logging help

darknuke

anyone have a code to log variables into a text file?
if not can someone send me a code i can use, becuase i can never get the syntax right...

i use for different variables so could you use like $1 $2 $3 $4 for printing to the text file... id appreciate it

$f=fopen(file.txt,"w");
fputs($f,"$1\n$2\n$3\n$4");
fclose($f);

darknuke

doesnt work... i get a parse error!

am i inserting the code wrong? (im not using it in a function)

im using it here:

if ($username != "") {
} else {
die("No username was entered.");
}

if ($filename_name != "") {
copy("$filename", "uploads/$type/$username~$filename_name")

$f=fopen("uploadlog.log","w");
fputs($f,"The Script Works");
fclose($f);

or
die("An error occured and the file was not uploaded.");

Juggy_

you forget about last bracket

Juggy_

<?
if ($username != "") { 
} else { 
die("No username was entered."); 
} 
if ($filename_name != "") { 
copy("$filename", "uploads/$type/$username~$filename_name") 
$f=fopen("uploadlog.log","w"); 
fputs($f,"The Script Works"); 
fclose($f); 
or 
die("An error occured and the file was not uploaded.");
}
?>

I don't know will it work , or not, nut i think it must!

darknuke

my whole code:

$date = date("m.d.y g:i a T");

if ($username != "") {
} else {
die("No username was entered.");
}

if ($filename_name != "") {
copy("$filename", "uploads/$type/$username~$filename_name")
$f=fopen("uploadlog.log","w");
fputs($f,"it works");
fclose($f);
print "<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload</title>
<body bgcolor=black text=royalblue link=mediumblue vlink=mediumblue alink=mediumblue>

<table>
<tr>
<td>
Filename
</td>
<td>
$filename_name
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Size
</td>
<td>
$filename_size bytes
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Resource Type

<td>
$type
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<td>
$date
</td>
</tr>
</table>
 <center><a href=upload.html>Upload another file</a>.
</body>
</html>";

} else {
die("No file to upload was selected.");
}

or
die("An error occured and the file was not uploaded.");

yes the uploadlog.log does exist, its not a typo.... whats wrong with the script?

May you should show the full path to the upload.log, and don't forget to chmod 777 it.

darknuke

still no luck, ive chmodded it to 777 whats wrong!? PLEASE, I DESPARATELY NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT!!!

Three hints:

Put a ; behind the copy() function.
Break the code down into small parts for easy debugging.
Specify the error if you get one.
