Php new line?!?

hi everyone... i am writing a php to file write script. i have the info entering from a form on a separate page. below is the code i have written however i need to get the info to be entered on a new line each time its entered.

<?

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$fp = fopen('./messages.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, '' . $name . ': ' . $message . '');
fclose($fp);
?>

Code (markup):

where abouts can i enter the new line command and what is it?

Thanks =]

 

newline is "\n"

 

i know its a \n but where on my script do i put it... i have tried it everywhere

 

fwrite($fp, '' . $name . ': ' . $message . '\n');

Code (markup):

I also prefer for html:

echo "<br />";

Code (markup):

I have it saved as a one key macro in my editor.

To add: windows may need \r\n

Some text editors may not be able to show the line break, however...for obvious reasons.

 

thank you Eager2Seo,

i have now changed it to add to a .html file rather than a .txt file and used the <br /> rather than \n.

now i have done this the page that includes the .html file reads the <br /> and puts the new lines in

again thank you very much

 

No problem.

The / in the tag makes it XHTML compliant as well.

 

You need to wrap double quotes around the \n, so it evaluates.

Also for cross-server compatability consider using \r\n
