No point ignoring errors returned by functions.
Errors are there to help you pinpoint problems... they are noe
problems themselves.

Re: [PHP] append line to text file HELP !!!
check the read/write permissions in the folder the file is located in,
they should be set to read/write/execute or th file will not be created,
you might also want to use this format to open file
$fp = fopen("your/path/goes/here", "a");
your code would look like this:

I haven't actually checked your code on my development box and I
haven't done file i/o for a while so this does not address any syntax
errors that might exist, but...
What is the operating system? Do you have sufficient permissions to
be writing files in that directory? What permissions are set on the
file you're trying to append to?
If you can't work with files in that directory because of directory
permissions then it won't work. If the file has permissions that
prevents the web server process from accessing it then you also won't
be able to get it working.

RE: [PHP] append line to text file HELP !!!
Do you read the replies that were sent to you. Where did you get file()
from and why are you using fopen() to write to a file??
You're lucky Miguel is such a nice guy and helping you out.

Where did this code come from? It looks like you took what I mailed and
just sort of smudged it around into an incomprehensible, random mess.
Let's look at it on a line-by-line basis:
> $file_pointer=file('emails.txt','a') || exit;
Here you changed "fopen" to "file" for some weird reason. Also, you don't
tell it which directory the file "emails.txt" should be in. Put in a full
pathname unless the web server actually has write privileges on the
directory containing your script, in which case you have a whole different
set of troubles.
> $string_to_write = ("$newmail")."\n";
Good enough, though it's easier to just write:
$string_to_write = $newmail . "\n";
or even:
$string_to_write = "$newmail\n";
> $s=fopen($file_pointer,$string_to_write);
Here you changed "fwrite" to "fopen" for, presumably, the same weird
reason that you made the weird change above.
> $s=fclose($fp);
Where did $fp come from? The file pointer variable in this program is
called $file_pointer.

No surprise here. You can't randomly throw functions together. They all
have specific purposes and expect specific types of inputs. I'd suggest
two things:
1) Read the documentation carefully.
2) If someone gives you an example that might work, try it verbatim, and
test after each change. Then you'll know when it went wrong.
