About writing to a textfile ?

[Pellefant]

Hello!

Now I will push my luck here. :rolleyes:

I do have this code, how do I plese make so:

1)If the file don't exists, make one automatic and
set the rights so it can be written to(or do I have to do that manually in the FTP program?)

2) Add the date and time to the textfile in the beginning for every entry

3)Get a new entry below the existing ones

Thats all. 🙂

<?
//This writes the data to the textfile
$filename = "contactinfo.txt";

//Opends the file
$open_file = fopen($filename, "w");

fwrite($open_file, "\n\nFile: $file\nname: $name\n company: $company\n email: $email\n phone: $phone");

//Closes the file
fclose($open_file);
?>

file_exists() - check if file exists (returns true or false)
chmod() - set permissions
date() - get the date and time

to get a new entry below the existing ones, you need to set the filepointer to the end of the
file, meaning change the "w" to an "a+" in fopen

to create a file, use fopen()

by using "a+" as your pointer, if the file doesn't exist it will attempt to create it. That means you'll need to set write
access to the folder where the files will be placed.
