Write the irev file first with placeholder variables instead of data that would be sent. e.g.
<?irev put "tom" into tFolderName put "prefs.txt" into tFileName put "someSetting=true" into tData -- now create the folder if required -- save the data to the appropriate file put "OK" -- show that it's worked ?> Now test it from your browser by going to http://yourdomain.on-rev.com/writeData.irev It should display the OK and you should see the folder & file created. Once that is working, you can start sending the data to the irev file, perhaps setting this up one section at a time. So you could change to calling http://yourdomain.on-rev.com/writeData.irev?foldername=tom And change the line in the irev file to: put $_GET["foldername"] into tFolderName Then test that this still writes to the correct file. Just build up the structure gradually until it does everything you need.
