Not sure what could be the problem.
I'm dumping data from an array $theArray
into theFile.txt
, each array item on a separate line.
$file = fopen("theFile.txt", "w");
foreach ($theArray as $arrayItem){
fwrite($file, $arrayItem . '
');
}
fclose($file);
Problem is when I open theFile.txt
, I see the being outputted literally. Also if I try to programmatically read the file line by line (just in case lines are there), it shows them as 1 line meaning
are really not having their desired effect.
Enclose in double quotes as
" "
Inside a single quote a is treated as a literal slash followed by an n, but inside a double quote it is interpreted as a newline char.
Single quotes do not process anything inside the quotes. Any '$' or escaped characters will appear exactly as they are printed with no modification (unless you run them through a function. You will have to use double quotes in order for the ' ' to appear as a line break in the file.
