NEWLINE in windows going to UNIX

Question

I am developing on PHPandAPACHE on windows xampp environment.
I have some files I read and write to.
I do use definitions of NEWLINES (\r\n for Windows, \n for UNIX), but isn't it that when I port to UNIX I am going to have to convert all these files to UNIX text formats? Is this not a door to lots of weird annoying bugs ?

Thanks

If you do not convert your files to appropriate newlines for a given environment, you are likely to encounter weird, annoying bugs. — Eric J., May 07 '12 at 23:23

Yes, this can be any annoying problem. You will need address it somehow. I wrote my own C++ utility using fstream/sstream, but there are lots of solutions out there. There's actually a stack overflow which mentions a few ways to do this:
