George,
In the following line you open file $fp...
if (!$fp = fopen($fp2, 'w')) {
but then you try to write to file handle $fp2...
if (!fwrite($fp2, $content)) {
The file name is stored in $fp2 but you've named the handle as $fp. Change
the $fp2 to $fp in the above line that might fix it. Maybe also move the
rename command to after the file close statements, although it might work as
it is.
The Chmod statement will probably work now too....
Hope that helps..

Subject: Problem writing to a file
Hi all,
I'm having a problem writing to a text file.
This is the error message:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Warning: fwrite():
supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\packtracker\lse\pub_req_start2.php on line 276
Cannot write to file
(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\packtracker\LSE\IR201_1770.txt)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
This is the code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$fp2 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
$fp3 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".doc";
$fn1 = file_get_contents("pub_letter.txt");
// replace some of the content placeholders with variables <<<
$content = $fn1;
if (!$fp = fopen($fp2, 'w')) {
print "Cannot open the bloody file ($fp2)";
exit;
}
// chmod($fp2,222); tried this - no effect
if (!fwrite($fp2, $content)) {
print "Cannot write to file ($fp2)";
exit;
}
rename($fp2,$fp3);
fclose($fp3);
fclose($fp2);
if($contact_route == 'Email' | $contact_route == 'email') {
----------------------------------------------------------------
So as you can see, I load a text file (actually its RTF saved as text),
parse it then write it to an open txt file, then rename that as a Word doc.
I'm running this on NT with PHP 4.3.2. The folder has write access for the
web user.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
George

You have these two lines
$fp2 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
$fp3 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".doc";
Why do you have double slashes on every place but one ? :-)

Thanks for the pointers guys.
The revised code (it works) is:
$fp2 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
if (!$fp2 = fopen($fp2, 'w')) {
print "Cannot open the bloody file ($fp2)";
exit;
}
if (!fwrite($fp2, $content)) {
print "Cannot write to file ($fp2)";
exit;
}
fclose($fp2);
rename($cr.".txt",$cr.".doc");
It may be of use to someone else.
Cheers
George

You should not have the same variable name for 2 seperate things. 1 variable is the
filename, 2 variable is the File Descriptor.
$file = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
$fd = fopen($file, 'w');

Sorry to say it, but that is quite sloppy coding. This highlights why it is
important to give variables meaningful names! In the code below, George has
assigned the location of his file to a pointer, but then over-written it
with the pointer result of fopen.
> $fp2 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
> if (!$fp2 = fopen($fp2, 'w')) {
> print "Cannot open the bloody file ($fp2)";
> exit;
> }
> if (!fwrite($fp2, $content)) {
> print "Cannot write to file ($fp2)";
> exit;
> }
> fclose($fp2);
> rename($cr.".txt",$cr.".doc");
A better solution would be to have two different variables like this:
> $file_location = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt";
> if ( !$file_pointer = fopen( $file_location, 'w' ) ) {
> print "Cannot open the bloody file ( $file_location )";
> exit;
> }
> if ( !fwrite( $file_pointer, $content ) ) {
> print "Cannot write to file ( $file_location )";
> exit;
> }
> fclose( $file_pointer );
> rename($cr.".txt",$cr.".doc");
As you can see, it makes it much more obvious what does what, and so easier
for you/others to come back to in a few months time to make changes to.
Don't be afraid to name your variables properly!

Save all programers! (sorry my "brazilian english")
I have a simple doubt, but i´m tired because i not found answers...
Why, inside a class, declarare $this variables in a format "var $varname;"
before of a constructor?
And, please, what intend the "&" signal before functions name?
I know the arguments reference methods like this:
function bla(&$reference_arg)
But what's the diference of the sintax:
function &bla(&$var)
Thanks for attention
