write to a file is not writting

mjsouleman

Thank youi in advance:

I am trying to write (append) to a file in a sub directory.
the file does exist.

1.
the code below does not return an error.

2.
My host has made sure I have write permission on the
directory.

Any ideas?

$outputstring = $date
."\t".$tireqty ." tires \t"
. $oilqty ." oil \t"
. $sparkqty ." spark plugs \t"
. " \$" . $total ."\t"
. $address."\n";

/********	open file for appending		********/

$fp = fopen("http://www.geodegroup.com/php/lesson2/orders/orders.txt", "a");

if (!$fp)
{
echo " Your order could not be processed at this time.";
exit;
}
Else
{
fwrite($fp, $outputstring);
fclose($fp);
echo "Order written.";
}
😕

So both your directory & file have 777?
What error message did you get?

barand

$fp = fopen("http://www.geodegroup.com/php/lesson2/orders/orders.txt", "a");

What happens if you drop the 'http:' from the path?

or, if your script is in /php, try

$fp = fopen("lesson2/orders/orders.txt", "a");
