I assume you're opening the file in a text editor and you've not found
what you expect to be there?
Have you made sure that Apache has permission to write to the file? If
you created the file yourself and uploaded it, chances are it doesn't
have the right permissions.
Thanks,

Hi,

}
else {
// If not don't write anything
echo $line . "<br>";
}
fclose($file); // Close the file.
}
?>
For some reason, it is writing out the lines, but it is not
f-writing to the file. Here is the file that is meant to be edited:
<messages>
<message>
<name>Me</name>
<phone>123-456-7890</phone>
<email>t...@test.com</email>
<comments>This is my message board!</comments>
</message>
</messages>
Have I missed something here? How come the file cannot perform fwrite actions?
Thanks for your help.
Do you have permission to write to the file?
Check the permissions of the file.
Cheers,
tedd

Hi,
I did try changing the fclose to after all the brackets in my php file. On
another note, I checked the permission of my folder that I was attempting to
write in, which all users have write, modify, read and execute permissions. I
don't see any 500 or permission denied errors, and I use IIS, so I don't use
apache.
It didn't work though, the suggestion you provided on simpleXML looks
promising, and yet I am writing not to the child, and plus I seem to be getting
a 500 error. Another thing is, do I need to "save" the file after all this
echoing is done using simpleXML?
BTW, here is the code, which I am sure that I must have done something wrong
here. Could anyone please help me out here?
Thanks for your help.
Is it possible that I could do it the way I did it before by any chance?
<?php
$name= "Test";
$phone= "123-456-7890";
$email = "mym...@mail.com";
$comments = "Test Only";
//If file exists. append, otherwise create
$file = "messages.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);
$xml-> messages[0]->addChild("message", "");
$xml -> message[0]->addChild("name",$name);
$xml -> message[0] ->addChild("phone",$phone);
$xml -> message[0] -> addChild("email",$email);
$xml-> message[0] -> addChild("comments",$comments);
echo $xml->asXML();
?>

I believe I do, since I set my folder permission of this script with modify,
read, execute and delete. I don't see any errors regarding this either. I have
changed my code to having the curly brace before I close the file handler, if
that helps any. Yet, it is still not modifying the file. Have I missed
something else here?
Thanks for your help.

It might be some weird Windows thing. I know that some of the more
recent versions of Windows, in an attempt to be more secure, make you
jump through hoops to write to a file, even when the permissions are set
correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a system with IIS so
there's no way I can test your code on that.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a system with IIS so there's no way I can

Well, my problem is not entirely solved, but I found that when I changed the
file name extension from xml to txt, it is now letting me edit the file now.
Only, the file is not writing in the way it is supposed to be. I used a+
originally, and it is writing outside my <messages></messages> root element.
I tried w, and it wipes the file out. So, this proves that it is now modifying
and saving it correctly. My question is, what kind of parameter should I use to
add the things I would like to add after the <messages> without editing
anything else in the file.
Thanks for your help.

There isn't any switch that suddenly recognises that you want to add
nodes inside of an XML document, you have to write the code for that
yourself.
There are two main ways to go about this:
1. Read in the entire file with file(), create a new array with
your new content to insert, and splice() it back into the main
array you read in at the start, then write the whole of that to
the original file, overwriting anything in it.
2. Use XML functions to read in the contents of the file, add in
the new nodes as you need, and overwrite the whole file again
with the new DOM output
Either way, you're going to have to overwrite the existing file each
time.

I believe I do, since I set my folder permission of this script with modify,
read, execute and delete. I don't see any errors regarding this either. I have
changed my code to having the curly brace before I close the file handler, if
that helps any. Yet, it is still not modifying the file. Have I missed
something else here?
Thanks for your help.

It might be some weird Windows thing. I know that some of the more recent
versions of Windows, in an attempt to be more secure, make you jump through
hoops to write to a file, even when the permissions are set correctly.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a system with IIS so there's no way I can
test your code on that.
Well, my problem is not entirely solved, but I found that when I changed the
file name extension from xml to txt, it is now letting me edit the file now.
Only, the file is not writing in the way it is supposed to be. I used a+
originally, and it is writing outside my <messages></messages> root element.
I tried w, and it wipes the file out. So, this proves that it is now modifying
and saving it correctly. My question is, what kind of parameter should I use to
add the things I would like to add after the <messages> without editing
anything else in the file.
Thanks for your help.

I ended up modifying the code by using r+ instead of using a, and modified your
first option by reading the file line by line and writing out the lines over
again plus the edits. Finally got it solved now, and I truly appreciate it. I
will probably look at simpleXML when I get a chance.
Thanks for your help.

I would use an if statement since you only need to determine true or false.
Something like:
$query = $db->query("select menus.id, menus.name,
from " . \DB_MENUS . " as menus
left join " . \DB_HIDDENPANELS . " as panels on (menus.id =
panels.menu_id)
where menus.id='" . (int)$id . "'
");
if (empty(DB_HIDDENPANELS)) {
echo "";
}
else {
echo "hiddenpanel";
}
But I would wait for others to chime in on this one, because I'm very far from
an expert, there's also got to be a much better efficient way to write the if
statement above, but it's what I would do in a case like this until I found a
better way.
