File help

I have this code

 

it is supposed to make a file with the random number and name inside it, but instead it makes a file with just the random number and the extention isn't there ".num"

<?php
$loca = $_POST['loca'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
if ( $loca == "" ) {
echo "Error - Contact emery.cairns@gmail.com or STOP HACKING";
die;
} else {
if ( $name == "" ) {
echo "Error - Contact emery.cairns@gmail.com or STOP HACKING";
die;
} else {
}
}
$rand = rand(100000, 999999);
$myFile = $rand + ".num";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("Error with regerstration - please contact emery.cairns@gmail.com or try again");
$stringData = $rand + "\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = $name + "\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
echo "Hello ";
echo $name ;
echo " ...  Your account number is ";
echo $rand;
$string = "\n\r Please write this number down, \n\r you may only get 1 from the webpage";
echo nl2br($string);
setcookie("dsc", $rand, time()+9999999999999999999);
?>

this???

 

$myFile = $rand . ".num";

[emery]

yea, that is the fle

[Labradoodle-360]

Is there a reason that you're using the file functions rather than just using file_put_contents?

[emery]

Nope , just the way I learned, you can teach me the other way if you wish

Ok, that worked, but now when it creates the file it puts an extra 0 at the end of the RAND number and it doesn't print $NAME on it

[litebearer]

the plus sign + is used for MATH.  the period . is used to join text together.

You are trying to use plus to join text

$stringData = $name + "\n";

ok, but why does it add another "0" to the end of my RaND number when its in the file, ECHO $RAND doesn't print the extra 0

where exactly in the text file? you use rand() several times to add data into the file. can you post the file contents.

[emery]

If the $RAND ='s 287685 the file ='s

 

2876850

 

When it is supposed to look something like this

 

287685
"Name"
