You have to use parenthesis for functions like fwrite.

There aren't any () because that's the only way the forums would let me post code

I'd start by removing those @'s from all the function calls so you can see if any errors are reported

[joquius]

if($_COOKIE[user]!="")
{
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=submit value=send>";
}
go for $_COOKIE['user'] instead, and if this doesn't help make sure the cookie is actually set as with no errors it could only be this

Look at line 4. fwriTe needs to have a "t" in it.

Plase note when posting functions, place a space between the function name and the opening parenthesis, like so:
[code]fopen (... blah ...);[/code]
Whenyou do that the forum will allow you to post.
