Advanced PHP FILE NEWS SYSTEM QUESTION

yea, i don't think you have the file there. it needs to be there in order for the script to work.

how do i set the txt file to 666?

it still says this

Warning: fopen("news.txt", "a+") - Permission denied in /home/rant-on/public_html/micro/news.php on line 2

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/rant-on/public_html/micro/news.php on line 5

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/rant-on/public_html/micro/news.php on line 6

you need to set it to 777, right click on it in your ftp client and choose 777 or 0777 whichever it is.

666 if your host doesn't allow chmod files to 777.
777 = writable, executable, readable
666 = writable, readable

Most FTP programs will allow you to chmod your files

i will try on ws ftp pro
and thanks all if that dont work then i guess my hosts need to get a highier ver of php and apache....
and squid i love ur shout box but will u tell me how u did that random splash sig........i know with php and i know of several scripts to make it random but when i type it in my profile it just comes out as code.....later

i put in an iframe that points to the php code on my server.

I believe your running the code on Windows, if so, you don't need to set the permissions (CHMOD). Why don't you try changing your fopen call to this:

[php]$fp = fopen("./news.txt", "w");[/php]

hunk, though you are the team's master of php :D i modified his script on windows and ran it on apache on windows (my machine) and then uploaded it to my host (unix) and both worked. so he's definitely doing something wrong. :(
