Header: Download Text File

[iranor]

<?
header("Content-Type: text/plain; name=file.txt");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=file.txt");
echo "line1\nline2\nline3\nline4";
exit;
?>

The problem is, that when you download and open the file(with notepad) the whole text is on one line. Is there a way to make it so each line will be different?

I tried

<?
header("Content-Type: text/plain; name=file.txt");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=file.txt");
echo "
line1
line2
line3
line4";
exit;
?>

Without success also. It's all on one line, and little squares splicing the different lines.

Did you try this:
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=file.txt");
header("Content-Type: text/plain;");
echo "line1\r\nline2\r\nline3\r\nline4";

Newline characters are different according to OS.
While it might not show linebreaks on a Windows machine it might show them on a Linux box. You should decide on the majprity of the target audience and provide the linbreaks for that OS.
