to write something to a file use these

$open_file=fopen("filename.txt","a");
fputs($open_file, "$REMOTE_ADDR \n");
fclose($open_file);

i copied an pasted your code into a blank page 'n tested 'n i got these errors:

Warning: fopen("filename.txt", "a") - Permission denied in /home/3829253339/www/web/ipcatch.php on line 13

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/3829253339/www/web/ipcatch.php on line 14

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/3829253339/www/web/ipcatch.php on line 15

ne 1 kno wuz goin on??

make sure that you have the file with other access
try it with chmod 666

and think about the path....:rolleyes:

I'm getting exactly the same errors. And I've changed my chmod to 777.

Does this also cause the error:?
Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid....

hey guyz!!! i figured it out, and yes rfigley, when u change the permissions it gives that error. for your code you have to put

<?php
$filename="iplog.txt";
$fp=fopen($filename,'w');
fwrite($fp, "$REMOTE_ADDR\n\r");
fclose($fp);

print("$REMOTE_ADDR");
?>

and pay attention to the last parameter of the Fopen(). it is a "W", which means write, i did that and it worked. But one problem is that each time a new visitor comes to my site, the iplog.txt file is updated, but it overwrites the address that wuz there, so i only get a single ip number, not a list, ne ideas?

Try the following...

$fp=fopen($filename,'a+');

This will open the file for read only and place the pointer at the end of the file so anything you write to it will be appended.

OK I've got this working and it creates the page and puts it to the hard drive. Here's beginning of the code:

<?



$fp = fopen("$members_link", "w");
fputs($fp, "<HTML><HEAD>");
fputs($fp, "<TITLE>npi_main_1</TITLE>");
fputs($fp, "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Content-Type CONTENT=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1> ");
fputs($fp, "<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=npi.css>");
fputs($fp, "</HEAD>");
fputs($fp, "<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF topmargin=0 leftmargin=0>");......

The problem is at this point is, in the static page I made for this has (includes) which display data from the database, but the includes don't seem to be picking up the variables:

fputs($fp, "<? include('incl_chapter_members.php') ?>");


<?


include('dbconnect.php');
include('font_setting.htm');


$chapter = ($members_link);
Echo "Chapter = " . ($chapter);
Echo "Chapter_name = " . ($chapter_name);
$query = ("select * from tbl_members where chapter='$chapter_name'");

$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query fail");

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{

} else
{

  echo "<CENTER>";

  echo "<table border=1>";

  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
        echo "<tr><td> " . "&nbsp" .  $row['name'] . "&nbsp" . "</td><td> " . "&nbsp" . $row['category'] ."&nbsp" . "</td><td> " . "&nbsp" . $row['phone'] . "&nbsp" . "</td></tr>";

    echo "</font>";

}
echo "</table>";
 }

?>
