I've made this script and I just wanted it to get checked before I fuck up my total internet domain. Will this work? It should add a simple string to the end of a file and change the content of another file (increment the number that the file contains).

CODE

<?

$fstring = "This is just a string.";

$fnum_1 = include("http://twizzle.koeniedesign.com/counter.txt"); // counter.txt is a file with a number used for other purposes.
$fnum_2 = intval($fnum1) + 1;

$fo_1 = fopen("http://twizzle.koeniedesign.com/comlib.js/", "a"); // comlib.js is a file that stores all the strings
$fw_1 = fwrite($fo_1, $fstring);
fclose($fo_1);
 
$fo_2 = fopen("http://twizzle.koeniedesign.com/counter.txt/", "w");
$fw_2 = fwrite($fo_2, $fnum_2);
fclose($fo_2);

?>

a little advice koenie smile.gif

if you want to know if something works, it's best to test it.

If you don't want to test it on your important stuff, either make a straight copy of it, or just make some new smaller files to test it on. I don't see anything wrong with the code, but you never know, it's easy to miss stuff out.

Perhaps instead of http://blabla.com u should use /home/html/counter.txt... it's more safe and more reliable to work.

well i dont know what they are talking about. you are using the absolute address...

absolute :

say i was linking from my capty99.com index and i wanted to open something in a folder named fish and open a file called fish.html
something like
<a href="http://www.capty99.com/fish/fish.html">fish.html</a>

thats how it would look right?

well a relative would be
<a href="/fish/fish.html">fish.html</a>

it just looks for a fish folder and a fish.html from wherever you have the page containing the link. you just have to be more careful with your file placement then.

but you have that correct and fyrestorm screwed up somewhere in his post.

yes, you need to chmod the files you want to write too.

also, I noticed this:

twizzle.koeniedesign.com/comlib.js/

is that last backslash meant to be there?

you have one on two of the links.
