Writing a string to a file.

[ryanfilard]

I have to create a script that writes a user's email to a .txt file. I am using the code below and it does not seem to be working.

<?PHP 
//Data to write
$newsletterinfo = $REQUEST['email'];
//Open the file directory
$fdir = fopen('newsletter.txt');
//Write user email
fwrite($fdir, $newsletterinfo);
//Close the connection
fclose($fdir);
?>

Ou forgot an underscore in your request array. Try

$newsletterinfo = $_REQUEST['email'];

Also, I prefer using file_put_contents()

I changed it but it still does not work. I am doing something wrong?

<?PHP 
//Data to write
$newsletterinfo = $_REQUEST['email'];
//Open the file directory
$fdir = fopen('newsletter.txt');
//Write The Data
fwrite($fdir, $newsletterinfo);
//Close the connection
fclose($fdir);
?>

Just noticed, in your fopen() function, you dud not specify a mode in which to open the file. Change it to.

$fdir = fopen('newsletter.txt','w');

When I add the data how do I make it so it does not do this:

 

email@email.comemail@email.comemail@email.comemail@email.comemail@email.comemail@email.com

 

I want it to do this:

 

email@email.com

email@email.com

email@email.com

fwrite($fdir, $newsletterinfo . "\n");
