I am having issues with a text file when it is downloaded that it actually breaks the formatting of the file. The script I have to make the text file uses str_pad to make the number of spaces needed between the items that are being parsed into the text file.
http://www.lokalradio.no/rapport/gramo/upload/gramorapport-Radio%20Metro%20Mj%C3%B8sbyene-opprettet%2016.08.2018.txt It appears to show correctly in the browser, but when the file is downloaded using Save Page As and then reopened in a text editor, the formatting is broken.
Is there something I can do in the php script or anything at all to prevent this from happening? The text file is made using this script
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, str_pad($res['dato'], 19));
fwrite($fh, str_pad($res['spilletid'], 6));
fwrite($fh, str_pad($res['songid'], 77));
fwrite($fh, str_pad($res["tittel"],50));
fwrite($fh, str_pad($res["artist"],50));
fwrite($fh, "
");
fclose($fh);
When the file is written the charset is set to ISO-8859-1 to have full support for Nordic characters. The download from browser might break the formatting because it assumes UTF-8.
