I have a script that allows clients to download their email lists from a
database.  However I can not get the 'new line' characters (\n \r) to do
their job in Notepad when the download is prompted and the file saved to
disk.  I've simplified the problem with the code below.  Both \n and \r
display as 'null' or undefined characters in Notepad.  What am I doing
wrong?

<?
$file = "LINE ONE\nLINE TWO\rLINE THREE\n\r";

header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=TEST.txt");
echo $file;
?>

http://www.helpelf.com/texttest.php Click here to run this code.  You should
be prompted to save the file.  Open the resulting file in Notepad on your
PC.  Tell me if the newlines show as 'null' characters or if each LINE ONE,
LINE TWO, etc. shows up on their own lines.  Mac users also welcome to try
in Simpletext/BBedit.

Much thanks,
Kevin Stone
