file_put_contents and a new line and space

Question

After sending the string via the email i want to save it into file. so i do it this way:

file_put_contents("coupon.txt", $email.  $RandomString  , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

and in this way it's look like this:

email@email.com12d45f8e9email2@email2.com1d2d5s4d51d

so no new line and no space between the codes. when i tray to use this way:

file_put_contents("coupon.txt", $email. .  $RandomString .PHP_EOL.  , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

it's just wont save anything, more then this is to error the mail sending.

Tal.

typo ! `$email. .` won't work try `$email .` and `PHP_EOL.` won't work either, remove this final dot. — Kaiido, Aug 27 '15 at 09:35

use \t and \n in the string you want to write.

file_put_contents("coupon.txt", $email."\t". $RandomString . "\n" , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

I use \t before, so use \n. Besides, everyone know the meaning. Acutally I don't know the type of PHP_EOL with out read the docs. – Yang Aug 27 '15 at 11:40

You need to append "\n", try this:

file_put_contents("coupon.txt", $email . "  " . $RandomString . "\n"  , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

PHP_EOL is ok for your situation, PHP_EOL is a cross-platform-compatible way, maybe you can try it. – huwence Aug 27 '15 at 10:43
file_put_contents("coupon.txt", $email . " " . $RandomString . "\r\n" , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX); – praiA Tent Aug 27 '15 at 19:19
