Help with the Fopen function.

[whelpton]

I am trying to create a file upon sucessful user registration.

 

I've been trying to use the following code:

 

$filename = 'test.txt';
$somecontent = "Add this to the file\n";

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

    // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
    // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
    // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

    fclose($handle);

} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

 

But I'm struggling with getting the correct file location.

 

I'm trying to use the path /home/alport/public_html/, but then also include the persons username using a variable, for example by using $_POST["username"]. But I cant get the two codes to gel together.

 

Id greatly appreciate pointers on how to get the code working.

 

Thanks
