Re: fopen problem

Hi, I can't see anythinng wrong with your fputs statement. What's the exact errormessage you get? You can try this: $file = fopen($file,"w"); if($file) { fputs(...); } to make sure you actually open a file for writing. wieger > Hi all. > > I know this is probably a dumb question, but hey, I'm new! > > I am writing a script that I need to write a text file to save a "chapter" > submitted from a form...
