Write File Not Working

[bahstudios]

<?php
//Basic variables
$currentpage = $_GET['page']; 
$today = date("l");
$hour = date("Gis");
$update = ($hour == "00000");
$File = "lastfriday.txt";
$fh = fopen($File, 'r');
$start = fread($fh, filesize($File));
fclose($fh);

// Determine day of the week and the day's variable
if($today == "Monday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 1);
  }
  elseif($today == "Tuesday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 2);
  }
  elseif($today == "Wednesday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 3);
  }
  elseif($today == "Thursday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 4);
  }
// Looks like it's time to update!
   elseif($today == "Friday" && $hour == $update)
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 5);
 $Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
 $Data = "$lastpage";
 fwrite($Handle, $Data);
 fclose($Handle);
  }
  elseif($today == "Friday")
  {
     $lastpage = $start;
  }
//Whoops! It's the weekend! No change in the data for two days!  
  elseif($today == "Sunday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start);
}
elseif($today == "Saturday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start);
  }
?>

 

All lastfriday.txt contains is a number - currently 615. What I want the code to do is take the number from lastfriday.txt and add a certain number to it each day, so that $lastpage is a new number for each weekday. That part works fine up to Thursday.

 

I run into trouble on Friday - what Friday's script is supposed to do is right at midnight, take $start + 5's total and use that number to overwrite the old data in lastfriday.txt, making it the NEW $start number so it can continue on next week. Every week should end with the number in lastfriday.txt being 5 more than it was the previous week.

 

lastfriday.txt is CMODed to 777, and I've tested it with other, separate data file writing codes to where it works - so I must be doing something wrong with this code, possibly in the way the time fires off on Friday?

I THINK I've gotten it fixed, but can someone confirm whether this will work or not?

 

Here's the new code:

 

<?php
//Basic variables
$currentpage = $_GET['page']; 
$today = date("l");
$hour = date("Gis");
$update = ($hour == "00000");
$File = "lastfriday.txt";
$start=file_get_contents($File);

// Determine day of the week and the day's variable
if($today == "Monday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 1);
  }
  elseif($today == "Tuesday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 2);
  }
  elseif($today == "Wednesday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 3);
  }
  elseif($today == "Thursday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 4);
  }
// Looks like it's time to update!
elseif($today == "Friday" && $hour == $update)
  {
     ($lastpage = $start + 5);
 $Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
   	 $Data = "$lastpage";
     fwrite($Handle, $Data);
 fclose($Handle);
  }
  elseif($today == "Friday")
  {
     $lastpage = $start;
  }
//Whoops! It's the weekend! No change in the data for two days!  
  elseif($today == "Sunday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start);
  }
  elseif($today == "Saturday")
  {
     ($lastpage = $start);
  }
echo $lastpage;
?>
