[PHP] \n is not working!

\n isn't working properly.

Why do this line $new_topic = $post_0.'|'.$post_1.'|'.'$post_2\n'; writes to
the document
one|two|three\n
but not
one|two|three (and break)



whole code:

if ($a==new){
$post_0 = $_POST[one];
$post_1 = $_POST[two];
$post_2 = $_POST[three];
 if ($post_1 !=){
 if ($post_2 !=){
$m_fails=fopen('../data/menu.txt','a');
$new_topic = $post_0.'|'.$post_1.'|'.'$post_2\n';
fwrite($m_fails,$new_topic);
fclose($m_fails);
}}
}

Because it's in single quotes versus a double quotes.

Cheers,

Actually, that's not true. Assuming:

$post_0 = 'one';
$post_1 = 'two';
$post_2 = 'three';

The code you posted will store the following in $new_topic:

one|two|$post_2\n

While others were able to answer your question anyway (anything within
single quotes is interpreted literally), this demonstrates how providing
misinformation can make it very difficult for people to help you.

As a courtesy to those who spend their time answering questions, please
test your code. It really only takes a moment of your time.

Thanks. :-)
