PHP cannot write to text file

Question

I have the following code which I am using in WordPress/Woocommerce:

function generatePassword($length = 6) {
$characters = \'0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy         


        

Answer 1

You have to provide Web server path of actual file location path in your server instead of url.

$test = 'http://advokatami.bg/ot/a/docs/test/test.txt';

Replace it by Server path

$test = '<location_of_your_webroot_folder_in_server>/ot/a/docs/test/test.txt';

Make sure test have permission for read and write publicly.

How can you check your folder path?

1) Make test.php file in ot folder with below code

<?php
echo dirname(__FILE__);
die();

2) Upload it in ot folder.

3) execute file from browser http://advokatami.bg/ot/test.php

4) Copy path before \ot\.... and replace it on <location_of_your_webroot_folder_in_server>.
