It probably does what you are asking it to do. Have you checked the value of $nickname to see if you are setting it to "bob" or appending "bob" to it?
i.e first time $nickname = "phil"
second time $nickname = "philbob"

Honestly, what does this do:
$fileID = fopen("nicknames.txt", "a") or die("Could not open " . $path . "/nicknames.txt");
chmod("nicknames.txt", 0755);
fputs($fileID, $nickname . "\n"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID);
What does it EXACTLY do? What I'm trying to do is very very simple: I have the nickname of "phil" and I add it to nicknames.txt as "phil" + "\n". The next person adds his name as "bob" + "\n". However, this happens:
phil
philbob
Is it due to the way I'm adding to the file? Can someone show me how to append to a file properly without carrying over persistent existing data like what you see above, instead having it like this:
phil
bob
Thanx, I'm lost here.
