Writing to a file with posted variable name--HELP

Hi, I'm new at PHP development (and programming in general) but have had to learn it for a college project. So hopefully this code doesn't look too dumb.

 

A Java program is sending me variables through the post method. Here is my code:

 

<html>

<?php

 

$ClockNum = $_POST['clock_registration'];

settype($ClockNum, "string");

$Time = $_POST['time'];

$ampm1 = $_POST['ampm1'];

$Alarm = $_POST['alarm'];

$ampm2 = $_POST['ampm2'];

$fh = fopen($ClockNum, 'w');

fwrite($fh, $ClockNum);

fwrite($fh, $Time);

fwrite($fh, $ampm1);

fwrite($fh, $Alarm);

fwrite($fh, $ampm2);

fclose($fh);

 

?>

</html>

 

I thought I needed to convert the variable to a string, but even this doesn't help. It wasn't working before of after I tried inserting that line. The permissions settings are all fine, including the files to which the program writes. Any ideas??? I need help...fast.

 

Also, I know my code is very sloppy. What is the proper way to combine all of the fwrite lines? And do I need the html tags at all? (I also tried with those removed, just in case.)
