php number code

[talor123]

hey, i need some help with my php code, when i use the fwrite code like

("$file", "a");

how to i make it so the variable file is numbered.. eg: the first "file" to be created will be called "1.html"  then the next to be created would be called "2.html".. so it numbers them    ...

 

so eventualy there would be say 20 files, there names would be  1.html,2.html,3.html and so on..

 

thanks for your help

You could use a loop

 

<?php

$somecontent = "Something";

for($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++) {

$name = "{$i}.html";
    
if (!$handle = fopen($name, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($name)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === false) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($name)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($name)";

    fclose($handle);
   
}

?>

 

Its not desirable to do this, but I assume your using fwrite because your in PHP4
