fputs

[pinehead18]

I have a page called email.php with the form and 2 inputs with the value $user and $pass.

it will write when i tell it to with "whatever" rather than $user, adn $pass, why does it not work like this.. Code at the bottom?
Thanks
Anthony

<?php
$fp=fopen("passwords.txt", "a");
fputs($fp, $user, $pass);
fclose($fp);

?>

$fp = fopen( 'myfile.txt', 'a' );
fputs( $fp, "$user|$pass\n" );
fclose( $fp );
 

fputs() takes a string as the second argument, a length as the third. So assuming $user = dave and $pass = 2, your script would write 2 bytes of "dave" i.e. "da" to the file. If $pass were not a number, you will get an error.
