snowman15 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am trying to log certain times in a txt file. heres my code: list($hour, $min, $sec) = explode(':', date('h:i:s')); $file = fopen("log.txt","a+"); $time= date("F j, Y, g:i a"); fwrite($file, $time); example of txt log after 3 entries: 12:3412:3512:36 (3 times all together.) what i want: 12:34 12:35 12:36 Everytime I go on the site, it logs my time but it logs it on the same line and i want a line break. How do i insert code at the end of the fwrite() to make a line break inside of the txt file? Thanks!

GingerRobot Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Try: <?php fwrite($file, $time."\n"); ?> GuiltyGear: <br /> is an HTML tag to create a new line on a webpage. It is differant from the newline character (\n) needed in this case.
