fwrite issue

[dagoat10]

i have been trying to write to a file, but i get indentation in the file. I can get rid of the ^M characters but it's all shifted and each entry is a line, rathar then each row is a line.

example:
1
Name
Team
State

<?php

$file = file("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=1&statisticPositionCategory=QUARTER[/URL]
//$file = file("[URL unfurl="true"]http://charon.cs.wau.edu/~pkioko/Fantasy_Football.html");[/URL]
//$file = file("[URL unfurl="true"]http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/stats/byposition?pos=QB");[/URL]
$player_count = 1;

$newfile = "QB.txt";
$handle = fopen($newfile, 'w');

foreach ($file as $file_line => $files)
{
    $files = strip_tags($files);
    $chars = htmlspecialchars($files);
    $chars = strval($chars);
    $chars2 = explode(",", $chars);
    $chars3 = $chars2[0] . $chars2[1];
    if($file_line >= 1459 && $file_line <=11179 && $file !== " ")
    {
        //echo "Line #<b>{$file_line}</b> : " . htmlspecialchars($files) . "<br />\n";
    
        if($chars3 == $player_count)
        {
            //echo "<br>\n";
            $player_count++;
        }
   
        echo  htmlspecialchars($files);
        //fwrite($handle, $chars4);
    }



}
fclose($handle);
?>

hopefully I have answered your question in your other post.

you take the data that my code outputs and do this

$fH = fopen('QB.txt', 'wb');
foreach ($results as $result):
   fput_csv($fH, $result, ',', '"');
endforeach;

it's nice, but still does not work all it gives me back is
Array ()

i can't upgrade because i don't have permission to, so i am stuck with PHP 4.1.2, so file_get_contents does not work.

i don't get any rows returned and i have to use file() because i am under PHP 4.1.2

i have provided you with a curl alternative.
