\n stopped working?

[cleansedbb]

anyone have an idea why \n would stop working??

I have a script that would edit a text file and go to
the next line so I could enter more data.

this function has stopped, now it just tags everything
at the same line???

very strange, I'm going to reupload my cgi from a backup but just wondered if anyone knew why it would just stop?

the cgi hasnt been touched *that I know of* in months and it just stopped working about 3 days ago.

Maybe with some code samples I could help and also what kind of machine you are running.

using a linux redhat system, if u need speed specs I can post them.

using echat.cgi and admin.cgi (from echat)

in admin.cgi is has a section for banned ip's

and it prints the banned ip to the ban list

print BANNED "$FORM['IP'}\n";
but the \n doesnt make the return to a new line.

my banlist ends up like
123.123.123.123123.123.123.124
instead of
123.123.123.123
123.123.123.124

I'm assuming print BANNED "$FORM['IP'}\n"; is a typo? ['IP'}?

yeah it's a typo it's {'ip"}

I was typing to quick. either way in the original code
it's original and it isnt making a new line. is there
a way to force it? like in html with <br>??

Have you tried \n\r?
