writing to files

[gangwarfare.net]

im new to php, and im trying to make a few scripts for my site,

im tryin to write to a file

<?php
$information = "blah blah";
$handle = fopen('$username.php', 'w+');
fwrite($handle, $information);
?>

this script will run everytime someone fills in a form.
what i want to do, is each time a user submits the form, is to creat the file according to their username, then add some data, this includes varibles

for example if a user wi the name test filled in the form

i want to write on the file:
<?
$user=test
$email=test.... etc...
?>

how would i go about gettin this to happen?

So you know how to write to files already?

Well then all you should need to know is how to create them:

our you could use the fopen like this.

[code=php:0]
$filename = "path/to/file/$username.whatever";
$fp = fopen($filename, "x+b");
$somecontent = //your posted results
fwrite($fp, $somecontent);
fclose($fp);
[/code]

Hope this helps,

Oh yeah, i forgot that fwrite would create the file if it didn't exist.

I would think that is a better solution because you can write to it at the same time.
