Line break using fwrite

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

how do i do a line break when writing to a text file? i tried:

 

  ## referer
  $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
  $file = "referrer.txt";
  $fh = fopen($file, 'w');
  $stringtowrite = $ref;
  fwrite($fh, $stringtowrite);
  $linebreak = ("<br />----------------------------------------<br />");
  fwrite($fh, $linebreak);

 

but this actually prints the br tage.

 

thanks for any help

ah thanks guys so would this be ok:

 

<?php
  $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
  $file = "sitestats.txt";
  $fh = fopen($file, 'w');
  $stringtowrite = $ref;
  fwrite($fh, $stringtowrite);
  $linebreak = ("\n");
  fwrite($fh, $linebreak);
?>

You can just concatenate the newline character to string you're writing when you write it:

<?php
<?php
  $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
  $file = "sitestats.txt";
  $fh = fopen($file, 'w');
  fwrite($fh,$ref . "\n");
?>

Well if $ref is a whole lot of lines, that won't do much good. You will get everything on one line then a line break at the end.
