hi everybody, i have an script that uses a header to output to a txt file to be downloaded but i cant manage to write new lines on it, when i open the file on my local machine it just has one only line, i have tried  
\r and even \<br\> 😛  
this is the header im using:

header(“Pragma: no-cache”);  
header(“Expires: 0”);  
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: text/plain);  
header(“Content-type: application/force-download”);

i have tried changing the charset to utf-8 for the encoding but didnt work either, im getting desperate, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time folks
