I have the following code:
<?php
$myfile = fopen("code2.css", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
$txt = "John Doe\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
$txt = "Jane Doe\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
?>
?>
code2.css is in the same folder as my PHP file, but it throws me:
Unable to open file all the time.
How can I fix this?
Update: After playing with permissions the error dissapeared, but still my file won't be updated.
Check the properties of code2.css. You must found the "read only" permission to it, and change it to "Read and Write". After that your code will work.
If you are using a Linux system, then execute:
sudo chmod 777 code2.css
<?php
$myfile = fopen("code2.css", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
$txt = "John Doe\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
$txt = "Jane Doe\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);//just removed the closing php tag from here and it is working fine
?>
Original Poster :D That's you in this case (meta.stackexchange.com/q/146513)fopen() returns false and generates an E_WARNING alert on fail.
You should begin with displaying all warnings, you'll get more information on the issue:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
Please post the warning. Probably rights on your file or folder. Please make sure your webserver has write rights on it. What system are you running your localhost on?
