For Windows, use:
fwrite($Open, "Text to add to file.\r\n");
And for Mac, I think it's:
fwrite($Open, "Text to add to file.\r");
Aren't standards wonderful? ;-)
If you want a more general solution, you might play with something like:
$text="This is the first line.\nAnother line makes two.\n";
if ($target=="win")
$text=str_replace( "\n", "\r\n", $text);
else if ($target=="mac")
$text=str_replace( "\n", "\r", $text);
fwrite($Open, $text);
Set your $target somewhere (maybe by parsing HTTP_USER_AGENT), and you
can stick with consistent use of UNIX-style text in your PHP.
There's probably a more elegant way to do this, but I don't know it.
