To avoid textareas with a single (or several) ENTER I'd rather test with
| Code: |
| if (trim($test) == "") { /* ... */} |
Good code anyway
ok i got it to work the first time, however, if you try to go back and change whats in the file (aka re submit text) it dosnt work right. I want it so that, it will always overwright whats already in the text file.
ps: yeah i need to one day just site down and learn php. There are so many times i wish i could use it. I know AS with flash, i make my sites in flash now, and ive been useing "sharedObjects" as a way to get around using php with flash, but i still need to learn it, it would just open up so many more possibiltiees.

You have to use absolute path, not the http path. If your home directory is /home/m-productions, then
You can also use
| Code: |
|
//$site = $_POST['site']; $site="/home/m-productions/scripts/test.txt";//absolute path $text = $_POST['info']; $folder = $_POST['folder']; if(!is_dir('./'.$folder.'/')) mkdir('./'.$folder, 0777); $f = fopen($site,"w"); fwrite($f, "$text"); fclose($f); echo 'Wrote to file'; |
