How do I save a file up one directory?

[ninevolt1]

I have a script which makes a file:

 

add article("article_$article_id.php");

 

How do I modify this so that I can save it up one directory? I've tried putting ../ in several places but it doesn't seem to be the trick.

We would need to see the source for said function.

 

You would generally have to add it to the fopen() call.

Thanks for the reply. Here is the add article code:

 

 

function add_article($filename, $news)

{

 

if(file_exists($filename)){

$fh = fopen($filename, "r");

$old_news = fread($fh, filesize($filename));

fclose($fh);

}

 

/* TODO: Multipage articles

preg_match_all("<!--ARTICLE PAGE=(\d*)-->", $old_news, $matches;

 

if( count($matches[0]) >= $max_summary){

$oldfilename = $filename.($matches[0][0]+1);

}

*/

 

$fh = fopen($filename, "w");

$news = stripslashes($news);

fwrite($fh, "$news $old_news");

fclose($fh);

}

Never mind. It is magically working. Case closed. Thanks!
