kratsg Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Something's telling me it's your php.ini settings. You do have safe mode on meaning some accessibility is limited. Also, your quoting is wrong for this line: echo "<font face='verdana' size='2'><center>File $file created! Edit it <a href='writenew.php?file=" . $file . "'>Here</a>"; It should be: echo "<font face='verdana' size='2'><center>File $file created! Edit it <a href='writenew.php?file=$file'>Here</a>"; Since you already have echoed out in double quotes, variables don't need to be added on, ie. echo "Hello, my name is ".$var." and I am saying hello."; echo "Hello, my name is $var and I am saying hello."; echo "Hello, my name is '$var' and I am saying hello." All three will echo the variable correctly. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/73118-can-you-find-the-cause/#findComment-368757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
