[TheJoey]

i have a question.

i have stored all my information for a user via FWRITE

is there a way to retrive this information when needed.

[McAwesome]

check out fgets(), and fopen()

i had a read of them, but cant find a way to use them both together. I might be able to write to single scripts

i have had a read, i just dont c how i can implement my code with fwrite to allow for a login.

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

if (isset($_POST['email'] ,
	 $_POST['fname'] ,
	 $_POST['lname'] ,
	 $_POST['age'] ,
	 $_POST['address'] ,
	 $_POST['city']))
{
    // some form of email validation
    $email = ($_POST['email']);
$fname = ($_POST['fname']);
$lname = ($_POST['lname']);
$age   = ($_POST['age']);
$address = ($_POST['address']);
$city  = ($_POST['city']);

$user_info = $email . "||" . $fname . "||" . $lname . "||" . $age . "||" . $address . "||" . $city;

    // write-to file
    $filename = 'text.txt';

    // attempt to open the file
    if ($handle = fopen($filename, 'a'))
    {
        // attempt to write to the file

        if (!fwrite	($handle, $user_info))

        {
            echo 'Cannot write to file';
        }
        else
        {
            echo 'Written to file';
        }
    }

    fclose($handle);
}
   
?>

Why are you using a text file to store login information, wouldn't it be best to use a database instead??

[TheJoey]

correct its just something i want to try do.

Is it possible?

First look at this web page here, I was wanting to do the same thing and I was able to. http://www.xentrik.net/php/flatfile.php

 

I wrote functions to read/write the page, it very successfully appends and reads the users as arrays, with any extra data as needed.

[TheJoey]

well my code is pretty similar to that just have to add explode functions and a few others.

Once i serperate the info how i create a login?

[TheJoey]

	$user_info = $email . "||" . $fname . "||" . $lname . "||" . $age . "||" . $address . "||" . $city . "\n" ;

i want to print it on a seperate line but it doesnt seem to do it
