PHP writing to file linking docs.

[Immortal]

I wanted these files to link and make 1 big file at news.html

here is the code:


<?php
$header = 'header.txt';
$footer = 'footer.txt';
$file = 'news.htm';
$filename = 'news.html';

$headerbuff = file_get_contents($header);
$footerbuff = file_get_contents($footer);
$filebuff = file_get_contents($file);

if(is_writable($filename)) {
if(!@file_put_contents($filename, $headerbuff.$filebuff.$footerbuff)){
echo "Unable to write to file $filename";

}else{

echo "Success writing to $filename";
}
} else {
echo "Unable to write";
}
?>

can anyone tell me why it writes nothing to the file?

Do you get any error messages?

[Immortal]

no, it dosent notify any errors

[pyro]

What version of PHP are you using? file_put_contents requires PHP >= 4.3.0.

[Immortal]

Alright thanks. Although is there any way that I can use fgets or something instead?

[pyro]

Yeah, you could, but I would use file (http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php) before I'd use that...

[Immortal]

Is there any other functions I could use?

[pyro]

Why? What's wrong with those?

[Immortal]

either i dont have the right php version, or its coded wrong. Either way i need a resolution

[pyro]

To check your version of PHP:

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>

[Immortal]

yea, it says I have php version 4.3.3 so shouldnt it work?

[pyro]

Get rid of the error supressor (@) before the file_put_contents function and see if you get an error.

[Immortal]

yes i got one.

[pyro]

Ok.

[Immortal]

so....

[pyro]

If you would like more help, giving me the error mesage would be a good place to start. :rolleyes:
