starvator Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 My submission form: <form name="verification" action="verification1.php" method="post"> Code 1: <input type="text" name="code1" /><br> Code 2: <input type="text" name="code2" /><br> <input type="checkbox" name="agree" value="yes" /> I agree to the terms<br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> verification1.php: <? if($_POST['code1'] == "chicken" && $_POST['code2'] == "dog") $content = $session->login($_POST['user']; $file = "textfile.txt"; $Saved_File = fopen($file, 'w'); fwrite($file, $content); fclose($file); ?> What I am trying to do is make a submission form where the person has to enter chicken in box one and dog in box 2. If not, then the form will not submit their username to the text file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 The first parameter in the fwrite and fclose functions is a file pointer, not a file name, use <?php $file = "textfile.txt"; $Saved_File = fopen($file, 'w'); fwrite($Saved_File, $content); fclose($Saved_File); ?> Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 The first error says "Permission denied" which means the process running the script does not have permission the write the file where you want to put it. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 fopen needs a filename for the first parameter, you've given it an undefined variable. The error messages that are displayed usually tell you whats wrong. Use <?php $filename = "textfile.txt"; $f = fopen($filename, 'a+'); # Check: http://php.net/fopen ?>p You had this correct in the earlier code. Why did you change it?

I know i need to change the file permission but how can i do that and make it not writable or readable by everyone on the planet? I want to make it secure...

kenrbnsn Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Put the file outside the webroot and give it the appropriate permissions. That way your script can get to it, but no one else can via the web. Or use a database to record everything. Much more secure. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbones Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Try changing the file permission to 0600 This give the file owner read and write, and everyone else nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
