fwrite...

[Anon]

hey! Iv'e made a login and for every unsuccessful login attempt, Iv'e had it write to a file (login.log) with information (time, date etc).

It's writes to the file no problem... but when another unsuccessful login attempt occurs, it erases the previous unsuccessful login attempt from the file, and writes the new unsuccessful login attempt.

Does anyone know how I can make it so that all previous login attempts are kept in the file at all times?

Here's the bit of the code im using so far...

$time = time();
$date = strftime("%H:%M, %A, %d %B", $time);
$file = "login.log";
$fp = fopen($file, "w");

$fw = fwrite($fp, "[Access Denied] - Using Account [$username] - At Time & Date: $date\n");

fclose($fp);

Hope somebody can help.

Regards, Stezz.

ya, use the fseek() command to plot your location using the file legth.

Read up in the docs section under filesystem.fseek

To keep the previous entry, simply add "a" as a second parameter of the fopen() function instead of the "w". This tells the PHP to open the file for appending rather than writing (and over-writing). ex:

$fp = fopen($fp, "a");

Refer to the PHP documentation for additional modes files can be open in (ex. w+, r, ect.)
