PHP Newline problem

[MRGRIM]

$output = "#EXTM3Un#EXTINF:".$filelength.",".urldecode($_GET['play'])."n".str_replace("/", "", urldecode($_GET['folder']))."".urldecode($_GET['play']);

$newfile='live.m3u';

$file = fopen ($save_path.$newfile, "w");

fwrite($file, $output);

fclose ($file);

I am trying to write the $output to a file named live.m3u, however when the code executes it all ends up on the same line with a [] instead of a carridge return, the text it outputs is fine and if I manually open the file and put the code on 3 lines the .m3u will open. I have tried a couple of things but I can't seem to get n to work, does anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure if this should have gone into coding?

try rn instead of n and see what that does.

:-P Nice one fella, works a treat off to find out what /r does

Are you on Windows or Linux/mac?

I think n works as a replacement to <br> when doing echo statments for html, but rn is when streaming data to a file.

On a MAC rn works like n on windows and linux for html <BR> though.

[jollyrancher82]

Windows, Linux, and OSX interpret n and rn differently, some assume r with n.

windows uses

\r\n

and linux is

\n

but for simplicity's sake, just use the php constant

PHP_EOL

(since 4.3.10 and 5.0.2) cite

the server decides what the correct line ending is for

it's environment and uses it.

enjoy!

Nice! Thanks for that.
