fopen() Access denied.

[damdempsel]

I am trying to create a file when someone registers on my site. The only way I can find how to do this is using the fopen() code. When I run it I get an access denied error. I talked with my host and they allow use of it. They also allow chmod() so I switched it to 777 just to see. It still wouldn't work. Here is the code I used:

 

<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" value="Username">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
$username = strtolower($_POST['username']);
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
$newpage = "/users/".$username.".html";
if ($submit)
{
  if (ctype_alnum($username))
  {
fopen($newpage, "w");
fwrite($newpage, $username);

header("location: ".$newpage);
  } else 
    {
      echo "Please do not use symbols in your username.";
    }
}

?>

(Parts of the code were taken out to make it shorter.)

Is there something wrong with this code? Is there another way to make a file when someone registers?

Basically change this:

/users/

 

to this:

./users/

 

A forward slash on its own basically means start from the root of the drive. Use a dot before it to state the current directory.

Wow. Now I feel kind of stupid. It works fine now. Thanks.
