whats wrong with this script (fopen,fwrite)

[tommych]

Some how my script won't write $data into a file.

The file doesn't exist, that why i chose "w" because it should make the file if it doesn't exist, but it doesn't  :(. Anyone got any ideas?  :-\

[code]$filename = $uploaddir."logs.sdf";

if (is_writable($filename)) {

if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}

if (fwrite($handle, $data) == FALSE) {

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

fclose($handle);
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', $user, $password)
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db($dbu) or die('Could not select database');
$datelog = $mday.".".$mmonth.".".$myear;
// Performing SQL query
$query = "INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `user`, `datelog`, `dateupload`, `Time`, `IP`) VALUES (NULL, '".$name."', '".$datelog."',".date(" 'd.m.Y'").", CURDATE(), '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."' );";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

// Free resultset
mysql_free_result($result);

// Closing connection
mysql_close($link);

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

}[/code]

Thanks for looking at my code  ;)

What does $uploaddir look like?

Try this:

[code=php:0]
<?php

$filename = $uploaddir . "logs.sdf";

if(is_writable($filename)) {

if(!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {

echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;

}

if(fwrite($handle, $data) === FALSE) {

echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;

}

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

fclose($handle);

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", $user,  $password);
mysql_select_db($dbu, $link);

$datelog = $mday . "." . $mmonth . "." . $myear;

$result = mysql_query("insert into `users` (`id`,`user`,`datelog`,`dateupload`,`Time`,`IP`)
values (NULL,'$name','$datelog','".date("d.m.Y")."', CURDATE(), '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."')");
mysql_free_result($result);

mysql_close($link);

}

else {

echo "The file is not writeable";

}

?>
[/code]

umm still no luck. did you just change "=== False" ?

$uploaddir = "/home/protoan/public_html/test/$year/$month/$day/";

e.g

$uploaddir = "/home/protoan/public_html/test/2006/07/21/";

[chrisprse]

No not just === FALSE was changed!

Does the whole directory already exist, you just want it to create the file?

Or are you wanting it to create the directory? E.g. /2006/07/21 as well?

[tommych]

the directory(ies) are checked and created before hand. And yes i just want to create the file with $data in it.

[chrisprse]

Have you got permissions in the directory /2006/07/21/ to create files?

[tommych]

this is the folder can't be found this script makes the folders with CHMOD 0777 (allows everything).
is really anoying, it doesn't even make the file :(

and all the variables check out.

[code]if (is_dir($uploaddir.$myear) == TRUE) {
// Check month
if (is_dir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth) == TRUE) {
// Check day
if (is_dir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday) == TRUE) {
// if day exists use random name to make dir
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday."/".$randomnr, 0777);
$uploaddir = $uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday."/".$randomnr."/";
} else {
// day folder doesn't exist, make it
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday, 0777);
$uploaddir = $uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday."/";
}
} else {
// month folder doesn't exist, make month folder and day folder
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth, 0777);
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday, 0777);
$uploaddir = $uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday."/";
}
} else {
// year folder doesn't exist, make year folder and month folder and day folder
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear, 0777);
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth, 0777);
mkdir($uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday, 0777);
$uploaddir = $uploaddir.$myear."/".$mmonth."/".$mday."/";
}[/code]
