Gosh! JC, I used $_POST['textbox'] as an example for you. If you wish to end your lines by "\r\n" instead of "\n" just do it, like here $file_data = "editdate#".date('l d_m_Y')."\r\n"; And if you have some textareas on your HTML form, you can change them like $_POST['textbox'] = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $_POST['textbox']); Where 'textbox' is a name of your textarea field. Got it?
