what is the correct path file in linux

aa2000

i'm using the the code below
<?
$fp = fopen("c:\dir\text1.txt", "wb");

$writefile = fputs($fp, "text here");

in windows it works fine even if i remove the full path and use.
$fp = fopen("text1.txt", "wb");

what if the file is located in linux,mysql
this --> $fp = fopen("text1.txt", "wb");
will not work what is the correct path
to write to that text file

There's no drive specification and forward slashes are used. For example, the path corresponding to your example is

/dir/text1.txt

as long as i wrote the correct path
why it refuse to write to that txt file
although it did in windows...🙁

while debugging...
the problem is with writing to txt file
not opening it (for sure)

i want to say that the txt file is upload to
remote linux site with all necessary file
to same dir as the local system
so why it refuse to write to that text file

<?
$fp = fopen("/text1.txt", "wb");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($rs)) {
$writefile = fwrite($fp, "$row["column1"]."|".$row["column2"]."\n"");
}
mysql_free_result ($rs);
?>

You're nowhere saying where the remote site is.

I'd recommend using an ftp connection for this (see the documentation for fopen() on how to use it for such a task).

Linux has security: the web server has to have permission to write to that directory. If the web server is listed as the owner, that will work, or use chmod to make it world-writable.
