saving to txt

celix_the_fat

i'm just learning PHP and im trying to simply open a file and save the contents of the form that i created to a txt file.

i need a php script that receives a a variable value from a flash page and then creates a .txt with that value.

as an alternative it could just write it after the previously saved values in just one txt file

any help on that?

sorry for the english..

thanks

$file = "/path/to/file.txt";

$fp = fopen($file,"a+);

//Loop through values
fwrite($fp,$value);
//End Loop

fclose($fp);

You will need to make sure that you have
the correct permissions to write to the file
as well.

lets do it a bit different... same way, but he forgot a few things.


#First lets define the path to the file we want to write, or append to.
$filename = "file.txt";
#lets first create a file pointer, pointing to what we need, first param of fp() is the filename, the second is the mode.. mode, "a+", "r+", "w+", and such. (a for append, r for read, and w for write)
$filePointer = fp($filename, "a+");
#Now lets open it, first parameter of fopen() is the filePointer we just created, and the second parameter is the the amount of data extracting.
#You can read more about that at php.net searching for fread();
#We use "filesize($filename)" so we get the whole file...
$fileContents = fopen($filePointer, filesize($filename));
#now we go aheaed and close the file...
fclose($filepointer);

#Now you can echo out the contents, or just do whatever..
echo $fileContents;

Hope this helps... Alot of notes in there hehehe, read them!! Its important!

ok this is my php file


<?php

$ficheiro = date(U);
$filename = $ficheiro.".txt";


$Today = (date ("l dS of F Y ( h:i:s A )",time()));
$Created="File Created on $Today";
$somecontent = "Created=$Created";

$handle = fopen($filename, 'w');
fwrite($handle, $somecontent);
fclose($handle);


?>

now this is what i have in flash

on (release) {
somecontent = "foi escrito";
loadVariablesNum("programa.php", 0, "POST");
}
