[SOLVED] file writting problem

[thewooleymammoth]

trying to just write files but its not working

 

<?php
$GT=$_POST['GT'];
$GI=$_POST['GI'];
$GD=$_POST['GD'];
$link=$_POST['link'];
$overall=$_POST['overall'];
$GP=$_POST['Gameplay'];
$graphics=$_POST['Graphics'];
$controls=$_POST['Controls'];
$RV=$_POST['RV'];
$dif=$_POST['Difficulty'];

$gamelist="games/list.txt";
$file=fopen($gamelist, "a");
if(fwrite($file, "$GT||"))
{
echo "game has been added to the list";
}
else
{
echo "error 1";
}
fclose($file);
$game="games/$GT.txt";
$file=fopen($game, "w");

if(fwrite($file, "$GT||$GI||$GD||$link||$overall||$GP||$graphics||$controls||$RV||$dif||"))
{
echo "<br> Game info has been written";
}
else
{
echo "error 2";
}
fclose($file);
?>

 

create the list file but instead of "||" it has the game title then "||||" and there is a third file with no name that just accumulates "||" with every entry. im stumped also can you guys suggest a good file editor for php files?

alright so the problem is wierder

 

<?php
include('top.html');
$GT=$_POST['GT'];
$GI=$_POST['GI'];
$GD=$_POST['GD'];
$link=$_POST['link'];
$overall=$_POST['overall'];
$GP=$_POST['Gameplay'];
$graphics=$_POST['Graphics'];
$controls=$_POST['Controls'];
$RV=$_POST['RV'];
$dif=$_POST['Difficulty'];

$gamelist="games/list.txt";
$file=fopen($gamelist, "a");
if(fwrite($file, "$GT"."|"))
{
echo "game has been added to the list";
}
else
{
echo "error 1";
}
fclose($file);
$game="games/$GT.txt";
$file=fopen($game, "w");

if(fwrite($file, "$GT|$GI|$GD|$link|$overall|$GP|$graphics|$controls|$RV|$dif"))
{
echo "<br> Game info has been written";
}
else
{
echo "error 2";
}
fclose($file);
echo "<br>$GT";
include('bottom.html');
?>

 

creates the files, but it adds an addition "|" with it.... and creates an extra file with no name ".txt" that has "|||||||||" after five entrys...

 

im also trying to do the amazon affiliate program and cant figure out how to display one of the links it provides from the file
