[SOLVED] Saving Files

[AnotherQuestion]

I have an application that connects to a third party server to retrieve vehicle details. These are sent back in xml.

 

The form I have created includes one textbox. The user enters their registration no into the TxtReg box. When the form is posted is passes the registration no through to the next page as URL Var.

 

<?php

 

$data = file_get_contents("https://vrm.mamsoft.co.uk/vrmlookup/vrmlookup.asmx/Find?Username=foo&Password=bar&Vrm=$_GET['RegNo']");

 

$fp = fopen("../Vrmdata.xml", "r");

 

fwrite($fp, $data);

fclose($fp);

 

?>

I am getting no errors but the file is not saving.

What am i doing wrong?

Have you just tried to echo the data onto the form to make sure you are getting it?

it looks as though you are opening the file as read-only... look into the different modes to use with fopen here...

I have just change the file option to "w" and that doesnt work either

 

$data = file_get_contents("https://vrm.mamsoft.co.uk/vrmlookup/vrmlookup.asmx/Find?Username=JOE&Password=BLOGGS&Vrm=".$_GET['RegNo']); 
$fp = fopen("Vrmdata.xml", "w");
fwrite($fp, $data); 
fclose($fp);

("Vrmdata.xml", "w");

("Vrmdata.xml", 'w');
