New line when appending a txt file with PHP

[Emil_RDW]

Hello everybody!

 

Keep in mind I'm new to PHP but get the basics

 

I'm trying to collect email addresses from a web-form that gets filled out on a website into a simple txt file on the server.  The problem is the emails get appended one right after the other with no spaces so it looks like "user@server.comuser2@server.comuser3@server.com" and so on.  What I'm trying to do is either separate them by a comma, or put them on a new line but whatever I try, it will not accept it.

 

Anyway, here is the code that I have:

 

$fp = fopen("/home/fullertr/public_html/email_collector.txt","a");
				fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail' . "\n"]);
				fclose($fp);
				unset($_POST);

 

Thanks for any help!

could you append a break onto your fwrite()

fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail' . " <br /> \n"]);

nope it didn't work.  Actually that doesn't even save anything into the txt file.

That's because that code is invalid and produces an error.

 

 

Exactly how are you displaying the data where it ends up being all on one line? In an editor? On a web page?

sorry it didn't work...just a shot in the dark..was worth a shot

Actually that helped me out!

 

I modified it to be on it's own and this actually works:

 

$fp = fopen("/home/fullertr/public_html/email_collector.txt","a");
				fwrite($fp,$_POST[" <br /> \n"]);
				fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail']);
				fclose($fp);
				unset($_POST);

 

Thanks a lot!  Now I have them going to a new line.  Now how can I separate them by a comma instead of a new line?

 

PFMaBiSmAd, I'm viewing the text file in the browser by going to the server.com/email.txt

try using the implode() function on your post data

 

[Emil_RDW]

I got it! 

 

 

$fp = fopen("/home/fullertr/public_html/email_collector.txt","a");
				fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail']. '; ');
				fclose($fp);
				unset($_POST);

 

Thanks guys for all the help!
