Don't had to page ???

Good day to you all,
the following pice of code is for opening a file, and write to it.
My problem is that the text is not copied in the file.

Here what it should do.
This script is in a page which contain a form that post the result to the page. (self-submit)
Receive the post $update
Create a file named, username-hour-minute-second.txt within today's folder.
Save the content of the post in the newly created file.

here is the code:

PHP Code:


			
if(isset($_POST['update']))
{

    // Declare Variables
    $text = $_POST['update'];
    $your_data = $text;
    $mname = date("Y/m/d/")."/". $_SESSION['username']."--".date("G-i-s").".txt";
    // Open the file and erase the contents if any
      $fp = fopen($mname, "w"); 
    // Write the data to the file
    fwrite($fp, $your_data);
    // Close the file
    fclose($fp);
    // Confirm saved !
    echo "Comment added !<br />".$your_data; 




}

Thanks !

Here it is nice and simple. You don't necessarily need to use the fopen, fwrite and fclose functions as PHP5 packages those nicely into one function for us:

php Code:

$szData = 'TalkPHP.com';
$szFolder = sprintf('./%s/', 'Wildhoney');
$szFile = sprintf('%s.txt', date('Y-m-d'));

if (!is_dir($szFolder))
{
    mkdir($szFolder);
}

file_put_contents($szFolder . $szFile, $szData);

I recommend you to use PHP5. Upgrade your php folder to version 5. There are a lots of new things in php 5 that is nonetheless not present in php4.

Just take a look at the example above and you will notice a big difference :)
