Try passing the file through preg_replace. Replace all \n with \r\n.

> Dear All,
>
> Firstly, I am a newbie to php so please be gentle.
>
> I'm having problems with carriage returns placed in a file on a Linux based
> server. When this file is download to a WindowsXP machine the carriage
> returns are quite frankly useless. I just get "[]" (where "[]" represents
> an
> undisplayable character. No actual carriage returns or newlines!
>
> I generate the file using the following code (fragment only):
>
> while($row=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result))
> {
> $f_title=$row["title"];
> $f_first_name=$row["first_name"];
> $f_surname=$row["surname"];
> $f_email=$row["email"];
> fputs($file_op,"$f_title, $f_first_name, $f_surname, $f_email\n");
> }
>
> I then use the following link to a download_it.php script as described in
> Tansley as follows:
>
> $parameters="file_name=".urlencode($file_name)."&file_size=$file_size";
> echo "<A HREF=\"downloadit.php?$parameters\">download it</A>";
>
> The download_it.php file looks as follows:
> <?php
> #downloadit.php
> $file_name=urldecode($file_name);
> header("Content-type: Application/octet-stream");
> header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=download/download.txt");
> header("Content-Description: PHP Download");
> header("Content-Length: $file_size");
> readfile($file_name);
> ?>
>
> Appart from the fact that the Content-Disposition appears not to be working
> under IE6 since the file name is not correct.
>
> The downloaded file does not contain Windows type carriage returns of
> newlines! However it does contains the data thank goodness.
>
> What is the fix?
