too many errors with this small php script

[pouncer]

i keep getting these errors..

Warning: file_get_contents(test): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/prawgzn/public_html/m/remove.php on line 5

Warning: fopen(test): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/prawgzn/public_html/m/remove.php on line 9

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/prawgzn/public_html/m/remove.php on line 10

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/prawgzn/public_html/m/remove.php on line 11

with the code..

<?php  

$filename = 'test.txt';  

$somecontent = $_GET['data'] . "\n";  

$file_data = file_get_contents($filename);  

$file_data = str_replace($somecontent, "", $file_data);  

$file = fopen($filename, "w"); 
fputs($file, $file_data);  

fclose($file); 

?>

All these errors are being caused by the 1st one.
if file_get_contents fails then fopen is going to fail then fputs will fail and then fclose will fail.. what you need to do is make some simple error handling methods (whatever) like

also the error seems to be saying the file your trying to open doesnt exist.

if (isset($_GET['data'])) {
   $filename = 'test.txt'; 
if (file_exsits($filename)) {

$file_data = file_get_contents($filename);  

$file_data = str_replace($somecontent, "", $file_data);   

$file = fopen($filename, "w");
fputs($file, $file_data);  

fclose($file); 

}
}

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_exsits() in /home/prawgzn/public_html/m/remove.php on line 5

now i get that error?

do i have chmod my php script? the test.txt is already 7777 😕

NOTE: i often post code with out testing it first mainly as contceptual code..

note the spelling error :file_exsits ? or file_exists? you should prolly should chmod 777 the script if you are writing to a file and should prolly also chmod 777 the file ur righting to.

It's safe to say that code made by the "cut-and-paste" approach will not work. Especially if you don't understand it.

its unlikely you need to chmod the script.

however...

you might just try using the FULL path for the filename...

edited from theworks..

if (isset($_GET['data'])) {

  $path = "/home/prawgzn/public_html/m";
  $filename = $path."/test.txt"; 

  if (file_exsits($filename)) {
    if ($file_data = file_get_contents($filename)){
      $file_data = str_replace($somecontent, "", $file_data);   

      $file = fopen($filename, "w");
      fputs($file, $file_data);  

      fclose($file);
    } else {
      print "the file exists, but i cant open it!";
    };
  } else {
    print "the file doesnt exist";
  };
}

what weedpacket says is correct. try to understand the code, rather than just copying + pasting it.

you want to LEARN, not just get someone to fix it for you.
