arrays to files

[Anon]

im kinda new to php, and was messing around with trying to write the contents of an array to a file. ive read a few different documentations of this, yet erverything i try either comes up with a blank space in the text file, or it prints the word array. any suggestions?

thanks

this is what i had
<?

$username[]=$user_name;
$password[]=$pass_word;

$file="data.txt";
$fopen=fopen ($file, "a");
fwrite ($fopen, "$username\t$password\n");
fclose ($fopen);

?>

fwrite ($fopen, \"$username\t$password\n\");

fclose ($fopen);

you have to call string context of that array - in this case i recommend just calling proper element: $username[0] and $password[0]. so:

fwrite ($fopen, \"$username\t$password\n\");
u should change into
fwrite ($fopen, \"$username[0]\t$password[0]\n\");

if one of the arrays had more then on element you have to join the elemnts. to do so use the join() function - example:
$filecontent = join ( \"::\", $usernames);
and then
fwrite($pointer, $filecontent);
