I cant get it to work, heres the code, what am I doing wrong?

PHP Code:

  $handle = fopen('users.log',w);

if(!fwrite($handle, "UID: ".$_POST['uid']."PCO: ".$_POST['pcode']."EMA: ".$_POST['email']."FNA: ".$_POST['fname']."SNA: ".$_POST['sname'])) {

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/114793-fwrite.html
    echo( '<center>Error creating user profile!<p><a href = \'register.php\'>Try Again</a></p></center>');

    exit;

}else {

    echo( '<center>Registration complete!<p><a href = \'index.php\'>Continue</a></p></center>');

    exit;

}

when I run that above code (all the _POST variables are predefined) the file remains empty. whats wrong with it?

if(!fwrite($handle, "UID: ".$_POST['uid']."PCO: ".$_POST['pcode']."EMA: ".$_POST['email']."FNA: ".$_POST['fname']."SNA: ".$_POST['sname'])) {

    echo( '<center>Error creating user profile!<p><a href = \'register.php\'>Try Again</a></p></center>');

    exit;

}else {

    echo( '<center>Registration complete!<p><a href = \'index.php\'>Continue</a></p></center>');

    exit;

}

Not totally sure, but try that.

did you make sure the file is writable by the script?

Yes, need to set it to either 777 or 666.

And the only thing i noticed was wrong is that the w was not in '' quotes

hehe... make sure your file is writable and try the changes.. should work..

To chamod you can use ftp or file manager in cpanel and select the file then either right click of select chmod action.

If you are using an FTP program, (like I use smartFTP) just select the file right-click, and select properties/CHMOD.. then set to 666 or 777...

This:

PHP Code:

   $handle = fopen('users.log',w); 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=114793

Should be this:

PHP Code:

   $handle = fopen('users.log','w');

The W needs to be in quotes. I have had this issue before.

And as others have said, your file need to be writable. Usually what I do is create a file of 1 byte on my hard drive, upload it, then change the permissions in ftp. You can do it at the shell prompt too.

Right-Click on your file (users.log)
Select "Properties/CHMOD"
You'll see a box labeled "Permissions"
Type in 777
Click "Ok"

And I've saw your other thread...

Remember, that

PHP Code:

   $handle = fopen('users.log',w);

The w must be in '' like

PHP Code:

   $handle = fopen('users.log', 'w');

I dont thing you understand, there is no box labeled "Permissions" and there is no Properties/CHMOD, tehre is just Properties.
