problem w/ my syntax

ru_ie

Hey,

Im running a simple script to take email addresses and add to file -

<?
$fName = @$_POST["add_me"];

// Set the string to be written to the file
$values = "$fadd_me $ladd_me\r\n";

// Open the file for truncated writing
$fp = @fopen("notify_list.txt", "w") or die("Sorry no luck..");
$numBytes = @fwrite($fp, $values) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");

@fclose($fp);
print "Wrote $numBytes bytes to file successfully!";
?>

But it returns weirdness - taking the variable from the input and giving me this result -
"add_email.phpTEXTR*ch†~ºq=]ºqz.mBIN‚?;úSorry no luck.."

Is this a problem w/ my syntax on server or what?

Here is a piece of code that works for me. I hope it helps.

<?php

import_request_variables("GP");

if(isset($submit)){
$values = "$fadd_me $ladd_me\r\n";
$fp = fopen("notify_list.txt", "w") or die("Sorry no file");
$numBytes = fwrite($fp, $values) or die ("Can't write to file");
fclose($fp);
} else {
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="addme.php" method ="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="fadd_me">
<input type="text" name="ladd_me">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

Dont' forget when you open a file with a "w" that it erases the contents of the file.

Please post some of your code. Also try to run the code I posted.
Call the page "addme.php". Does it work?
