GET and use in fopen

[ameriblog]

I have this code:

 

$file= fopen('wvhs_gm.txt' , 'w');

 

What I'd like to do is actually open the file based on the year in the address, so if the page is index.php?year=2007 it should open and write to the file 2007wvhs_gm.txt

 

Thanks for any help.

<?php

if (isset($_GET['year'])){ 
   $year = $_GET['year'];
   $open = $year.'wvhs_gm.txt';
} else {
   $open = "wvhs_gm.txt";
}

$file= fopen($open , 'w');

?>

 

Give that a try.

im not an expert but look around implode-explode where the first parameter is '='. so what i mean is that you put an implode on the url and implode makes out two part of the url, on before the '=' and one after (and this is gonna be the year.) make it a var like $year or anything.

than make another var like $filename that is build up from $year + 'wvhs_gm.txt'. then comes the last var like $fileopen where you open the file like fopen ($filename, 'w')

hope you get it, here's a manual for implode: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/php-string-implode.php

Stick with $_GET['year'], it is the correct method.

<?php
if (is_numeric($_GET['year']) && file_exists(intval($_GET['year']).'wvhs_gm.txt')){ 
   $open = intval($year).'wvhs_gm.txt';
} else {
   $open = "wvhs_gm.txt";
}

$file= fopen($open , 'w');

?>
