[SOLVED] Log $_POST

[newbtophp]

How would i log submits on a form, by everyone? I want to then echo the number of submissions.

 

I've tried this:

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $submit);
fclose($fh);

}


?>

 

But unsure of what to do next...

If your going to do a counter file, I would do

 

$myFile="testFile.txt";

$count=file_get_contents($myFile);

if ($fh=fopen($myFile, 'w')) {

if (fwrite($fh, $count++)) {

  echo $count;

}

fclose($fh);

}

teynon i tried your code and its not working:

 

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<input name="file" type="file" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

<?php

if (isset($_FILES['file'])) {
$file = file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if($file == "") echo "Error!";
else {

$myFile="count.txt";
$count=file_get_contents($myFile);
if ($fh=fopen($myFile, 'w')) {
if (fwrite($fh, $count++)) {
   echo $count;
}
fclose($fh);
}

}
}
?>

 

 

Everytime i click submit its meant to increase the count number by 1, buts currentlys its not doing anything  :-\

$myFile="testFile.txt";

$count=file_get_contents($myFile);

if ($fh=fopen($myFile, 'w')) {

if (fwrite($fh, $count++)) {

  echo $count;

}

else { die("Failed to write to {$myFile}"); }

fclose($fh);

}

else { die("Failed to open {$myFile}"); }

I have the file correctly placed and chmodded 777, still no counts are logged to testFile.txt

I'm not sure if this is the problem but try changing

 

$count=file_get_contents($myFile);

 

to

 

$count=(int)file_get_contents($myFile);

When you run the script with the code I just added, does it die and give you one of those messages?

<?php
$count_my_page = ("hitcounter.txt");
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits[0] ++;
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");
fclose($fp);
echo $hits[0];
?>

 

It works, it's what I use.

Oops, change $count++ to ++$count. Putting ++ after the variable will send that variable and then increase it. Putting it before will increase it then put it.
