writing to .txt file

[jpn]

//////////////////////////////////////////
// write to text file
//////////////////////////////////////////
$filename = 'test.txt';
$content = "$n\t$e\t$ln\n";

if (is_writable($filename)) {
if ($handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
// Write $content to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE)
{echo '<p>Error</p>';}
else
{echo '<p>OK</p>';}

                 fclose($handle);
}

[/CODE]

I know that $content definately has some data in it because I have used the same variables to write to a table.

Every time I open text.txt there is no content whatsoever.

Would appreciate some help.

Thanks,

J

where do you define $n, $e and $In ?

[jpn]

$query = "INSERT INTO members( name, email, location, registration_date) VALUES ( '$n', '$e','$ln', NOW() )";
$result = @ ($query); // Run the query.

if ($result) { // If it ran OK.
//////////////////////////////////////////
// write to text file

variables are defined in further up the script.

The values are being inserted into the members table, it only after when writing to the text file that I am having problems.
