??NOBODY CAN FIGURE THIS OUT??

[cardio5643]

This code creates the file and writes 'test' to its contents

<?php
   $xmlFile = "../etc/someXMLfile.xml";
   $xmlHandle = fopen($xmlFile, "w");
   fwrite($xmlHandle, 'test');
   fclose($xmlHandle);
?>

This code will create the file but have NO contents. Its seems like as long as simplexml is involved the script is crashing.

<?php
   $xmlFile = "../etc/someXMLfile.xml";
   $xmlHandle = fopen($xmlFile, "w");
   $flashXML = simplexml_load_string('<root><number>1</number></root>');
   fwrite($xmlHandle, 'test');
   fclose($xmlHandle);
?>

 

ANY IDEAS?

Try turning error reporting on.

 

ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Browser, terminal, wherever you're running it from.  Make sure you place those lines directly after your opening <?php tag.

Maybe I am not doing this right. Those lines were added to my file, I went to my browser, clicked the button that calls the script, the html reloaded as it should, back to the same page, and thats it. I dont get an error in the browser, or the command line. Nothing...

 

What is going on??
