Writing Variable to .txt using the fwrite function?
mjtweaver replied to mjtweaver's topic in PHP Coding Help
Well, for the moment a simple paragraph would suffice. I would like to know where I am going wrong, so I can learn why. -
I am going through the tutorial found at http://goo.gl/69MeY and in my ultimate wisdom have decided to see if I can create a form, which you input some text, and then in the php file that handles the form in puts that variable into a text document using the fwrite function, basically creating a file from the website containing whatever text you put in. There is no specific purpose to this idea, I am just trying to implement everything I have learnt so far. Form: http://pastebin.com/J62UHBeT PHP Handler: http://pastebin.com/FHuaKkxD I someone could point me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated Thanks in advance Michael

I'm going through the tutorial found here: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/626 I've tried adapting the code that you helped me with to include elseif statements. I can't see how my code differs from the tutorials apart from the fact I am still using && operators. The only code I have edited is on the form handler page. <html> <head></head> <body> <?php // Retrieve Information $day = $_POST['day']; $time = $_POST['time']; $country = $_POST['country']; // Conditional Statement if ($day == 'thursday' && $time == '0800' && $country == 'uk') { $meal = 'You have selected the ultimate arrangement.'; } elseif ($day == 'friday') && $time = '1000' && $country == 'usa') { $meal = 'Unlucky your American.'; } else {$meal == 'Muppet';} ?> <h2>Your selection...</h2> <?php echo $meal; ?> </body> </html> I think I have an exceptional talent for breaking pages.

Thank you very much for your help, the form is working just like I wanted.

Thanks for your quick reply! Sorry for being a NEWB - kinda new from coding things from scratch - I've been more a cut & paster, but trying to learn the right way. Below is the code, I have updated. It does produce the "bacon and eggs" statement when I get all the conditions right, but it doesn't produce the "sausages" statement I was looking for if you didn't produce the right conditions. baconandeggs.php <html> <head></head> <body> <form action="baconandeggsform.php" method="post"> <!-- Question One --> <p>Please choose what day it is:</p> <select name="day"> <option value="monday">Monday</option> <option value="tuesday">Tuesday</option> <option value="wednesday">Wednesday</option> <option value="thursday">Thursday</option> <option value="friday">Friday</option> <option value="saturday">Saturday</option> <option value="sunday">Sunday</option> </select> <br /> <!-- Question Two --> <p>Please enter the time:</p> <input type="time" name="time"> <br /> <!-- Question Three --> <p>Please choose what country you are from...</p> <select name="country"> <option value="uk">UK</option> <option value="usa">USA</option> <option value="europe">Europe</option> </select> <!-- Form Submit --> <input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html> baconandeggsform.php <html> <head></head> <body> <?php // Retrieve Information $day = $_POST['day']; $time = $_POST['time']; $country = $_POST['country']; // Conditional Statement if ($day == 'thursday') { if ($time == '0800') { if ($country == 'uk') {$meal = 'bacon and eggs';} else {$meal = 'sausages';} } } ?> <?php echo $meal; ?> </body> </html> Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi guys (again), thanks a lot for your previous help. I'm trying to learn about conditional statements and I've tried to create a form to produce a echo statement when all the conditions are met. Below is my code, it is in two files... baconandeggs.php <html> <head></head> <body> <form action="baconandeggsform.php" method="post"> <!-- Question One --> <p>Please choose what day it is:</p> <select name="$day"> <option value="monday">Monday</option> <option value="tuesday">Tuesday</option> <option value="wednesday">Wednesday</option> <option value="thursday">Thursday</option> <option value="friday">Friday</option> <option value="saturday">Saturday</option> <option value="sunday">Sunday</option> </select> <br /> <!-- Question Two --> <p>Please enter the time:</p> <input type="$time" name="time"> <br /> <!-- Question Three --> <p>Please choose what country you are from...</p> <select name="$country"> <option value="uk">UK</option> <option value="usa">USA</option> <option value="europe">Europe</option> </select> <!-- Form Submit --> <input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html> baconandeggsform.php <html> <head></head> <body> <?php if ($day == 'thursday') { if ($time == '0800') { if ($country == 'uk') {$meal = 'bacon and eggs';} else {$meal = 'sausages';} } } ?> <?php echo $meal; ?> </body> </html> Any ideas why it isn't working? I've probably done something really obvious, but I have been trying to figure it out for a few hours now and it's doing my head in!

I am learning PHP using the book "Beginning PHP and MySQL 5 - From Novice to Professional", and I have come across a lesson in the book which I am stuck on. The lesson is on using the echo() statement. I've typed in the following code and saved it as a php file.... <?php $heavyweight = "Lennox Lewis"; $lightweight = "Floyd Mayweather"; echo &heavyweight, " and ", $lightweight, " are great fighters."; ?> My Apache and PHP is working fine as my other PHP files work properly. When I try and view the file it says... "The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost:8888/phpdocs/multiplestringsecho.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly." and when I click on more information it says... "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request." Any ideas? Have I done something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
