fopen() File Browser Wondow?

[Dan_Mason]

Hello Again,

 

I have another problem with fopen()  ???

 

What I want to happen basically is for The User to Click "Export Data" and a File browser box should appear with a default location and filename (i.e. 'C:\Documents and Settings\optimal\Desktop\Data.txt).

 

So that if the user wishes to, they can change the Directory and filename.

 

Basically whatever they change the Filepath to, I need it to be a variable Like this=

$filepath = $UserDefinedFilepath

 

Here is the Current code =

 

<?php

$filename = 'C:\Documents and Settings\optimal\Desktop\Data\ReportData ' . date('d-m-y') . '.txt';
$somecontent = $Something;

	fopen($filename, 'w');

// 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($filename, 'w')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

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

    echo '<center>';
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<br />';
    echo "Success, wrote Data to file ($filename)";
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<br />';
    echo '<a href="Quad_Frame.php">Back</a>';
    echo '</center>';

    fclose($handle);

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

 

Any Ideas?

Thanks

So you're importing data from the clients computer and saving it on your host?

 

That's what the code looks like it's doing, so it's not actually exporting?

 

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, I think this little tutorial could be useful though

It shows you how to create one of those "browse files" input boxes and put it on your host.
