You're probably running under Windows. Try using fopen('file','wb').
The 'b' stands for 'binary' and it should prevent the expansion
of LF to CRLF. It's mentioned in a note on the manual page of
fopen();

[PHP] \n outputs \r\n ??

[Michael Isaacs]

Still new to PHP - any assistance would be very much appreciated...

I am using a php script to send info to a local file for mail filtering.
Whe the php script sends the following:

fputs($nf, "MAILDIR=$MAILDIR # Default mail directory\n");

the output actually has a chr 13, 10

ProcMail interprest the CR as a part of the phrase it is using for parsing,
so when it goes to send a filter out to a folder (testing in my case) it
appends a CR to the end of it, which goofs up the user mail agent.  It also
goofs up the filter itself, as it is looking for a CR in the criteria.

Is there a way to force it to only output a LF, not CRLF?  Configuration
issue?
