[SOLVED] fwrite()

[The Little Guy]

Why isn't this writing to the file?

 

<?php
$vals = '../includes/values.php';
fopen($vals,"w");
$write = 'this is what will be in the file.';
if (is_writable($vals)) {
if(fwrite($vals, $write)){
	echo 'Saved!';
}else{
	echo 'Not Saved!';
}
}else{
echo 'Can\'t write to file';
}
?>

 

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/.marble/ryannaddy/iconnect.publicsize.com/vamp/testScripts/ShopingCart/process/install.php on line 76

 

if(fwrite($vals, $write)){

you have to chmod the file to allow write access to it I think...

I would declare $vals

to the actual directory.

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = /home/user/www

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/file.txt";

also, not how you use fopen. You need to assign the resource it creates to a variable in order to use it.

Example for what jesirose says;

 

$h = fopen($file, "w");

if(fwrite($h, $text))
{
echo('wrote');
}
else{
die('not wrote');
}

That was the exact problem, thanks.
