The submit button will be in the$_POST array, if you assign it a name
then you could 'unset' it before you implode your array... eg.

HTML: <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
PHP: @unset($_POST["submit"]);

That would remove the sumit button before you write, obviously the
submit button name would always have to be the same in each form.

I'm not sure what you mean about the new line, this appears to work just
fine for me with just the \n

<?php
if ( $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST" ) {

unset($_POST["submit"]);
$data = implode('|', $_POST);

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$data = stripslashes($data);
}

$listf = fopen ("member.txt", "a+");
$data = chop($data);
fwrite($listf, "$data\n");
fclose($listf);

}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>" method="post">
username<input type="text" name="username" value="" /><br />
password<input type="password" name="password" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
