Hi,
I'm very new to PHP. Any help is appreciated.
I wrote a script that should create a flat file and store information in the flat file that was entered in a form on an earlier page. The script runs successfully and with no errors, and creates the file with the correct name (so my variable values are being passed ok by $_POST), but when I look at the file, nothing was written to it. It was only created and named.
Here's the script...
<?php
$accountname = $_POST['accountname'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$fax = $_POST['fax'];
$cell = $_POST['cell'];
$add1 = $_POST['add1'];
$add2 = $_POST['add2'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$data = "$accountname \n $phone \n $fax \n $cell \n $add1 \n $add2 \n $city \n $state \n $zip \n";
$ending = ".txt";
$filename = "$accountname$ending";
$handle = fopen($filename, 'x+');
if (file_exists('$filename')){
echo "The accountname $accountname already exists.";
}else{
$handle;
fwrite($filename, $data);
fclose($filename);
echo "Data Stored Successfully";
}
?>
also, if an existing file name is used, it is not stopping the script to echo "The accountname $accountname already exists."
Thanks in advance for any help. I'd look it up on my own, but I'm not getting any errors to google and I can't find a good tutorial for what I'm trying to do.
