[SOLVED] writing to another file?

[TFD3]

data from the php file http://www.spotternetwork.org/pro/howto-gm.php

needs to be written to a new file named tracker.xml

Have any examples or ideas? 

[corbin]

fopen

fwrite

 

And if you're doing XML stuff, you might want to look at SimpleXML.

im using this script but it seems im missing something???

 

 

 

<?php

$filename = 'tracker.xml';

$data = fopen("http://www.spotternetwork.org/pro/feed/484337fcc02ce/gm.php", "r");

 

 

// 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 $data 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, $data) === FALSE) {

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

exit;

}

 

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

 

fclose($handle);

 

//} else {

//echo "The file $filename is not writable";

//}

?>

OK i got everything copied over to the xml file but the script below adds "Resource id #3" to the beginning of the xml file.

HOw can I remove the Resource id #3 ??

 

 

<?php

$filename = 'tracker.xml';

$data = file_get_contents

('http://www.spotternetwork.org/pro/feed/484337fcc02ce/gm.php');

 

 

// 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 $data will go when we fwrite() it.

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

echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";

exit;

}

 

// Write $data to our opened file.

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

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

exit;

}

 

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

 

fclose($handle);

 

//} else {

//echo "The file $filename is not writable";

//}

?>
