Re: [PHP] writing to file on server

2001-04-22 Thread chris herring

unless that file you're writing to is on a different server, just put the
relative location to the file. ie: ./guestbook.txt

if this doesn't work I have nothing to offer you. :-\

Subject: [PHP] writing to file on server


 Hi,

 I've just started working with PHP. I've made a guest book using PHP
 (nothing spectacular) that worked just fine when I tested it op my pc, but
 when I uploaded it, it stopped working.
 My specific problem is that I cannot write to a file that already exists
and
 contains data. When I try to I get these warnings:

 Warning: File already exists
 Warning: fopen(ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/guestbook.txt,a;) - File
 exists

 Is this problem related to the FTP fopen? And is there a way to correct
this
 problem?

 Tnx!
 Joeri Vankelst

When you are using that on your site, what basically happens is that you are
trying to open an FTP session with yourself. Not too efficient.

So just kill off the url and use the path to your file.

But when I try using the path to the file I get denied permission ...
How can I use my password then? Or can I bypass that in some way?

 chmod the file to 777, this will allow anyone write permission to the file
 and thus you will be able to append to the file

file-mode 777 is ugo=rwx. You want 'chmod 666', which is ugo=rw.

read is 4
write is 2
execute is 1

If you want rw on the file, it's 6 not 7.
