Thread: (Fopen a Variable) Issue

Copy/pasted from my post at php-forum.com My issue is this: I have a simple text input box that feeds to this page. The Variable is $username. Everything is going great until I try to make a text file named after the entered username (future plans will write password to it). Below is the isolated "problem" code. Thanks for the help!

PHP Code:

$ourFileName = $username".txt"; //issue here
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("Cannot Create Account. Please Try Again.");
fclose($ourFileHandle);
] 


At first line of your PHP code put a dot(.) after variable $username.

PHP Code:

$ourFileName = $username.".txt"; //Put a dot to join string.
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("Cannot Create Account. Please Try Again.");
fclose($ourFileHandle);
]
