I created a form that asks for the users 1st and last
name. I than try and attempt to save this data to a
file. Next, I'd like to read the data from this file
and write its contents to the browser.
I only get so far before I get a wierd response after
hitting the submit button:
Resource id #3
See code below:
<?php
$firstnm = $_POST['firstnm']; //creates 1st var
$lastnm = $_POST['lastnm']; //create 2nd var
$filename = "names.txt"; //creates file to write the
//above variable values to
print "writing to $names.txt";
$fp = fopen( "names.txt", "w" ) or die("couldn't open
$names"); //opens the file I created
fwrite( $fp, "$firstnm\n" , "$lastnm"); //I don't know
//if this is right, but I attempt to write the
//variables to the file //here.
fclose( $fp ); //close the file
print "$fp_names"; //attempt to print the files
//contents to the browser here- but it does not work
$contents = file_get_contents( "names.txt" );
//attempts to read from file
print "$contents"; //attempts to display contents to
//browser
?>
