Exporting to a textfile (or any other if better)

programming
2

im kind of confused why i havent gotten any help :puzzle:

so i thought maybe you guys didnt want to take the time to download the sourcesā€¦ so here they areā€¦

I have a button in my movie that contains this:
[AS]loadVariablesNum (ā€œsave.phpā€, 0, ā€œPOSTā€);[/AS]

and then a php file that contains this:


<? php
$test = $_POST["test"];
$filname = './test.txt';
$fp = fopen($filname, 'w');
fputs($fp, "$test");
fclose($fp);
?>

im not extremely familiar w/ php so idk what the prob isā€¦ help plz :slight_smile:

it is a holiday, in the US anyway, most people are with family and away from their computers.

patience is a virtue.

it isnā€™t personal, the right person will answer when they get a chance.

[s] really?

I hadnā€™t noticedā€¦ [/s]

You were the one wondering, outloud, why your thread hadnā€™t been answered, so donā€™t get snippy to meā€¦

haha i have no idea what your problem is, but im sorry if i offended you ā€¦ lol that really caught me off guardā€¦

(the birth of Jesus is a world wide holiday )

wasnā€™t a smartass comment? you were the one who put the :wink: wink guy next to your obvious statement.

You are not well known here, so how am I supposed to know your intent? You sounded impatient, so I made an attempt to calm your eagerness. You then make a snippy remark with a wink, and now you say it caught you off guard?

BTW - if you want to use a flash footer, it needs to be 300 wide x 60 tall maximum. Just an FYI

hey thanx for the awesome help, but after I got to messing w/ it I hit another small problem that my lack on PHP knowledged kept me from fixingā€¦ here is my updated file i made to suit me:

<?php
$filename = 'news.txt';
$tag = 'news=';
$somecontent = $_POST['news'];

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {


    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
         print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (!fwrite($handle, $tag)) {
       print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    
//    print "news=$tag";
    
    fclose($handle);

    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (!fwrite($handle, $somecontent)) {
       print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;

    print "news=$somecontent";
    
    fclose($handle);
    
}
    
    print "news=$somecontent";
					
} else {
    print "news=The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

my prob is that if i enter something into my text box that has an apostrophe of quotation PHP automatically adds the backslash for the obvious reasonsā€¦ but this messes me up when I try to use my HTML tags or just apostropheā€™s in my lil example thing at www.jayhayes.no-ip.com/Jay/crap/thingy.html thanx again guys

<?php
//return var 'news'
$filename = 'news.txt';
$somecontent = stripslashes($_POST['news']);

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {


    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
         print "news=Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (!fwrite($handle, $tag)) {
       print "news=Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    
//    print "news=$tag";
    
    fclose($handle);

    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         print "news=Cannot open file ($filename)";

}
    
    print "news=$somecontent";
                    
} else {
    print "news=The file $filename is not writable";
