Hi, I am trying to learn php and have been making some pretty good progress. I've just run into a wall though and would REALLY appreciate it if someone could let me know what I am doing wrong. I have this fictitious order form that when filled out a new web page is displayed with the info. and the text is written in tab delimited style to a text file. I'd like to have it so each entry receives its own line. I have utilized \n to no avail, and have tried using <br /> and <p>, none of them give me a new line each time the form is submitted.

 

Thank you in advance! Here is my code.

 

<?php

include ('error.php');

$modem = $_POST['modem'];
$enet =$_POST['enet'];
$sound =$_POST['sound'];

$DOCUMENT_ROOT= $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$address2 = $_POST['address2'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];



?>
<br><br>

$date = date('H:i, F jS');
$find = $_POST['find'];


echo "You stated you were referred to us via <b><i> $find</b></i>";

echo "Your order is as follows:<br>";
echo $modem . 'Modem(s)<br>';
echo $enet .'Ethernet Card(s)<br>';
echo $sound .'Sound card(s)<br>';

echo "The subtotal of your order is $tamount";?>
<br><?
echo "The tax on this order will be $tax";?>
<br><?
echo "Bringing the total for your order to $grandt";?>
<?php

$total = 0;
$total = $modem +$enet +$sound;
if ($total == 0)

{
echo "You didn't order anyting";
}
else
{
if($modem >0)
echo $modem. 'Modem(s)';
if($enet >0)
echo $enet. 'Ethernet card(s)';
if ($sound >0)
echo $sound. 'Sound card(s)';
}



$tamount = 0.00;
define('modemp', 19.95);
define ('enetp', 19.95);
define('soundp', 24.95);


$tamount = $modem * modemp + $enet * enetp + $sound * soundp;

$tax = $tamount * .08;

$grandt = $tamount + $tax;

echo 'Items ordered: '.$total.'<br>';
echo 'Your sub total for this order is <font color="blue"><b><i>$'.number_format($tamount,2).'</font></b></i><br>';
echo 'The sales tax will be<b><i><font color="blue">$'.number_format($tax,2).'</font></b></i><br>';

//append file
  
$fp = fopen("DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt", 'ab');
if (!$fp)
{
echo 'Your order could not be processed at this time, please try again later.';
exit;
}

fwrite($fp, $output, strlen($output));
if($fp)
{
echo 'DONE!!';
}
fclose($fp);

echo 'Order written to file';
?>
