I am getting this error:

Warning: fopen(http://www.****.com/scorekeeper/playerfiles/jason.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /home/witakr/public_html/scorekeeper/processpoints.php on line 33

when i run this code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$sitepath = "http://www.****.com/scorekeeper/";

  if( !$playername ) {
   echo "You need to enter a playername";
   exit; }

  if( $addpoints <= 0 or !$addpoints ) {
   echo "You need to enter a points value that is greater than zero.<br><a href='".$sitepath."index.php'>[ Go Back ]</a>";
   exit; }
   
    $pnlower = strtolower($playername);
    $playerfile = "playerfiles/".$pnlower.".txt";
   

    echo $playername."<br>";
    echo $addpoints."<br>";
    echo "File name: ".$playerfile;

  


    $ps = fopen("$sitepath$playerfile", "w");
    
    
?>

Can someone help me find my problem? I just don't see it

thanks

Open the file in rb mode, and not w.

PHP Code:

$ps = fopen("$sitepath$playerfile", "rb"); 

EDIT:

Is that your whole code? If you want to write to the file, it needs to be on your server and you have to use the path without the http.

If you just want to read from the file you need to open it in "read" mode, and it should work with http paths, as long as allow_url_fopen is enabled in your php.ini file.

Yes, Im trying to Open, write/overwrite, close and then open, read, echo later on

But I am learning this as i go... I havent written php in about 2 years and even then i only knew how to use flat files.. no sql...lol... but I am in the process of learng the write and read parts...lol... I have atut book for php but if you could offer any suggestions.. it would be great

Ok, I added write code and its not producing an error but its not writing either

PHP Code:

<?php
$sitepath = "http://www.****.com/scorekeeper/";

  if( !$playername ) {
   echo "You need to enter a playername<br><a href='".$sitepath."index.php'>[ Go Back ]</a>";
   exit; }

  if( $addpoints <= 0 or !$addpoints ) {
   echo "You need to enter a points value that is greater than zero.<br><a href='".$sitepath."index.php'>[ Go Back ]</a>";
   exit; }
   
    $pnlower = strtolower($playername);
    $playerfile = "playerfiles/".$pnlower.".txt";
   

    echo $playername."<br>";
    echo $addpoints."<br>";
    echo "File name: ".$playerfile;

  


    $ps = fopen("$playerfile", "rb");
    if(!$ps){
      echo "Unable to write to file(".$playerfile.", Contact system administrator";
      }
      else {
     $scorewrite = $playername." - ".$addpoints;
    fwrite($ps, $scorewrite);
    fclose($ps);
    }
?>
