[SOLVED] fopen function will not open file...

[Twentyoneth]

I am trying to write a file that contains php in it...it worked fine when the forms action was itself, except that it would write the wrong data to the file, because I was using variables that were used elsewhere in the page. Needless to say, I moved the forms action to it's own personal page, and now it will not open the file to write to it, I am thinking it's because it is in a different directory than the form itself...

 

mcomponents.php (included in the index file via ?func=mcomponents.php)

<?php

echo "<td vAlign='top' align='center'>
<center>This form is to select which components you would like to appear on your page for others to see. For example, if you would not like for anyone other than yourself to view your age, simply choose no, and then submit.<br><br><b>Be sure to set all components!</b></center>

How do I get it to open the file?
