I don't know if it may help you, but why don't you set a constant in a
config file included by all your scripts to the CRLF value you want (if
you want it dependant on the OS you can use http://php.net/php_uname)
and then you append this constant to all your strings?

Example:

- config.inc.php:
define('CRLF', ( strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN' ? "\r\n" :
"\n" ) );

- other_script.php
require_once 'config.inc.php';
.....
$string = 'Hi! My name is Pippo!' . CRLF;


Or something like this... ;-)
