Isn't liking the:

				$postFile = fopen ("$root/data/forum{$f}.txt", "r+");

line...

But it does post $f, so it's something wrong with this script... >_<

[jkeppens]

does it work if you do :

$postFile = fopen ($root."/data/forum".$f.".txt", "r+");

[xwin]

Nope, still

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/virtual/site18/fst/var/www/html/forums/process/newtopic.php on line 19

[cschotch]

correct me if i am wrong but isnt the $root withheld for global variables. What I mean is doesnt $root always go to the root as listed in the php.ini file.........so even if you use it as a variable doesnt the global variable affect this......

Forgive me if i am wrong but i just started this 2 months ago.....

Your problem must be with the include() and the output buffering at the begining. If you include() a text file the php interpreter will choke on it if it's just a text file without php code. If you turn on output buffering before doing do so it wont display any parse errors when including the file because your buffering STDOUT, which also buffs the parse errors. Therefore, $root does NOT contain what you think it does.

Try reading the file into your script with a combo of fopen() and fgets() or something.

[xwin]

mm. But it works on my reply processor, which only opens one file. :-/

[128kb_com]

The include you have isn't the propper way to get text file input anyway.... Maybe I'm incorrect, sounds logical though..

Try echo'ing the value of $root right after the ob_end_clean(); and see whats in it.

[DigitalExpl0it]

shouldnt it be

include("../root.txt");

???

for the directory back

or maybe copy root.txt in the same folder and try it

include("root.txt");

[xwin]

No, it's in the same directory.

[xwin]

Doing this:

<?php
ob_start();
include("./root.txt");
$root = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if ($userid)
	{
		if(isset($_POST["newtopic"]))
	 		{
				$f = $_POST["fid"];
				$post = $_POST["reply"];
				$topicname = $_POST["tname"];
				$description = $_POST["tdesc"];
				$replyFile = fopen ("$root/data/forum{$f}.txt" "r");
				foreach($replyFile as $reply)  {  

     				$replyparts = explode ("|", $reply); 
     				$tid = trim($replyparts[0]);
				$tid = $tid + 1
				fclose($replyFile);
				$postFile = fopen ("../data/forum".$f.".txt", "r+");
				fwrite($postFile, "\n$tid|$topicname|$description|$post|$id|0|0|-
				");
				fclose($postFile);
				header("Location: [url]http://[/url]".$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST']."/forums/index.php?act=rtopic&f={$f}&id={$tid}");
			}
	}
elseif ($userid == "NULL")
	{
		echo "<div align='center'>";
		echo "<table border='1' cellspacing='0' width='158' height='36'>";
		echo "  <tr>";
		echo "    <td width='158' height='36'><p align='center'>Error:  Not logged in!</td>";
		echo "  </tr>";
		echo "</table>";
		echo "</div>";
		echo "</font>";
	}
elseif (!$userid)
	{
		echo "<div align='center'>";
		echo "<table border='1' cellspacing='0' width='158' height='36'>";
		echo "  <tr>";
		echo "    <td width='158' height='36'><p align='center'>Error:  Not logged in!</td>";
		echo "  </tr>";
		echo "</table>";
		echo "</div>";
		echo "</font>";
	}
?>

Now gives me:

Many errors, but namely:

Line 23 in previous code

This should run:

$tid = $tid + 1
fclose($replyFile);
$postFile = fopen ("../data/forum".$f."".txt", "r+");

Has anyone else noticed that $tid=$tid+1 is missing a semicolon?

This outputs: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/virtual/site18/fst/var/www/html/forums/process/newtopic.php on line 14

I tried $tid = $tid +1; and making the first file just file, not fopen. Doesn't seem to like the fopens. When I make the first one just open, the error skips to the next fopen...

Wierd.

[diego25]

Is this path correct?
"../data/forum".$f."".txt"

or should it be
"../data/forum/".$f."".txt"

Diego

[Weedpacket]

Now line 14 (the fopen() statement) is missing a comma. And the $tid=$tid+1 line is still missing a semicolon, which would cause a parse error on the next line (which, in the absence of any claims to the contrary, I'm guessing the original problem was).

[xwin]

M'kay, made those two small changes Weedpacket. Diego: that is the correct path.

Now: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/virtual/site18/fst/var/www/html/forums/process/newtopic.php on line 20

Moving down, slowly. 😉

[diego25]

I don't know what your code looks like now, but if you still have this line:

$postFile = fopen ("../data/forum".$f."".txt", "r+");

it has one extra double quote there, after the $f.
