fwrite problem....

[toshog]

hi everyone...

code problem:
if i execute the code bellow i get: Cannot write to file... ok. if i change $stuff to "whatever" it writes to the file.... if i put the code in getContent() in a page works fine.... how can i get this class to do whatever it needs to and then get the output written to a file? and also is there a way to periodically hit this code to generate the "special.txt" within php. something like cron or another way....

all ideas and suggestions are welcomed....

thanks.....

ps: i also tried:....... fwrite($handle, $stuff=getContent() )...... but same result...

<?

function getContent() {
require("phpclass.php");
$sp = new Special();
$sp->parse();
$sp->destroy();
}

$filename = "special.txt";
$stuff = getContent();

if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}

if (!fwrite($handle, $stuff)) {
    print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
    exit;
}

fclose($handle);

?>

You're not returning anything from the getContent function. You need to have a line that says
return $some_variable;
or else you are just carying out the function.
Good Luck
