[MadnessRed]

$_get['directory'].'/'.$_get['name'].'.txt' 

 

and then make it so it is chmod 777

By reading the manual? =/  Do you want anything inside the file, or do you just want it created?

 

For the former, use file_put_contents();.  For the later use touch().

 

Then use chmod().

I will want to write to it, but later, for now i just want a text file created which I can name and choose the directory of.

I tried using fopen but it jsut said the the fiels didn't exist even though fopen should create it.

I said to use touch(). =P

The touch() function sets the access and modification time of the specified file.

how does that help me?

 

 

how about this code though?

//First set the file path
$file = $_get['directory'].'/'.$_get['name'].'.txt';

//now the option to put in some content, blank atm
$content = "";

//Now we don't want to damage an existing files
if (file_exists($file)) {
   echo 'Error, file already exists';
}else{
   //Create the file
   file_put_contents($file,$content);
   //Make it writeable
   chmod($file,0777);
   //Success, lets tell them
   echo 'File made successfully';
}

If you've ever used Unix, you'd know it creates the file if it doesn't exist.

yh but i use unix through gnome, not php

 

how about this code then?

 

//First set the file path
$file = $_get['directory'].'/'.$_get['name'].'.txt';

//now the option to put in some content, blank atm
$content = "";

//Now we don't want to damage an existing files
if (file_exists($file)) {
   echo 'Error, file already exists';
}else{
   //Create the file
   touch($file);
   //Make it writeable
   chmod($file,0777);
   //Add contents is I decide to make them
   file_put_contents($file,$content);
   //Success, lets tell them
   echo 'File made successfully';
}
