General PHP Help
#1

I haven’t the foggiest, so if you could help:
[php]<?php
$home=getcwd();
function getemail() {
?>

What is your email: <?php return($email); }

function filestart($email,$fileinfo)
{
chdir(“data”);
if(!(file_exists($email))) {
$fptr = fopen($email,“w”) or die(“Unable to open file!1”);
fwrite($fptr," “);
fclose($fptr);
}
$ffptr = fopen($email,“a+”) or die(“Unable to open file!2”);
fwrite($ffptr,$fileinfo);
chdir($home);
}
// $email="[email protected]”;
if (!($_POST[‘Submit’])) {
filestart($email,“The rain in Spain…”);
} else {
getemail();
}

[/php]
it works with the commented line uncommented, but I have no clue as to why it is not working… Help!!!
always,

I changed two parts for you, this should work

[php] <?php
$home=getcwd();
function getemail() {
?>

What is your email: <?php return($email); }

function filestart($email,$fileinfo)
{
chdir(“data”);
if(!(file_exists($email))) {
$fptr = fopen($email,“w”) or die(“Unable to open file!1”);
fwrite($fptr," “);
fclose($fptr);
}
$ffptr = fopen($email,“a+”) or die(“Unable to open file!2”);
fwrite($ffptr,$fileinfo);
chdir($home);
}
// $email="[email protected]”;
$email=$_POST[‘emailaddress’];

if (!($_POST[‘Submit’])) {
filestart($email,“The rain in Spain…”);
} else {
getemail();
}[/php]

Ran it through chrome, and server log reads"
PHP Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/gimpware/public_html/test/newfilefuncs.php on line 18

#4

Did you type in an email address?

You don’t have any error handling to prevent submissions with blank email addresses.

#5

It does not get that far with chrome browser… It just says ‘Unable to open file!1’… server log says ‘PHP Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/gimpware/public_html/test/newfilefuncs.php on line 18’…

This should work :slight_smile:

[php]<?php
$home=getcwd();
function getemail() {
?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"

method=“post”>
What is your email:
<input type=“text” id=“emailaddress”

name=“emailaddress” maxlength=“50”>
<input type=“submit” name=“Submit”

value=“Submit”>

<?php return($email); } function filestart($email,$fileinfo) { chdir("data"); if(!(file_exists($email))) { $fptr = fopen($email,"w") or die("Unable to open file!1"); fwrite($fptr," "); fclose($fptr); } $ffptr = fopen($email,"a+") or die("Unable to open file!2"); fwrite($ffptr,$fileinfo); chdir($home); } // $email="[email protected]"; $email=$_POST['emailaddress']; if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){ filestart($email,"The rain in Spain..."); } else { getemail(); } ?>[/php]
