[SOLVED] Can anyone deduct a reason for this not playing ball?

[madspof]

I have this bit of code

$myFile = "$date.txt";
echo $myFile;
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $page);
fclose($fh);

and it will not write to the txt file and i cannot figure out why can anyone else see why ?

 

thanks b4 hand madspof x

[madspof]

oh year should of mentioned that been declared and i have put an echo before hand to make sure the variable are all set but the functions are just not writing to the txt file

Make sure the folder that the file is going into has write permissions.

You're going to have to show us where you have declared $page then.

"$date.txt"; - suposed to be a variable?
