Text file writing error

[blufish]

Ok, so I'm trying to make a simple shoutbox, heres my code, my errors and my hosting specs.

 

<?php
$file = fopen("http://www.frozenoven.com/boxz/msgz.txt","r+");
$lateer = fgets($file);
$mypost = ($_POST['mesg'] + $latter);
fclose($file);
$filet = fopen("http://www.frozenoven.com/boxz/msgz.txt","w+");
fwrite ($filet,$mypost);
fclose($file);
?>

 

Here are the numerous errors:

 

Warning: fopen(http://www.frozenoven.com/boxz/msgz.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home/blufish/public_html/boxz/postingisbad.php on line 2

600gb

does anyone here know how to make it so I can write the file or anything I am doing wrong.  Thanks in advance.

instead of using the http path use the file path

ie

$file = fopen(msgz.txt","r+");

or

$file = fopen(dirname(__FILE__)."/msgz.txt","r+");

thanks madtechie, could anyone tell me why it returns 0 it should be writing what was entered in a form is there some other sort of thing I should use. thanks.

Try these 2 examples

<?php
$data = file_get_contents("msgz.txt");
if(!empty($_POST['mesg']))
{
$data = $data.$_POST['mesg'];
file_put_contents("msgz.txt", $data);
}
?>

 

or

this uses less memory

<?php
if(!empty($_POST['mesg']))
{
$fp = fopen('msgz.txt', 'a'); //Appends Data
fwrite($fp, $_POST['mesg']);
fclose($fp);
}
?>
