Create txt file in PHP

Question

Hi,

I am creating text file in php, file has created in correct format from local pc and if i am trying online then no line break is there and not displaying formated.

I am using this code.

header("Content-type: application/txt");
header("Content-Length: ". sizeof($content));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=". $file);
print $content; die;

If anyone have solutions please share with me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try

header('Content-Type: text/plain');
readfile($file);

This should be sufficient to send the file as plaintext. If this doesnt work for you for some obscure reason, a last resort would be to wrap the content in <pre> tags.

Answer 2

you have a typo:

header("Content-Length: ". sizeof($content));

also, you should use

header("Content-type: text/plain");

Answer 3

• The correct content type is text/plain
• It's Content-Length, not Content-Lenght, and normally PHP will send this for you
• Instead of die, better use exit.

The problem is probably because of the wrong MIME type - some browsers will ignore invalid content types and display it as HTML.

Answer 4

I have already tried this "text/plain" but not display correct.
