fwrite error

Paranormalcy

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and have a quick question.

Hope someone can help. I am sure someone has asked this before, please point me in the right direction.

I am using php through my school. So i do not have access to permissions and stuff like that so please keep that in mind.

fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource

what can i do about this and what is it telling me.

Thanks in advance

Do you have the code that you used to open the file? Are you sure you set the file to specifically open for writing?: fopen($somefile, "w"); or fopen($somefile, "a+");

Check out http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php and http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php

<?php

$postnum = $POST['postnum'];
$mrid = $POST['mrid'];
$postperc = $POST['postperc'];
$launchdate = $POST['launchdate'];

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

<?php

$outputstring = $mrid."\t"."\t"."\t".$launchdate."\n"."\n"."\n"."Posted \t\t".$postnum."\t"."\t"."\t".$postperc."\n";

@ $fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../folder/text.txt", 'a+');

if (!@fp)
{
echo 'There was an error, Please try again';

exit;
}

fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring));
fclose($fp);

echo 'Added Successfully';

I have this on my ftp site which is essentially running apache and php.

file path is ~/public_html/folder/text.txt

am i referencing the text file correctly?

first, take the @ off of the line @$fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../folder/text.txt", 'a+');

the @ supresses errors. so I am guessing that your fopen is failing.
