I am writing to a file with append but the it adds it to the last line. Is there a new line command I can use?

"Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=92) state=1"

@Mr_FloppyauthorAug 18.2003 — <?php

$date=date("F j, Y");

$fileloc="guests.txt";

$file=fopen($fileloc,"a") or die("Error. Please go back and try again");

fputs($file,n$name.":".$date.":".$comment);

fclose($file);

print "Thank you. Please go back.";

?>

fputs($file,"n".$name.":".$date.":".$comment);

fputs($file,"n$name:$date:$comment");

When using double quotes ("), variables will be read as the value of the variable. It's only with single quotes (') that it will display the actual variable.

Success!
