How to write data in a file to the next line

fwrite($ourFileHandle , $_POST[user]);
fwrite($ourFileHandle , "\n");
fwrite($ourFileHandle , $_POST[address]);

I want the following output

\n only shows up in your browser when enclosed with <pre> tags.

Look at the source directly, use <pre> tags or use <br> instead of \n

$user = trim($_POST['user']);
$add = trim($_POST['address']);

fwrite($ourFileHandle, "$user\n$add");

(assuming you were writing to a text file)

re: How to write string in a file to the next line

On Windows you need \r\n to produce a newline. Most editor is smart
enough to recognize \n, but not Notepad. You used to be able to open a
file in text mode, which turns on automatic translation of \n to \r\n.
But the PHP devs now are discouraging its use and, the last time I
tried, it didn't work.
