it just doesn't work

[Atari]

I wrote this script but it doesn't work. Probably it's something stupid, but I'm breaking my head and I can't seem to find what's wrong. Could anyone please help?

Greetz,

Tim

<?php
$number = $number1."-".$number2."-".$number3;

if($number == 100-000-000)
{
$won = "ja";
}
else
{
$won = "nee";
}

if($checkboxlijst==1)
{
$lijst = "wel";
}
else
{
$lijst = "niet";
}

if ($number == 100-000-000)
{
if ($submit == 2)
{
header ("Location: nowin.php?voornaam=$voornaam");
$fp = fopen("file.txt","a");
if($fp)
{
<br>
$stringtowrite="\n".$naam."|".$voornaam."|".$email."|".$straat."|".$huisnummer."|".$bus."|".$gemeente."|".$postcode."|".$lijst."|".$number."|".$won;
fwrite($fp, $stringtowrite);
fclose($fp);

}
else
{
print "error! The file could not be opened";
exit;
}
}
else
{
header ("Location: win.php?naam=$naam&voornaam=$voornaam&email=$email&straat=$straat&huisnummer=$huisnummer&bus=$bus&gemeente=$gemeente&postcode=$postcode")
}

}
else
{
header ("Location: nowin.php?voornaam=$voornaam");
$fp = fopen("file.txt","a");
if($fp)
{
$stringtowrite="\n".$naam."|".$voornaam."|".$email."|".$straat."|".$huisnummer."|".$bus."|".$gemeente."|".$postcode."|".$lijst."|".$number."|".$won;
fwrite($fp, $stringtowrite);
fclose($fp);
}

else 
{ 
	print "error! The file could not be opened"; 
	exit; 
} 

}

?>

Next time when you post your script, please tell us what you want it to do, what it is doing instead and what error messages it gives.

One thing that I notice being wrong in your script, is that you should treat $number as a string and compare it as follows:
if($number == "100-000-000")
stead of
if($number == 100-000-000)

thanx, I'll try that.
the script is used to write to a text file. First the form is submitted and the script looks if $number is correct. If it is, another form is displayed(win.php) wich again displays the same form and asks you to verify the information. if this one is submitted(hidden value $submit=2) the information is stored in the text-file. If in the beginning $number was wrong the inforamtion is automaticly stored.

The problem is that it doesn't report ANY messages. That's the problem maybe but I got this problem always.

Thanx and Geetz, Tim

What usually helps me locating the problem, is putting in debug messages between every few lines, to see how far the script gets.
These messages could echo the values of variables to the browser or even just simple messages like echo("yo")

good idea
I'll try that.
Thanx
