File Creation Script Help

**Titan85** · 12-08-2006, 09:33 PM

Hello, recently I have been working on a simple script that allows you to input data into a form and then creates a .html page with that data on it. I think i have it mostly working, but for some reason there is an error while creating the page. Here is my code:

Form Page (game_record.php):

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>



<body>

<form id="game_records" name="game_recorder" method="post" action="game_process.php">

    Page Title:

        <br />

            <input type="title" name="textfield" />

        <br />

        <br />

    Filename:

        <br />

            <input type="filename" name="textfield" />

        <br />

        <br />

    Team Names:

        <br />

            <input name="team1" type="text" />

        <br />

            <input name="team2" type="text"  />

        <br />

        <br />

    Winning Team:

        <br />

            <input name="win" type="text"  />

        <br />

        <br />

    Score:

        <br />

            <input name="score" type="text"  />

        <br />

        <br />

    Game Links:

        <br />

            <input name="game1" type="text"  />

        <br />

            <input name="game1" type="text"  />

        <br />

            <input name="game1" type="text"  />

        <br />

        <br />

            <input type="submit" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Data Process Page (game_process.php):

PHP Code:


<?

require("includes.php");



$filename = $_REQUEST['filename']; //Get filename



//Add title

$title = stripslashes($_POST['title']);

$team2 = stripslashes($_POST['team2']);



//Add winning team

$win = stripslashes($_POST['win']);



//Add score

$score = stripslashes($_POST['score']);



//Add game 1

$game1 = stripslashes($_POST['game1']);



//Add game 2

$game2 = stripslashes($_POST['game2']);



//Add game 3

if($game3 = stripslashes($_POST['game3'])) {

    

$add = '

            </ul>

';



$game = $add;



    $file = @fopen($filename, "w+");

    @fwrite($file, $game);

    @fclose($file);

    $message = $success;

    }

else {

    $message = $add_error;

    }

echo'

I hope that is enough to find the problem, if not just post back saying what you need and I will get that to you ASAP. Thanks

Whats the error that you get, from looking at the above code, I cannot find anything wrong, but if we had an error message, maybe we could pinpoint the problem. (or even a link to the script would be helpful).

**Titan85** · 12-09-2006, 06:25 AM

Ok, the only error I get is that off the message I defined as the error message if it failed to create the file. The link to the test is: http://www.echo-designes.com/testing...ame_record.php . Hope you can find something

Make sure that the directory that the file is being written to has writable permissions (777). If it does, try taking the "@" sign of the front of fopen, fwrite, etc to see if you get a PHP error. Hope this helps.

I made sure the folder had writable permission and had already taken out the @ sign, but still no actual PHP error, just the one i set. Anything else to do?

The problem with the code is the HTML page, look at the following and below is the corrections.

Code:

    Game Links:
        <br />
            <input name="game1" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game1" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game1" type="text"  />

correction:

Code:

    Game Links:
        <br />
            <input name="game1" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game2" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game3" type="text"  />

After fixing that, it gives the PHP errors:

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\wamp\www\test\game_process.php on line 58

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\wamp\www\test\game_process.php on line 59
success

I'm currently looking for the reason, and a fix for it. As soon as I get it fixed, I will post the corrected code here and explain the problems.

I have found the reason why it is not working. And it is all in the HTML code.

Corrections to your original code are as follows (you will see new additions/corrections in red):

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form name="game_recorder" method="post" action="game_process.php">
    Page Title:
        <br />
            <input type="text" name="title" />
        <br />
        <br />
    Filename:
        <br />
            <input type="text" name="filename" />
        <br />
        <br />
    Team Names:
        <br />
            <input name="team1" type="text" />
        <br />
            <input name="team2" type="text"  />
        <br />
        <br />
    Winning Team:
        <br />
            <input name="win" type="text"  />
        <br />
        <br />
    Score:
        <br />
            <input name="score" type="text"  />
        <br />
        <br />
    Game Links:
        <br />
            <input name="game1" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game2" type="text"  />
        <br />
            <input name="game3" type="text"  />
        <br />
        <br />
            <input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Sorry it took so long to figure it out, I really need to start paying attention to the HTML first before looking at the PHP. I have tested it and it works perfectly now. Let me know if you still have problems.

**Titan85** · 12-10-2006, 05:11 AM

Thanks a lot man, i really appreciate it and it works great. Darn little errors : / . O, I have another kinda off topic question. Say I want have the data added to two pages, like one page has the full info, but the other one gets a link to the page added, how would I do that?
