Writing new lines in .txt files?

[random1]

I have the following code:

 

$output = "test file\n output for \n\nnew lines";

 

                $outputfile = "tester.txt";

               

                // Write the file to the file system

try

{

$fh = fopen($outputfile, 'w') or die();

fwrite($fh, $output);

fclose($fh);

}

catch (Exception $ex)

{

return false;

}

// file created

return true;

 

This creates the file but with no new lines. This creates the file correctly (with new lines) when I change $outputfile to something like 'tester.htaccess'.

 

Any ideas for writing new lines '\n' to .txt text files?

[trq]

$fh = fopen($outputfile, 'a') or die(); // note the a switch

Found out that when running PHP on Windows and writing to a text file you need to do '\r\n' instead of '\n' for new lines.
