Re: [PHP] Writing text files in Windows 2k
I need to write some data to a text file but when I use $this-ao_file_handle = fopen($this-ao_file_name,ab); $str_txt.= \n; fwrite($this-ao_file_handle,$str_txt); It does not display the new line. I saw somwhere that for DOS files you need to use ASCII LF and CR. Which I did. It still does not display the new line. LF CR = \r\n What did you view the file with? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Writing text files in Windows 2k
Precisely where did you get the b in your second parameter to fopen? I didn't see it on the fopen manual page at: http://www.php.net/fopen If you just want to write to the file and not read it, try changing the second parameter to just w.

Doh, doh, doh! Just saw b was allowed for binary on the fopen page. Never mind. On Mon, 2003-02-10 at 09:13, Adam Voigt wrote: Precisely where did you get the b in your second parameter to fopen?

Do you have any suggestions. It does for me in Excle 97 SP2, but I suspect there should be more lines than there are (I get 13 lines). Some lines look as though they should be split up. Assuming each line should begin with a date, then they are not on separate lines because there is no end-of-line there.

Yes, I'm aware of that, if you would have read my reply 10 seconds after I sent the first one, I corrected myself.
