Your string variable needs to be defined and referenced as $string not just string - unless this is a typo in your post . fwrite() returns an int - you are assigning this int to $contents - what exactly are you expecting $contents to be set to? . Does your user or web server process have the permissions to create files in the directory? . What does readfile('sandrew.html'); after your fclose($fp) return? HTH Rich
