fopen()

Is there something that says that I can only have only one file
open at a time?

The reason I ask is if I run two file open connections at the same time
my emailAddresses.txt file is read, but none of my emails are sent.
All of the data ends up in my error_file_log.txt. If I comment out the
second fopen() stream used for my error log my email program
works fine. Very strange behavior...

And while I am on the subject this code:
$file_emailErr = @fopen("emailErrorLog.txt", "a") or exit("Unable to open
file!");
$subject = "\n\n" . "Subject: " .$subject .
" \n**************************************
**********************\n";
@fwrite($file_emailErr, $subject);

outputs this text:

Subject: test  2
 ****************************************
********************

This code
if(!$mail->Send()){
$myString = $emailAdd . "\t" . $myName . "\n";
fwrite($file_emailErr, $myString);
}
outputs this text:
kraash@mysite.net
Kevin
asdf@asdf.com
Jone
qwer@asdfa.net
Jack
kraash@mysite.net
Kevin

Why is the name written to a newline in the second code example, but the
first
example works as it should?

insight always appreciated
thank you
Kevin

Should be no problem unless you get a variable clash...
This works perfectly:

<?php
$a =3D fopen(dirname(__FILE__).'/a','w');
$b =3D fopen(dirname(__FILE__).'/b','w');
fwrite($a,'This is a');
fwrite($b,'This is b');
fclose($a);
fclose($b);
?>

2 options:
1. There's a newline char in $emailAdd.
2. There is no actual newline, it's just how it looks due to wrapping in=

the viewport.
