PHP help

Ok. I'm a newbie so be nice. I have the following code and I'm trying to write to following attending.txt file and I keep getting permissions denied. An help would be appreciated.

if (empty($_GET['name']) || !isset($_GET['attendance']))
echo "<p>You must enter your name and specify whether you will attend! Click your browser's Back button to return to the RSVP form.</p>";
else if ($_GET['attendance'] == "yes" && !is_numeric($_GET['guests']))
echo "<p>Please specify the number of guests who will accompany you! Click your browser's Back button to return to the RSVP form.</p>";
else {
if ($_GET['attendance'] == "yes") {
$YesFile = fopen("attending.txt", "w");
if (file_put_contents($YesFile, addslashes($_GET['name']) . ", " . $_GET['guests'] . "\r\n", FILE_APPEND))
echo "<p>Thanks for RSVP'ing! We're looking forward to seeing you!</p>";
else
$YesFile = fopen("attending.txt", "w");
echo "<p>Cannot save to the $YesFile file.</p>";
}
if ($_GET['attendance'] == "no") {
$NoFile = "notattending.txt";
if (file_put_contents($NoFile, addslashes($_GET['name']) . "\n", FILE_APPEND))
echo "<p>Thanks for RSVP'ing! Sorry you can't make it!</p>";
else
$NoFile = fopen("notattending.txt", "w");
echo "<p>Cannot save to the $NoFile file.</p>";
}
}
?>

 

make sure you have the permission to write to that folder?
chmod it to 777 and try it again.

and your if-else statement does not have curly brackets {} and that will make the code looks messy

 

Hi,
You are having a permissions error. Try changing the permissions using your control panel or FTP to 777.

Thanks

Thanks it was the {} problem. I'm getting more errors, but will work through them.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

i added the curly brackets for u. Try this but dun lose your original copy

if (empty($_GET['name']) || !isset($_GET['attendance'])) {
echo "<p>You must enter your name and specify whether you will attend! Click your browser's Back button to return to the RSVP form.</p>";
} elseif ($_GET['attendance'] == "yes" && !is_numeric($_GET['guests'])) {
echo "<p>Please specify the number of guests who will accompany you! Click your browser's Back button to return to the RSVP form.</p>";
} else {

if ($_GET['attendance'] == "yes") {
$YesFile = fopen("attending.txt", "w");
if (file_put_contents($YesFile, addslashes($_GET['name']) . ", " . $_GET['guests'] . "\r\n", FILE_APPEND)) {
echo "<p>Thanks for RSVP'ing! We're looking forward to seeing you!</p>";
} else {
$YesFile = fopen("attending.txt", "w");
echo "<p>Cannot save to the $YesFile file.</p>";
}
} elseif ($_GET['attendance'] == "no") {
$NoFile = "notattending.txt";
if (file_put_contents($NoFile, addslashes($_GET['name']) . "\n", FILE_APPEND)) {
echo "<p>Thanks for RSVP'ing! Sorry you can't make it!</p>";
} else {
$NoFile = fopen("notattending.txt", "w");
echo "<p>Cannot save to the $NoFile file.</p>";
}
}
}

PHP:

 

now I get this error.

Warning: file_put_contents() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /opt/iSpaceWeb/jdb06t/html/LIS5364/SendRSVP.php on line 28

Cannot save to the Resource id #4 file.

Thanks for your help. I had the $YesFile variable set incorrectly.

Thanks
