I'm writing customer orders into a file. I'm
1. getting data from session variables and a database,
2. putting it into a variable called $fileContent
3. then touch($filename);
4. then writing $fileContent to $filename - the code is at the bottom
The test versions of this have all gone well.
The file must contain the data in a preset format. All the data is on
one line (no line breaks) and each field has a preset limit, The file is
FTPed and the data parsed.
So far so good. It works with one customer order
Now when I want to write multiple customer orders it doesn't work?
Abbreviated code is below
// CODE FOR MULTIPLE ORDERS
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
$theItemID=$row["orderedItems.itemID"];
$theItemPrice=$row["itemPrice"];
$theItemQty=$row["itemQty"];
$thisItemID= sprintf("% 6d",$theItemID);
$thisItemPrice= sprintf("%7.2f",$theItemPrice);
$thisItemQty= sprintf("% 7d",$theItemQty);
$moreContent=
"\n" .
"20" .
$thisOrder .
$thisItemID .
$thisItemPrice .
$thisItemQty . "\n";
}
//END CODE
// CODE BELOW IS FOR WRITE TO FILE
// Make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {
// Open $filename in write mode.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
// Write $fileContent to opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $fileContent) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
fclose($handle);
