modifying a text file

[bonski]

i've been trying to modify some lines from a text file... and i had this text file and a php script to modify it...

//code.txt

101:2001
102:2002
103:2003
104:2004

//code_reader.php
[PHP]<?php

$code_file = 'code.txt';
$code_file_lines = file($code_file);

if(isset($_GET['address']) && isset($_GET['code'])){

$address = $_GET['address'];
$code = $_GET['code'];

$c = 0;
for($a = 0; $a<sizeof($code_file_lines); $a++){
$content = explode(":", $code_file_lines[$a]);
if($address == $content[0] && $code != $content[1]){
$code_content[$c] = trim($content[0]).':'.trim($code);
}else{
$code_content[$c] = trim($content[0]).':'.trim($content[1]);
}
$c++;
}

$new_code = implode('\n', $code_content);
file_put_contents($code_file, $new_code);
}

?>
[/PHP]

now if i try to send to send values like this to modify a certain line...

code_reader.php?address=102&code=2001

i want to output it as this...

101:2001
102:2001
103:2003
104:2004

but it turns out like this...

101:2001\n102:2001\n103:2003\n104:2004

i know... using

[PHP]file_put_contents($code_file, $new_code);[/PHP]

will write it as string.. is there any function that will convert it to stream so that when it modifies the text file.. it can read "\n".


thanks..

hahaha... nevermind guys... i already found a solution.. using.. [PHP]chr(10)[/PHP] instead of '\n'.

Heya, bonski.

PHP won't parse '\n' when it's enclosed in single quotes. You need to use "\n" instead.
