Storig form values to file

[ramyakumar]

Hello,

 

I am writing two php scripts one for form and other one to write the values of a form using php into a file and also print the values on the another html page. I dont know why it is not writing into the file but if I print the form values in the script, that is getting printed on the html page. The fopen should create the file but until I set the permissions manually it shows the error, " permission denied" on the html page. I even checked the path of the file. When I Execute the file, it directly goes to the else clause, "Cannot write to the file". Could anyone please help me with this quickly. I am using this code for writing to the file:

 

$filename="test.txt";
     
    if(is_writable($filename)){
    if(!$fp = fopen($filename,'a')){
    echo "cannot open file($filename)";
    exit;
    }
    if($fp!=null)
    {
   fwrite($fp,$name);
   fwrite($fp,$date);
   fwrite($fp,$platform);
   fwrite($fp,$browser);
   fwrite($fp,$comments);
   }
   fclose($fp);
   }
   else
   {
   echo "Cannot write to the file";
   }

 

Thanks

chmod

I tried chmod() but I could not succeed in setting the permissions or writing to the file.

well maybe if you were to post how you tried to use it, errors given, etc.. IOW something more than "it doesn't work", we might be able to actually help you.
