True. But in my case these files that are being created aren't being made for humans to open up and read. Instead, another program which I use to create barode labels reads in the text file. This other program didn't know how to handle the special character that was being created in my file and would error off. Now with the file formatted correctly I'm now printing labels successfully.

Alright, I figured it out and found the solution. Here's my updated code for those who are curious: $fh = fopen($myFile, 'wb') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = "%BTW% /AF=c:\labels\lp_4x2_bin_id.btw /D=<Trigger File Name> /PRN=\"\\\dclaptop\Zebra S4M (203 dpi) - ZPL\" /R=3 /P /DD \r\n%END%\r\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); According the the PHP.net "Windows based systems use \r\n as the line ending characters "

It's not exactly a "[]" but just a small closed little box where I've inserted a \n. But here is the code: $stringData = "%BTW% /AF=c:\labels\lp_4x2_bin_id.btw /D=<Trigger File Name> /PRN=\"\\\dclaptop\Zebra S4M (203 dpi) - ZPL\" /R=3 /P /DD \n%END%\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData);

I've got an issue that I believe has something to do with the encoding of my text file. But I'm not sure how I go about changing that. In short, what I'm really trying to accomplish is that when the file I've just created with PHP is opened in Notepad that it is formated exactly the way I intended it to. Particulary how the file handles carriage returns. So when I send a carriage return to the file I want to see a new line and not as a symbol "[]".

I'm the administrator so by all means access shouldn't be a problem. I'll look into these options you mentioned and see what I can work out. Thanks,

I want to be able to list the contents of a folder that resides on a different server other than on my web server. Is there a way to accomplish this? I played around with opendir() but could only list contents that actually resided on the web server itself.
