PHP Basic Help

Is there any way once a user opens a page with a php script to automatically make a .html with a couple columns in the newly made file?

[jackpf]

fopen() & fwrite()

[gangsterwanster1]

what about specifically making a table + fwrite

[Axeia]

fwrite is a 'global' way of creating files, it's not specific to any particular kind of string.

You'd simply need to pass in the second parameter as '<table><tr><td></td></tr></table>'.

Why do i get a syntax error with this?

 

fwrite($file, <table><tr><td>l_DATA .</td></tr></table>"\n");

[Ken2k7]

fwrite($file, '<table><tr><td>' . l_DATA . "</td></tr></table>\n");

[gangsterwanster1]

fwrite($file, '<table><tr><td>' . l_DATA . "</td></tr></table>\n");

No error came up but i don't see the table either?

 

//Why doesn't this become bold? :                '<br>' . "Data: " . '</br>' .

You're using <br> instead of <b>?

You're using <br> instead of <b>?

oops, my bad.

 

Last question.

 

fwrite($f, '<table><tr><td>' .

'<b>' . "Data1: " . '</b>' . l_DATA .

'<b>' . "Date2: " . '</b>' . l_DATA2 .

                '<b>' . "Date3: " . '</b>' . l_DATA3 . 

"</td></tr></table>\n");

 

How can i do it so there is 3 columns; data1, data2, data3. And l_data goes under the title column?

 

 

[Ken2k7]

$data = '<table><tr><td>' . I_DATA . '</td><td>' . I_DATA2 . '</td><td>' . I_DATA3 .  '</td></tr></table>';
fwrite($f, $data);

[gangsterwanster1]

$data = '<table><tr><td>' . I_DATA . '</td><td>' . I_DATA2 . '</td><td>' . I_DATA3 .  '</td></tr></table>';
fwrite($f, $data);

Thanks.

 

//Is it possible to set the background color of the file i am writing to 'fwrite'?

Add a body tag and use some CSS?
