Got it working fellas. It was, after all the effort, a cookie issue. Go figure! Thanks all!

Sorry for the poor subject line. My brain is fried from trying to find an answer to my problem and I just couldnt think of a short way of putting this. Basically, I am attempting to write code that a download manager can understand, so to speak. My links on my site are as such...

I have never had a need for one so all I can do is point you to google. I looked at the one by "Chipmunks". Seemed ok, but I am no expert on topsites. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+php+scripts+topsites IamStang

Assuming the username is being passed by a field named "username" in a submitted form: <?php $username = $_POST['username']; $path = "/var/www/html/userz/".$username."/"; if(isset($username)){ echo "The path to the directory is ".$path; } ?> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="test.php"> <input...

Have a look at this page of the manual. Specifically the part on "getcwd". If your still having trouble after reading that, let us know. Someone will help ya out. The Page: http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/ref.dir.php Later! IamStang

If I am understanding you correctly, this is what I would do. As was stated above by kenrbnsn, using a text box and letting the individual decide what to insert is a bad idea (IMHO). I would use an option pulldown. Use something like this near the begining of your script. $domain =...

Easiest way I can think of would be using a meta-refresh. See Here: http://www.submitcorner.com/Guide/Meta/refresh.shtml IamStang

Thanks! I figured it out using the dirname() function.

I have a problem that I hope someone can help me out with. I need to write a variable like the one below to a file. Currently, I am trying to do this similar to as shown below, to no avail: $dirPath = "C:\script_pages\myPHPscript\"; $userName = "Bob"; //Could be anything. $EmpHTMLFile =...

For crying out loud! Why didnt it occur to me to use a foreach statement? After all, I just got through coding another part of my script using it. LOL Thanks DRJ478 for hooking the truck up and pulling my head out.

Using the following example: $myFile = "optionList.txt"; $myOptions = fopen($myFile, "r"); $lock = flock($myOptions, LOCK_SH); if ($lock) { $options_read = fread($myOptions, filesize($myFile)); $lock = flock($myOptions, LOCK_UN); } fclose($myOptions); $exp_Options = explode(","...

Thanks for the reply. The file I am working with should never be more than 20 or so lines, so I dont believe size will be an issue. And, as it always seems to work out, I have found information, just a few minutes ago, regarding this. It never fails. I spend days trying to figure it out on my...

I know it is possible but I am finding very little information pertaining to my question. Everything tells one how to read/write/append to a txt file. I dont know, maybe I am just not looking in the right places. What I am trying to accomplish is this: I have a txt file. It is formatted...

Nevermind. Delete this thread if ya want

I have a problem with a cgi script not being allowed to create/write to a txt file. The Scenario: A Linux/Apache server with SeLinux disabled (temporarily) A cgi script that creates a new txt file containing info submitted by a visitor (ipaddy_data.txt) When I load the cgi in my browser, I get...
