Re: [PHP] Problem appending data in a file with fopen(ftp://...,a)
I got the same error message when i opened it with w... A append operation opens the file in r/w? I'm not sure... I though it needed a + : a+, w+... anyway, I think I'm gonna use a database (mysql) and it will be easy to to what I need but this problem is very strange. Thanks! Aha -- I understand. I also didn't see the first time that you're using FTP. You can't fopen() a file for read/write through FTP. You can do one, or the other, but not both. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Problem appending data in a file with fopen(ftp://...,a)
I am able to create the file when it is not already there but I got a file exists error when I try to fopen it in append mode the second time. I wrote this to store a log of the traffic on my site (userid in a cookie+timestamp) in a file. Don't know if i'm using the good technique but it's very frustrating. I tried with 2 different FTP servers where I have all the necessary rights. Is it possible to solve this problem or it's a feature in PHP?

Re: [PHP] Problem appending data in a file with fopen(ftp://...,a)
I only fopen my file once... My program checks if there is a specific session cookie. If not (it's a new user that browse the site) I set a cookie and try to store the unique ID of this user (other cookie) in a file with a timestamp to track which user came and when (+ nb of times...). That's where I use my fopen() then I fclose the file. The fopen(..., a) creates the file if it's not already there but once it's created, it cannot append a new line (User;timestamp) to this file : Error : File exists. :(( Kurt Lieber [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit dans le message news: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sunday 28 October 2001 06:41 pm, you wrote: Is it possible to solve this problem or it's a feature in PHP? If I understand your problem, you are trying to open the same file twice. I'm not sure why you would want to do that, but assuming you have a good reason, you need to make sure you fclose($filename) before you try to fopen($filename) again. Otherwise, PHP maintains the file open for reading (and writing, if that's how you opened it.) hth --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
