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.

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.

This may be a 'feature' of your ftp target. There may be limitations on
what you can do via ftp including overwrite existing files. If you have
control of the box, or admin access, check /etc/ftpaccess if it is a *nix
OS. About BillOS, I have no idea.

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".

[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?
