File write

Hey again

I'm writing a script so that i can type anything i want into a textarea then choose the file name and the file extension and submit it, it should then save it in a directory below called "files". I'm having a few problems with it though :/
here it is:

PHP: Select all


$filecode = $_POST['code'];
$file = $_POST['file'];
$ext = $_POST['ext'];

 $fp = fopen("files/".$file.".".$ext, "a+");
   fwrite($fp, "<html>".$filecode."</html>");
   
echo ("success");

i get the echo. But no file appears. I have all permissions turned on the directory. I don't see the problem :s

Remember to check if the file was written and to close your file handle again:

PHP: Select all


$filecode = $_POST['code'];
$file = $_POST['file'];
$ext = $_POST['ext'];
$fp = fopen("files/".$file.".".$ext, "a+");
if(fwrite($fp, "<html>".$filecode."</html>")!=false) {
    echo ("success");
}
fclose($fp);

That should do the trick.
