Honestly, what does this do:

$fileID = fopen("nicknames.txt", "a") or die("Could not open " . $path . "/nicknames.txt");
   chmod("nicknames.txt", 0755);
   fputs($fileID, $nickname . "\
"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID);

What does it EXACTLY do?  What I'm trying to do is very very simple:  I have the nickname of "phil" and I add it to nicknames.txt as "phil" + "\
".  The next person adds his name as "bob" + "\
".  However, this happens:

phil
philbob

Is it due to the way I'm adding to the file?  Can someone show me how to append to a file properly without carrying over persistent existing data like what you see above, instead having it like this:

phil
bob

Thanx, I'm lost here.
