We all know the line break character of PHP: \n, and the carriage return character: \r. When a line break is needed, the combination "\r\n" is usually used. But

is why the \n newline character does not work when we use fwrite to write a file. This article will take you to understand what to do when the newline character does not work when the php fwrite() function writes a newline
