How to write multiple line output in php?

Question

I want to write output of command in to php file.But when I open file only one line of output is written.

  $myfile = fopen("status1.txt", "a+"); 
  $cmd="asterisk -rx 'sip show peers'|greo OK";

  $test1=system($cmd);
  fwrite($myfile, $test1);
  fclose($myfile);

OUTPUT is

1004  /1004     (Unspecified)                            D                 0         OK                                  
1005  /1005     (Unspecified)                            D   N             0         OK                                  
1006  /1006     (Unspecified)                            D   N             0         OK                                  
2501  /2501     (Unspecified)                            D                 0         OK                                  
2502  /2502     (Unspecified)                            D   a             0         OK                                  
2503  /2503     (Unspecified)                            D   a             0         OK                                  
2504  /2504     (Unspecified)                            D                 0         OK

You need to append. Check the previous question mentioned from duplicate comment — Trung Nguyen, Sep 18 '15 at 09:40
@TrungNguyen he used `a+` meaning pointer is at the end of file and it does not truncate to zero. — Amir Hossein Baghernezad, Sep 18 '15 at 09:42
have you tried using `\r\n` before `$test1` ? have you tried using `a` instead of `a+` ? — Amir Hossein Baghernezad, Sep 18 '15 at 09:46
Read the [documentation](http://php.net/system). It says `Returns the last line of the command output on success`. So `$test1` will only be the last line of the command's output. — Jonnix, Sep 18 '15 at 09:55
@soni8010 [exec()](http://php.net/exec) should do the trick. — Jonnix, Sep 18 '15 at 10:03
@JonStirling it works with shell_exec.Thanks for notifying me — soni8010, Sep 18 '15 at 10:06

You may try to use the exec function instead of system

e.g.

exec($cmd,scanme);
$scanme = implode("\n",$scanme);

exec ( string $command [, array &$output [, int &$return_var ]] )

Your case:

  $myfile = fopen("status1.txt", "a+"); 
  $cmd="asterisk -rx 'sip show peers'|greo OK";

  exec($cmd,$test1);
  $test1 = implode("\n",$test1);

  fwrite($myfile, $test1);
  fclose($myfile);
