error message - Writing PHP

Posted by bschultz (bschultz), 24 February 2003

I'm getting the following error message on a script.

Warning: main(testphp) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\sports\softball\statstest.php on line 17

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'testphp' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\sports\softball\statstest.php on line 17

Here's the code:
Code:

<?php
require test.php?>

<?php print$_POST['T1']?>; size="27"
<?php print$_POST['T2']?>;" size="13"

<?php print$_POST['T3']?> size="13"

<?php print$_POST['T4']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T5']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T6']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T7']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T8']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T9']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T10']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T11']?> size="4"

<?php print$_POST['T12']?> size="4"

Here is code for stats.php:

Code:

<?php
$filename = 'test.php';
$somecontent = "$_POST[$T1], $_POST[T2], $_POST[T3], $_POST[T4], $_POST[T5]";

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$fp = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}

// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (!fwrite($fp, $somecontent)) {
print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}

print "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

fclose($fp);

} else {
print "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

Any ideas?

Is the first file called "statstest.php" and have you supplied a sample starting at line 17?

I think that
require test.php
should read
require "test.php"

Note the extra quotes. The "." without the quotes is a string concatanation operator, thius making up a file name testphp (note no . in the name) which couldn't be found ....

That was it, Thanks Graham.

Thanks! Thought it had to be something simple.
