在php中写入文本文件的问题

Question

I am using urldecode data for writing a content in to a text file, but in that file all the contents are showing together(not aligned expected) in windows notepad(in windows wordpad it is coming correctly), also when i open it in Ubuntu contents are coming correctly(my contents have enter key and spaces some special characters too).

$attachment_file = fopen(Yii::app()->basePath.'/../uploads/attachment'.$user_id.'.txt', "a+") or die("Unable to open file!");   

$content         = urldecode($note_data["note_data"]);

fwrite($attachment_file,$content);
fclose($attachment_file);

For the quick fix i did

$content = str_replace("
","
",$content);

but i want to know is there any other methods to do it.

If you are using Linux to create the file, you should manually add this. If you use Windows, You can try str_replace(" ", PHP_EOL, $content) instead.

I don't understand why you are doing urldecode. Maybe you should use something like utf8_decode if you have your data in utf-8 format.
