syntax/parse error

[c0lin]

hi all,

ive got this syntax/parse error

i tried almost everything, but cant seem to get it right :

heres the code:

$handle = @fopen("articles/"$_POST["name"].", "w"); 

btw anyone know of any php syntax checkers? i cant find one on google

many thanks

I think it is supposed to be like this:

$handle = @fopen(“articles/$_POST[“name”]”, “w”);

double quotes allow the replacement of variables.

Im confused as to why their are double quotes on the inside of the global variable anyways? Those are suppose to be single quotes, right?.. Try this…

$handle = @fopen(“articles/{$_POST[‘name’]}”, “w”);

Thanks for the replies, drewbees version worked a treat

but now i have another problem…

whenever i try to submit data to this script it gives me ‘a cannot find server’ page : (ive tried a few times now)

any ideas?

Thanks

[drewbee]

what is the rest of the code?? Either that, or your server is down.
