file reading, writing to new file creation problem.

[sois]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to:

1. create a file from a variable sent through a html form to a php script.
2. open an existing file and write that information to the file which was just created.

I have fixed the permissions but still get it to work.

Any suggestions?

Here is what I have:

// opens the new file from a variable passed, this part works ok
$handle = fopen($rom, "w+");
$first = fopen("pointers.nes", "r");
fwrite ($handle, $first);

the problem you are having is that $first is a file pointer---it does not contain the actual contents of the file. Try opening the file, then READING the file into a vriable, then writing out the variable to the other file.
