First off, you are missing your semi-colons ( after each line except one. I'm not all that familiar with file writing in PHP, so I can't help you with the rest.

 

<?php 
function writetofile()
{
$file=fopen("posts.php","are+");
$title = $_GET["title"];
$text = $_GET["text"];
$writte = "<h2>$title</h2> <br /> $text";
fwrite ($file,$writte); //I think you were meaning to put the '$' at the beginning of the "file"...
}
?>

The problem was that i never called the function (i had this error twice in one day!)

 

Now another error came to notice

 

Warning: fopen(posts.php): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /home/www/nenadspp.freehostia.com/php/admin/writetofile.php on line 4

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/www/nenadspp.freehostia.com/php/admin/writetofile.php on line 8

 

I'm stumped

[code]$file=fopen("posts.php","are+");

 

WFT is "are+"?

 

change it to:

 

[cdoe]$file=fopen("posts.php","a+");[/code]

[nesiak]

that is a typo , i opened the file for read/write (r+)

[pocobueno1388]

Did changing that fix the problem?

 

Make sure the files permission that you are trying to write to is set to "777".

[nesiak]

no.... that doesn't work neither

If you want to write to the beginning, shouldn't you be using 'w+' or 'x+'?

'w+' Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

'x+' Create and open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. If the file already exists, the fopen() call will fail by returning FALSE and generating an error of level E_WARNING. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. This is equivalent to specifying O_EXCL|O_CREAT flags for the underlying open(2) system call. This option is supported in PHP 4.3.2 and later, and only works for local files.

No R+ is read/write, w+ would delete the contents of the file before writing to it , i need to preserve the file contents that's why i'm using r+

 

Fixed the problem, i was trying to write to a url and that is not possible !

<?php 
function writetofile()
{
chmod("posts.php",766);
$file=fopen("posts.php","w+");
$title = $_GET["title"];
$text = $_GET["text"];
$writte = "<h2>$title</h2> <br /> $text";
fwrite ($file,$writte); //I think you were meaning to put the '$' at the beginning of the "file"...
}
?>
