Form -> Config.php

[Cell0518]

Can a PHP form write information to a config.php file, or is there a special extension?

Thanks,
Chris

Yes php can write/create and delete files on the server. You'll want to look at the following functions if you want to write something to file:
- [a href=\"http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php\" target=\"_blank\"]fopen[/a] - open a file
- [a href=\"http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php\" target=\"_blank\"]fread[/a] - read contents of a file
- [a href=\"http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php\" target=\"_blank\"]fwrite[/a] - write contents to file

For a quick example of how to write data to a file check out the example for fwrite function (linked above)

In order for these functions to function well make sure the file(s) have the correct CHMOD permissions (you can set these in an FTP client).

Thanks for the quick reply. I know that's probably an "over asked" question, but I just couldn't seem to locate an answer. I guess I wasn't generalizing enough. (is that spelled right?

Thanks again,
Chris
