[SOLVED] Post data from PHP to .txt file...

[Huijari]

Hello can someone tell what is wrong with my code, it should make $player , $highscore in highscore.txt file...

 

<?php
//high score file name
$scorefile='highscore.txt';
// number used same as in encryptor.swf
$n1=1987;
$n2=7;
$n3=15;
$n4=3;
//
$validation=$_POST['validation'];
$highscore=$_POST['highscore'];
$player=$_POST['player'];
// encrypt the score the same way as in encryptor.swf
$val=round(($highscore*$n4-$n3)/$n2+$n1);
$output .= $scorelist[$i]['player'] . ',' . $scorelist[$i]['score'] . "\n";

// check whether the validation value is correct or not
if($validation==$val){
        echo '&valid=1&';
}else{
        echo '&valid=0&'; 
return;
}

// if the validation value is correct, fetch the score list and insert it

$fh=fopen($scorefile, 'w');
fwrite($fh,"$player,$highscore\n");
fclose($fh);

}else{
echo '&valid=0&';	
}
?>

what exactly happens when you run this? is the .txt file not overwritten? does the file become empty? does the file not even open?

There happens nothing to the highscore.txt file. I don't know does it open.. how could I?

 

Please help, and tell if you see anything wrong in my code...

did you try openeing in append mode?

 

$fh=fopen($scorefile,'a');

 

does the file exist?  after you execute the script you should be able to see the highscores.txt file in the same directory that the script is called from.

Woohoo! I fixed it myself!

 

That php file didn't work, and problem was not in php...

 

Thank you guys,
