[Resolved] Writing PHP solution to a TXT file.

middleman666

Hey, im quite new to php so basically i need a little help from anyone..?

im trying to write the read out of a php function to a txt file.

this is the code i have:

<?php

$myFile = "latest.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

$content = "content=\r";
fwrite($fh, $content);

include ("GetLatestMessage.php");
echo "Latest Posts: ";
$LastMsg=GetLatestMessage('n3w.net/the/maplelodge/maplelodgeforum','/users/n3w/public_html/the/maplelodge/maplelodgeforum',5);
for ($i=0;$i<=4;$i++){
echo "<a href=\"http://",$LastMsg['URL'][$i],"\" target=\"NEU\">",$LastMsg['subj'][$i],"</a> by ",$LastMsg['auth'][$i]," ";
}

fwrite($fh, $LastMsg);

fclose($fh)
?>

The part i want to write to the file is the $LastMsg but when i try it, i get this is the txt file:

content=
Array

i wanna keep the content= there so ignore that, its just the Array bit i dont get...

hope someone can help.

Not sure exactly what's in your GetLatestMessage, but it sounds like it outputs an array and not a string, so try this instead.

$theMessage = "";

for ($i=0;$i<=4;$i++){ 
$theMessage .= "<a href=\"http://".$LastMsg['URL'][$i]."\" target=\"NEU\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"1\">".$LastMsg['subj'][$i]."</a> <br>by ".$LastMsg['auth'][$i]."</font><br><br>"; 
} 

fwrite($fh, $theMessage);
