[Resolved] Create File Below Dir. and Request Var Input?

[middleman666]

ok, sorry if that title didnt make sense, but heres what i am trying to do...

I have a form in lets say Dir.01 which is above Dir.00.

This form has a field BandName which is then saved and creates a file on Dir.00.

This is the code:

$ourHFileName = "../Artist-".$BandName.".php";
$ourHFileHandle = fopen($ourHFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

  if  (!chmod($ourFileName,0777))
  	die ("change permission to 777 failed.");

$Hcontent= '<?php include ("PAGESTART.php"); ?>
<?php include ("content/Artist-".$BandName.".php"); ?>
<?php include ("PAGEEND.php"); ?>';

fwrite($ourHFileHandle, $Hcontent);

fclose($ourHFileHandle); 

My problem is, when the file is created with the Hcontent bit, it doesnt change the $BandName to what it was in the form...

Have I just used the wrong ' or " ? any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

Replace $BandName with $GET['BandName'] or $POST['BandName'], depending on the 'method' attribute of the form.

thanks for that, but Ive already done that, just didnt wanna put the whole script in the thread. cheers anyway.

Ive solved it now, just some pissy mix up with the ' and ".

$ourHFileName = "../Artist-".$BandName.".php";
$ourHFileHandle = fopen($ourHFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

  if  (!chmod($ourHFileName,0777))
  	die ("change permission to 777 failed.");

$Hcontent= '<?php include ("PAGESTART.php"); ?>
<?php include ("content/Artist-' . $BandName . '.php"); ?>
<?php include ("PAGEEND.php"); ?>';

fwrite($ourHFileHandle, $Hcontent);

fclose($ourHFileHandle);
