should newline contain a crlf?

[PagCal]

If I want to write client independant code, and generate
new lines for WINDOWS as well as UNIX, how can I tell
from a php scrip what to use?

Should it be '\n' or '\r\n' or '\r' ?

The unix people don't like the \r's, but if I leave them out,
the Windows people can't read the generated file.

If you are asking about detecting Windows vs. Unix, use this code:

$bWindows = strpos($_ENV[’OS’], "Win") !== false;

so $bWindows will be true if on Windows machine.
