A POST ERROR (please help)

[paulman888888]

My code is this

<?php
$filename = "games/{$_POST["name"]}.php";

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    echo "<p>Theres an error, the name of your game already exists.<br />Go back and change the name of the game.<br /><a href='javascript: history.go(-1)'>Or Click Here</a></p>";
} else {
    $ourFileName = "games/{$_POST["name"]}.php";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("Can't make file");
fclose($ourFileHandle);

$myFile = "games/{$_POST["name"]}.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("There's an error!");
$stringData = "{$_POST["main"]}";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
echo "GAME CREATED SUSCESS FULL";
}
?>

the create file part works but the stringData part doesn't I don't know why the StringData isn't adding the post data information

 

the post data is something like this

<i>This is an example and i hope it helps</i>

 

Please help me fix the post data.

 

thankyou

$stringData = $_POST["main"];

it doesn't work!

 

I tested it and the file size is 0. for some reason its not adding my data.

you should echo out $filename in various places and see what it is.

 

$filename = "games/{$_POST["name"]}.php";

 

should be

 

$filename = "games/{$_POST['name']}.php";

 

you can't use unescaped double-quotes in a double-quoted string, so use single-quotes instead.

<?php
$data = $_POST['main'];
$name = $_POST['name'];

if(!$data || !$name){
echo "You need data and/or a name!";
}else {
$file = "/games/" . $name . ".php";

if(file_exists($file)){
	echo "The file <b>".$file."</b> already exists!\n";
}else {
	$f = fopen($file, "w+");
	fwrite($f, $data);
	fclose($f);

	echo "The game file has been created!\n";
}
}
?>
