Php Need Help

Hello

I'm having a problem with my php script. It's about writing lines to a text file. The script runs normally without any errors, but it leaves the text file empty, no matter how many times I run it. I'm using WAMP server.

Here's the code:

<?php //kratke varijable

$tireqty=$_POST['tireqty'];

$oilqty=$_POST['oilqty'];

$sparkqty=$_POST['sparkqty'];

$adress=$_POST['adress'];

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$date = date('H:i, jS F Y');

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Bob's Auto parts - Order results</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1>

<h2> Order Results</h2>

<?php

echo "Order processed at ".date ('H:i, jS F Y')."";

echo "Your order is as follows: ";

$totalqty=0;

$totalqty=$tireqty+$sparkqty+$oilqty;

echo "Item ordered: ".$totalqty." ";

if ($totalqty == 0) {

echo "You didn't order anyting from previous page! ";

} else {

if($tireqty>0)

echo $tireqty." tires ";

if($oilqty>0)

echo $oilqty." oil ";

if($sparkqty>0)

echo $sparkqty." sparks ";

}

$totalamount=0.00;

define('TIREPRICE', 100);

define('OILPRICE', 10);

define('SPARKPRICE', 4);

$totalamount = $tireqty * TIREPRICE

+ $oilqty * OILPRICE

+ $sparkqty * SPARKPRICE;

echo 'Subtotal: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).' ';

$taxrate = 0.20; // local sales tax is 20%

$totalamount = $totalamount * (1 + $taxrate);

echo 'Total including tax: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).' ';

echo 'Adress to ship to is '.$adress.'';

$outputstring = $date."\t".$tireqty." tires \t".$oilqty." oil\t"

.$sparkqty." spark plugs\t\$".$totalamount

."\t". $adress."\n";

//open file for appending

@ $fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt", 'ab');

if(!$fp) {

echo " Your order could not be processed at this time.

Please try again later. </body></html>";

exit;

}

flock($fp, LOCK_EX);

echo fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring));

flock($fp, LOCK_UN);

fclose($fp);

echo "Order written.";

?>

</body>

</html>

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try to replace this part:

$outputstring = $date."\t".$tireqty." tires \t".$oilqty." oil\t"
.$sparkqty." spark plugs\t\$".$totalamount
."\t". $adress."\n";
//open file for appending
@ $fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt", 'ab');

if(!$fp) {
echo  "<p><strong> Your order could not be processed at this time.<br>
Please try again later. </strong></p></body></html>";
exit;
}
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
echo fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring));
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);

echo "<p>Order written.</p>";

With this:

$outputstring = "{$date}\t{$tireqty} tires\t{$oilqty} oil\t".
    "{$sparkqty} spark plugs\t\${$totalamount}\t{$adress}\n";

//File to write order to.
$file = $DOCUMENT_ROOT."/../orders/orders.txt";

// Append order info to orders file, adding an exclusive lock while writing.
if(!$file_put_contents ($file, $outputstring, FILE_APPEND|LOCK_EX) {
   echo  "<p><strong> Your order could not be processed at this time.<br>
   Please try again later. </strong></p></body></html>";
   exit;
}

echo "<p>Order written.</p>";

Also, make sure you have error reporting turned on, and that you're reporting all errors (to screen).

PS: Please use the [code][/code] tags around your code, as it helps make both your post and your code a lot easier to read.

Sorry about the code tag. First time posting. I replaced the code with the one you gave me. You forgot to close ) in if statement and it gave me an error, but I fixed it. :happy-04: Now it gives me this error:" Notice: Undefined variable: file_put_contents in C...." This is the line:

if(!$file_put_contents ($file, $outputstring, FILE_APPEND|LOCK_EX) {

$file_put_contents <--- Do you see why that's being interpreted as a variable?

TRaWolTa89 · December 24, 2012

Silly me :happy-04: !! It works now. Thanks for all your help

Ah, sorry about those errors, was in a bit of a hurry.

Glad you got it sorted out though.
