handle error with fwrite()

[IrOnMaSk]

hey guys, So I want to throw an error if something goes wrong with fwrite function and send it to my email. Problem is that it will send me email when something goes wrong with the function and also it will send email when there's nothing to write to file. all I want is to send me email only when fwrite() is not working not when there's nothing to write to file....

here's my email function

          function error_checking($to, $message)//checking error
          {
$subject = "Error Checking";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";	
$headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
                mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
           }

here's my write to file code

<?php
        ob_start();//start writing content
         //content is empty nothing to write

        $date = date("m/d/y");
        $time = date("h:i:s");				
        $page = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_flush();
        $fp = fopen("content.html", "w");
         fwrite($fp, $page);
         if(!fwrite($fp, $page))
         {					
error_checking([email protected], 'cannot write to file. please check hompepage.php for more info');
          }else{
               fclose($fp);
          }
?>

thanks in advance

this:

fwrite($fp, $page);
         if(!fwrite($fp, $page))

will make fwrite execute twice.

 

you might want to include something like:

 

if($fp != '') // send email;

or combine both:

 

if( !fwrite($fp, $page) && $fp != '' ) // send email
