TRaWolTa89 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 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> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Bob's Auto parts - Order results</title> </head> <body> <h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1> <h2> Order Results</h2> <?php echo "<p>Order processed at ".date ('H:i, jS F Y')."</p>"; echo "<p>Your order is as follows: </p>"; $totalqty=0; $totalqty=$tireqty+$sparkqty+$oilqty; echo "Item ordered: ".$totalqty."<br />"; if ($totalqty == 0) { echo "You didn't order anyting from previous page!<br />"; } else { if($tireqty>0) echo $tireqty." tires<br />"; if($oilqty>0) echo $oilqty." oil<br />"; if($sparkqty>0) echo $sparkqty." sparks<br / >"; } $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).'<br />'; $taxrate = 0.20; // local sales tax is 20% $totalamount = $totalamount * (1 + $taxrate); echo 'Total including tax: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).'<br />'; echo '<p>Adress to ship to is '.$adress.'</p>'; $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>"; ?> </body> </html> Thanks in advance for any help.

Christian F. Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 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.

TRaWolTa89 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 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. 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) { Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272331-php-need-help/#findComment-1401155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 $file_put_contents <--- Do you see why that's being interpreted as a variable? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272331-php-need-help/#findComment-1401157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
