File open with 4.1

I'm now using $S_REQUEST to pass things on a win32 with apache and php4.1. In touching stuff up on the isp however, things are incompatible. I have gone to using $HTTP_POST_VAR, etc. instead, so when the isp goes to 4.1 we only need to replace them with $_REQUEST. Is that the way to go? Now a new thing. I have gotten to this point where everything is on the page but it doesn't open the file. Is there some more conversion needed re 4.1? It would be nice to know just yes or no. tks... $textfile = fopen($filename,'w'); if(!($textfile)) { print("The File could not be opened."); exit; } if($text > "") // write a line to the file { fputs($textfile, (stripslashes($text))); } fclose($textfile); Floyd --
