Need help with Server-side Text File editing
ThatBurritoGuy replied to ThatBurritoGuy's topic in PHP Coding Help
File permissions? Could you elaborate on that? And, thanks for correcting those XD Didn't know it was "\n". "<br>" seems to work fine to me though. -
Hello! First post here. I made an "interview" webpage. Basically just the typical Question then Textbox thing. I think it'll be more clear if I posted the code. <html> <title> PHP </title> <head> </head> <body> <form name="form1" method="POST" action="TestProcess.php"> What is your name on Facebook?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question1"><br> <br> Why do you deserve to be an admin?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question2"><br> <br> Do you have any past experiences of being an administrator? Yes or No?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question3"><br> <br> What are your skills?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question4"><br> <br> What about your managing skills, how is it? Rate it 1-10<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question5"><br> <br> Why should we choose YOU over the other applicants?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question6"><br> <br> Are you active? How much?<br> <input type="text" size=100 name="Question7"><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <input type="Submit" name="Submit1" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Now that should be easy, it's just those "<br>" tags that expand it lol. Here's the TestProcess.php <?php $q1=$_POST['Question1']; $q2=$_POST['Question2']; $q3=$_POST['Question3']; $q4=$_POST['Question4']; $q5=$_POST['Question5']; $q6=$_POST['Question6']; $q7=$_POST['Question7']; $fn="TestPHPAnswers.txt"; $file=fopen($fn, "a+"); fwrite($file, $q1."/n".$q2."/n".$q3."/n".$q4."/n".$q5."/n".$q6."/n"); fclose($file); print("Application Sent"); ?> By looking at the code, you'll realize I have 3 pages for my site. The concept I have in mind is: 1. Users fill out textboxes. These textboxes have specific names. 2. The values of the textboxes are assigned to variables. 3. The TestProcess opens a text file in the site (more on this later, I'm a bit confused.) and appends the variables to it, then close. That's it. Now, when I tried to run my code, went through everything. I was surprised that the text file is untouched. No modifications or anything. Does it have something to do with the "$fn" part? Should I do "www.example.com/TestPHPAnswers.txt" or just "TestPHPAnswers.txt"? I also tried the "file_put_content" thing, still didn't work. Can someone tell me what's wrong? and maybe, nudge me into the right solution? Thanks (Anyways, I just started PHP two days ago. Pretty sure I'm missing out on something.)
