Writing to a file

davidf85

I am trying to write a script that takes input from text boxes and writes them to a file.
However I am getting this error
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in d:\hshome\c239198\local54memberforum.com\submitcomment.php on line 8"


<html>
<head>
<title>Local 54 Member Forum</title>
<?php
$name=$_POST['name'];
$comment=$_POST['comment'];
$comment = $name."\t".$comment
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT\hshome\c239198\local54memberforum.com\comment.txt", 'ab');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
if (!$fp) {
   echo "<p><strong> Your order could not be processed at this time.</strong></p></html>;
   exit;
}
fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring));
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);
echo "<p>Submitted</p>
?>
</body>
</html>

No closing quotes for each of the echo statements. (Which is why the syntax highlighter here shows all those commands in red (the string literal color, in this case.)

fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring));
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);
echo <p>Submitted</p>
?>
</body>
</html>

Here is the modified code, I still get the error...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in d:\hshome\c239198\local54memberforum.com\submitcomment.php on line 8

As NogDog has noted, use the syntax highlighting to help you spot your mistake. You should be using an editor with adequate syntax highlighting.
