Writing to file question

[edwardp]

I am using th e following snippet to write data to a file:

$filename = $_SESSION['usrdir'].$_SESSION['claimantusername'].".clmfl";
if(is_writable($filename)){

if(!$fileHandle = fopen($filename, 'a')){
	echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Cannot open file ($filename)')</script>";
	exit;
}

if(fwrite($fileHandle, $dataToWrite) === FALSE){
	echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Cannot write to file ($filename)')</script>";
	exit;
}
echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Claim written to file successfully')</script>";
fclose($fileHandle);
}else{
	echo "<script language=javascript>alert('The file ($filename) is not writable')</script>";
}

i have tested it but i cannot seem to write to a new line each time.

I want a single entry of data on a separate line

How can i make sure that $dataToWrite is on a new in the file every time??

thanx in advance

This might work... try adding a new line character in front of the data before appending it to the file.

<?php
// use \n to start a new line
$dataToWrite = "\n" . $dataToWrite;
?>
