Help, how would i do this;

[Minimeallolla]

I'm trying to: when the submit button is hit, store data in a file (already created upon registration) and then show the files content. I have a few problems. The file im showing the content of cannot be found \= even though it was created using the same line as this..

 

 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
$firstname = ($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = ($_POST['lastname']);
include ("cookieusername.php");

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); 
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) 
$filename = "***/$username.info.php" or exit("Unable to open file!");
$handle = @fopen($filename, 'x+')or die(mysql_error()); 
$content = "lololo";
@fwrite($handle, $content)or die(mysql_error()); 
@fclose($filename);
}
include ("***/$username.info.php")or die(mysql_error()); 
?>

what is *** ?

[Minimeallolla]

its a hashed version of my directory for safety

[revraz]

So the file path is one folder below your script path?

[Minimeallolla]

("***/$username.info.php")  for example is my filepath/directory.. im pretty sure the filepath is correct.

[Minimeallolla]

ok ill just copy and paste the whole file but change the names of the directory for safety lol im paranoid ><

ok well you only really need the part i first posted but this is all incase it makes a difference.. i posted my goal in the first post..

 

 

and for the content, i wanted to make it eg. $firstname. but that didnt work so i changed it to lolo and that dindt work so ergh ><

<?php
include ("database.php");
include ("cookieusername.php");

?>
<title>

Not sure why you are using mysql_error after fopen and fwrite.

 

But remove the error suppression @ before fopen and fwrite so you can actually get an error report.

 

Also, you have a mysql_error after a include?

[Minimeallolla]

if i get rid of the @ infront of Fwrite or so, it comes up with function error.><

[revraz]

That is a good sign.. post the error?  Did you remove the mysql_errors after them?

[Minimeallolla]

Warning: fopen(/home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/profileinfo/moo.info.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: File exists in /home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/write.php on line 117 

 

ok i changed it to this:

 

 

	if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
$firstname = ($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = ($_POST['lastname']);
include ("cookieusername.php");

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); 
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) 
$filename = "/home/giacjrdi/public_html/mysite/profiles/profileinfo/$username.info.php" or exit("Unable to open file!");
$handle = fopen($filename, 'x+')or die(mysql_error()); 
$content = "lololo";
fwrite($handle, $content)or die(mysql_error()); 
fclose($filename);
}
?>

'x+' Create and open for reading and writing; otherwise it has the same behavior as 'x'. 

 

You can't create what already exists.

So that is all fixed up, repost your new code and ask your new question.
