How to write a TXT file like that???

[Anon]

I want to write a file named file.txt with some strings for example
$string1=one
$string2=two

but when I do it like this:

<?
$file=fopen("file.fux", "w");
fwrite($file, $string1);
fwrite($file, $string2);
fclose($file);
?>

it writes it in one line
onetwo

how to write it like this:

one
two

Make your code easier to read and use error_log.

error_log($string1, 3, 'file.fux');
error_log($string2, 3, 'file.fux');

Will do what you want.

Add a newline character to what you are putting into the file.

fwrite($file, "$string1 \n");

Be careful with spaces...
fwrite($file, "$string1\n");

actually, while were at it:
fwrite($file, "$string1\n");

is much better written as
fwrite($file, $string1 . "\n");

May I politely disagree? Using error_log() when the resulting file is not meant as a log of some kind is a bad idea--rather than being "easier to read", it actually obscures your intent. In addition, if there are lots of strings to append, it's a performance hit, too.

I'd rather not get into this discussion because it is a matter of style, not correctness. Both my suggestion and Dave's suggestion will work.

I would, however, pick a style that you like and stick with it throughout your programs.

THis is immaterial, but I would also vouch for:
fwrite($file, "$string1 \n");
