Re: Need your help again.. Sorry...

There's obviously something different that you're doing for the mail to the fputs. I don't why you'd run through the shopping cart items twice... instead, I'd build the message in little fragments: $msg =''; $msg .= "Name: {$name}\n\n"; $msg .= "Email: {$email}\n\n"; ... this would include you adding e4ach item from the shopping cart. then, when you send your mail: mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers); then, use the SAME $msg to write to the backup file. If you can get it right for the email, then the file write shouldn't cause any problems. justin on 21/07/02 12:18 PM, Wee Keat (weekeat@amorphosium.com) wrote: > Let me put it a little more detail here... > > I am trying to created an online ordering system where customers buy something > and dump them in a cart and later, when they are happy, they will submit the > order and 2 things will happen in one script: > > 1.
