hello. im new to php so bear with. i've created a simple hit counter for my personal website that opens a file log.txt and appends a line for each new hit on my opening page. but the newline isn't registering. it's all on one line. there are thousands of people who have had this problem previously, and they all solved it by using html breaks. that won't work for me because i want to use a text file. so does anyone know the reason this doesn't work? [code]fwrite($fh, "hit: ".$ip." ".$time_date."\n");[/code] ps. ive tried "\r" as well using php 5.0.4
