Hi friends

I need to write s string into a log file a string each time I run my php script.

How could I write the details into a new line each time I run.

I tried using \n but it is not working.....
eg:
$logdetail= "date: ".$todate.$coun t."values inserted\n";
fwrite($fptr, $logdetail);

THIS IS VERY URGENT Friends

Welcome to The Scripts!
Did you use fopen()?

Hi.

If your using windows you should do "\r\n" instead of "\n".

[PHP]$fh = fopen($filename , "a");
fwrite("I am a new line :D \r\n");
fclose($fh);[/PHP]

for adding a new line caharacter in a string, concatenate the string with a \n enclosed in double quotes.
eg: $string="new employee"."\n";
fwrite($fptr, $string);
This will write the contents of the string '$string' in to the file and take the cursor to the next line of the file.
So, when you execute the foll: code,
$emp_name="John ";
fwrite($fptr, $emp_name);
The name John will be printed in the next line of the file.

i.e. new employee
John
