This \r \n business has me rather angry. The reason that #10, #13, and #10#13 have to be switched between to cross platforms has to do with the difference in interpretation of carriage return and line feed from our typewriter heritage. C invented \n to *get* *rid* *of* the problem, and apparently now PHP has chosen \n to mean one or the other. This behavior is incorrect. In typical usage, it is correct simply to use \n. A note for the above: for DOS/Windoze machines, it is not #13#10, but the other way around: #10#13. Most programs will interpret the preceding erroneous directions happily, but please realize that they've them backwards. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23113 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23113 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23113
