File system functions. fopen the file you want to put the data in, fwrite the values from the variable(s) to the file and fclose the file at the end of the process. Note the ways you can open a file with fopen; and be aware of file permission problems because this is done as the user the web server runs as (*nix, dunno about windows). -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
