How to print a white space to a text file?

[paymentstv]

Hello, I have the following code writting IP,session, and date to a text file (it works) but I want to add a white space after the IP address.

fwrite($fp, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].  $_SESSION["sess_name"].  " $dateTime\r\n");

 

At the moment it prints like this

16.17.51.41SESSION_ID 2011/01/23 12:53:32

 

thanks in advance.

fwrite($fp, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].  $_SESSION["sess_name"]. ' '. " $dateTime\r\n"); maybe

Or, rather than startng/exiting quoted strings multiple times:

fwrite($fp, "{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}{$_SESSION["sess_name"]} {$dateTime}\r\n");

I have tried both methods but still get the out put like this

 

16.17.51.41SESSION 2011/01/23 12:53:32

There is no space between ip and session.

Thanks for both for trying to help.

ok my bad,

 

this actually worked.

fwrite($fp, "{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}{$_SESSION["sess_name"]} {$dateTime}\r\n");

 

just had to add a space between {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']} and {$_SESSION["sess_name"]}

Also i currently have

 

$fp = fopen('ip.txt', 'a');

where ip.txt is hosted in the same folder of server

What if i want to write to a file hosted in a different server ? http://domain.com/folder/ip.txt..etc

would

$fp = fopen('http://domain.com/folder/ip.txt', 'a');

work? tried but not writing with chmod 777

 

 

1. What would be the file permission of ip.txt?

2. Should I give same permission to the folder where ip.txt is?

You cannot write to a file using the http protocol.

 

The php.net fopen documentation page contains a link to a List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers that shows what you can and cannot do for each possible protocol.

Think about the security risks of what you are asking if it were that simple to allow someone to edit files on a remote server. A couple of options are you could create a process on the external server to accept requests to update that file or you could programatically download the file via FTP, modify it, then re-upload it via FTP again.
