Jessica Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The 2 doesn't show, or the file opening fails?You're missing a . in the second line.

ted_chou12 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 the 2 doesnt show, so instead of "newscomments/comments[2].txt" it opens "newscomments/comments[].txt"...

ted_chou12 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 what do you mean by a . , how do I add it in? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31730-solved-can-you-not-have-variable-in-the-filename/#findComment-147094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Look at what you wrote. The first one says .txt, the second says txt. Since you error does not reflect this typo, that means you didn't actually copy and paste your real code. Your mistake is probably there.Link?

Jessica Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 This is why you should actually post YOUR code, instead of retyping it.
