Problem with fwrite()

[Perfidus]

I'm not doing anything special, I have just copied the code from the php manual and substituted the 'a' in fwrite for 'w' all I'm trying to do is to write write to a xml file.

The problem is that I can  only write 3 characters, in this case: "Com"

$filename = 'myfolder/data.xml';
$somecontent = 'Come on write some stuff';	
if (is_writable($filename)) 
{	
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w'))
    {
	 echo "Problem opening file";
	 exit;
}
if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) 
    {
	echo "Problem writing to file";
	exit;
}	
echo "The file have been written";	
fclose($handle);	
    } 
else 
{
	echo "Impossible to read the file";
}

there should be no problem with your code..

But it is writing only 3 chars!!

What should it be?

Somethin with the encoding (it is a utf8 file)?

The chmod at the directory?

Just tested the code as is, it worked just fine.

 

Try adding the length to the fwrite and set it to 1048 and maybe that will help. If it does, there is probably a setting on your server somewhere that was causing the issue.
