script wont let me save changes :(

step

Hi all,

For a flat-textfile that contains addresses for a mailinglist I've written a little script, so that I can view the list with e-mails and also edit/remove them from the file. For some reason my changes to the content don't always get saved.... (although there is no direct error that the script would give). Maybe someone can help me out here...

The script/page to view & edit the list/file :

<?php
$amount = exec("wc -l /home/3amp/brizis.list");
echo ereg_replace( " /home/3amp/brizis.list", " ", $amount);
?> subscribers on your list.<br>

<form name="edit" action="save.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="whichcontent" value="brizis.list">

<textarea name="artikelbody" cols="50" rows="10" wrap="soft"><?PHP
include "/home/3amp/brizis.list";
?></textarea><br><br>

<input type="reset" value="WISSEN"> <input type="submit" value="SAVE">
</form>

After clicking on the submit button, one gets forwarded to the file that actually saves the info...

<?PHP
$location = $whichcontent;
$output = stripslashes($artikelbody);
if($file=fopen("/home/3amp/$location", "r+")) {

fwrite($file, $output);

}
?>

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? :-/

Thanks,

Stepan

Make sure that you have access to write to the file. Actually it would be Apache that requires access to write to the file. Also use

error_reporting(E_ALL);

to make sure all error get printed out to the browser.

Would it make a difference if you changed the "r+" in the fopen line to "w" or "w+" ? Only if the file is to be overwritten though - which, I think, is what you want to do, isn't it?
