[SOLVED] carriage return

[jeff5656]

I have a log file to log ip addresses but how do I add a carriage return so every log entry is put on a new line?

$logged_string = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "|" . date("j M Y g:i a");
$file = fopen("userIP.log", "a");
fputs($file, $logged_string, strlen($logged_string));
fclose($file);

[Maq]

Add a newline \n

 

$logged_string = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "|" . date("j M Y g:i a") . "\n";

Hi,

That works but interestingly it doesn't work in notepad, only if you read the log file in wordpad.  I guess notepad can't read the line break character.

nah. winderz is a different beast. new lines are a combination of carriage return and newline whereas unix-based systems are typically newline only. there's probably a php function for this, but i'm a php noob and don't know. change "\n" to "\r\n" to the code and see what happens.
