If you are going to try to write the file using the fwrite() function I suggest you open the file in binary mode "wb". Also how are you trying to read the file. When you use the fwrite() function you can't view the file with a normal editor.

Also please show what you entered for the values.

i have not used fread function but i'll use it.bcz fwrite only is not workin.in file with name and other details so many zeroes are coming.
