Hey
I am about 2 hours away from a deadline and i am just now able to test the php for the guestboook that I cut and pasted from the very helpful Pyro, but I think maybe i messed it up...i dont know. Its giving me an error on line 17, it says "Warning: fopen("guestbook.txt", "") - Invalid argument in /narrativesite/narrative1.php on line 17
Your entry could not be added."
does anyone know how I can fix this? My code is as follows (I didnt change THAT much from the orinal which i found on page two of this forum.
<?PHP
$filename = "guestbook.txt"; #CHMOD to 666
$text = "";
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST["name"]);
$message = htmlspecialchars($_POST["message"]);
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");
$value = $message."<br>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 70%; font-weight: bold;\">added to by $name at $time on $date.</span>\n<break>\n";
##Write the file##
$fp = fopen ($filename, "a");
if ($fp) {
fwrite ($fp, $value);
fclose ($fp);
}
else {
echo ("Your entry could not be added.");
}
}
?>
