Hello Stuart,
After some closer look at the RFC Compliant manuals you suggested,
I have determined that the creator of that code was in fact RFC821
Compliant.
Being that this was a code I found several years ago, RFC822 may not
have been in effect.
This being the reason (I believe) that the creator went with a check
for System OS when determining the end of line characters to use.
Not substantiated in any way, but that is what it looks like to me. I
could stand corrected.
Best,
Karl

I see. Yes, I was referring to the PHP manual.
I will investigate the RFC manuals as well like you had noted.
No offense taken. Thank you for the clarification.
Best,
Karl

@Stuart,
Actually that is what made me look into the PHP_EOL Stuart.
Wanting to do things right.
Did you not read my initial email? I am not suggesting anyone
adopt my code.
The question was directed to what the differences are so I COULD
learn the right way.
Being that this was something I got off a tutorial from an
accredited website, your saying that to the wrong person.
I went and read the manuals and am here now posting the question
so as to get the right direction.
I have heard the argument and actually agreed. It would be better
to use the PHP_EOL instead.
I have been directed in the right direction. So I will be changing
my code to reflect.
I meant no offence, I was simply responding to your comment:
"Also, It has worked for years with no problem and I would still
use it" ...and took it to mean you would have no issue with using
that code, so I thought it worth pointing out that the standards
exist for a reason.
In the name of clarification, the "manual" I was referring to is
the sum total of the RFCs that define the various protocols used
on the internet, not the PHP manual which I believe you think I
meant.
