Could anyone tell me why fwrite fails in the first code snip and not the second?

snip one
$f_lookup = $art_num.":".$tfile."\n";
fwrite($f_ptr,$f_lookup);

snip two
fwrite($f_ptr,"$art_num:$tfile\n");

snip one

Code:
$f_lookup = $art_num . ":" . $tfile . "\n";
fwrite($f_ptr, $f_lookup);

snip two

Code:
fwrite($f_ptr, "$art_num:$tfile\n");

First of all, what error message are you getting? I can not really see any obvious errors in your code.

Second
Spaces in your code do not cost anything
