Hello, when I pass a variable whose value originally came from $_GET or $_REQUEST to fwrite, fwrite behaves as if it was passed an empty string. Note that the file is successfully opened and written to by the script, but the variable that originally came from $_GET does not have its value interpolated in the text file, even though it does get interpolated in the echo().---- Code ---- <? $meh = $_GET["q"]; $writeline = ":" . $meh . ":" . strlen($meh) . PHP_EOL; echo ( $writeline ); $fp = fopen("/tmp/wtf.log","w+"); fwrite($fp, $writeline ); fclose($fp); var_dump($writeline); ?> ---- Request ---- /search.php?q=meh123 ---- Response --- ( expected ) :meh123:6 string(10) ":meh123:6 " ---- Contents of /tmp/wtf.log ---- ::0 Some sort of security setting in php.ini maybe? If so, I'm not only curious in how to fix it but also how this actually happens. Does the value assigned to $writeline not get immediately evaluated? I mean, does $writeline "know" it contains variables from elsewhere, instead of just containing a string of chars? Thanks!
I'm not at all sure what's going on with your code and/or site. Please look at:
