ob_start()?

[zeeshan_haider000]

Hi everyone

lol another quick question:

I used ob_start() and then tried to write the buffer data (ob_get_contents()) to a file, but the file isn't being created... here is my script, am i doing anything wrong?

Help will be much appreciated, thanks.

 

<?php
function GetNohay($cat){

ob_start();

if (isset($_GET['reciter'])){
$reciter = $_GET['reciter'];

//**TABLES, FIELDS 
include_once('config.php');
if (isset($_GET['year'])){
$t = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM column1 WHERE Sng ='".addslashes($reciter)."' AND Year='".addslashes($_GET['year'])."' AND Cat='".$cat."' ORDER BY Year DESC, Sng ASC") or die(mysql_error());
  	}
else {
$t = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM column1 WHERE Sng ='".addslashes($reciter)."' AND Cat='".$cat."' ORDER BY Year DESC, Sng ASC"); 
  if(!$t) die(mysql_error());
  	 }

$a = mysql_fetch_object($t); 
$total_items = mysql_num_rows($t); 

if(isset($_GET['limit'], $_GET['page'])){
$limit = $_GET['limit']; 
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
else {
$limit = 10;
$page = 1;
}

//set default if: $limit is empty, non numerical, less than 10, greater than 50 
if((!$limit)  || (is_numeric($limit) == false) || ($limit < 10) || ($limit > 30)) { 
     $limit = 10; //default 
} 
//set default if: $page is empty, non numerical, less than zero, greater than total available 
if((!$page) || (is_numeric($page) == false) || ($page < 0) || ($page > $total_items)) { 
      $page = 1; //default 
} 

//calcuate total pages 
$total_pages     = ceil($total_items / $limit); 
$set_limit          = $page * $limit - ($limit); 

if (isset($_GET['year'])){
$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM column1 WHERE Sng ='".addslashes($reciter)."' AND Year='".addslashes($_GET['year'])."' AND Cat='".$cat."' ORDER BY Year DESC, Sng ASC LIMIT $set_limit, $limit") or die(mysql_error());

Turn error reporting and dsiplay errors on and tell us if your getting an error.

Turn error reporting and dsiplay errors on and tell us if your getting an error.

 

well that's what i am getting after turning error_reporting(E_ALL) on ;

Warning: fopen(/sitev2/nohay.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/46/d272861742/htdocs/site.com/sitev2/includes/functions.php on line 277

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /homepages/46/d272861742/htdocs/site.com/sitev2/includes/functions.php on line 279

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /homepages/46/d272861742/htdocs/site.com/sitev2/includes/functions.php on line 281

what that is saying is that the file doesn't exist..

 

its trying to open the file from the base directory of your server.. not the base directory of the website..

 

try removing the first / in the filename..

 

you're looking for /sitev2/filename.html

instead of

 

/var/www/htdocs/sitev2/filename.html

 

also its good to add, that fopen does not create a directory.. it may attempt to create a file depending on the mode you opened the file with (second parameter of fopen()).

 

so since you're looking INSIDE of a DIRECTORY which doesn't exist.. the file isn't being created since the directory doesn't exist, therefore your php throws the error you're encountering
