[SOLVED] Write to Folder/File Doesn't Work, but Writing To File Works

[cursed]

<?php
include 'config.php';
$item = $_GET['web'];
$file = "/ips/$ip$magic.txt";
$Handle = fopen($file, 'a');
fwrite($Handle, "$item\n\r");
echo "Data Written, $ip";
fclose($Handle);
?>

 

So in this line:

file = "/ips/$ip$magic.txt";

If I take out /ips/ it works fine.

I have created the /ips/ folder and chmodded it to 777.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the newbie question.

Data Written, (my ip)

is your path correct? That / on the front of the path makes it look for the ips directory, starting in the root public directory.

 

public_html/ips/$ip$magic.txt

 

Is that where the file really is?

Aha, thank you, it works perfectly. Time to take over the world with this code...

 

Sorry again for the newb question.
