Php and Text File Help

[golfinggod]

Hi
I'm in desperate need of some help with php and text files. What I am looking to do is enter some details into a text file and keep it a database

The details:

Customer_email [{, link_category-N}]


An example of the text file line would be.

[e-mail],Golf-1

The code iv'e got so far is

<?php 


$Email = 'Test';

$Catagory = 'TestC';

$Visits = 'TestV';

$file="Users.txt";

$fileopen=fopen ("$file","w");

fputs($fileopen, "$Email \n");

fclose($fileopen);


?>

There are two problems currently

1. Im not sure how to add all the fields to the line.

2. Every time I refresh the page to enter a new line into the text file it keeps overwriting the old one. So ive only ever got one line in the file.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

🙂 🙂

Hi,

try something like this:

<?php 
$Email = 'Test';
$Catagory = 'TestC';
$Visits = 'TestV';
$file="Users.txt";
$fileopen=fopen ("$file","ab+");
fputs($fileopen, "$Email,$Catagory\n");
fclose($fileopen);
?> 

Use \r\n instead of \n if you want to have DOS linefeeds.

That works great thanks. There is still a problem however because this bit I think doesnt place the space. Instead I just get a box after each set of input and one very long line acrosss the page.

fputs($fileopen, "$Email,$Catagory\n"); 

Any ideas

Cheers

Use

fputs($fileopen, "$Email,$Catagory\r\n");

\n are UNIX linefeeds. Notepad for example has problems with them.

\r\n are DOS linefeeds.
