mode ?

I will try and change the

fopen

to 'ab'. The client did say that when they transferred binary all things displayed correctly.

Thanks

The code you posted appends \r\n to the end of the content, not to the end of every line that might be embedded in the content.
