create file in another directory with php

Question

My folder structure is like -

root
  admin
    create_page.php
  pages
    my_page1.php
    my_page2.php

I have code for creating a new php fi

Answer 1

Here's an example using the more simpler file_put_contents() wrapper for fopen,fwrite,fclose

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$pagename = 'my_page1';

$newFileName = './pages/'.$pagename.".php";
$newFileContent = '<?php echo "something..."; ?>';

if (file_put_contents($newFileName, $newFileContent) !== false) {
    echo "File created (" . basename($newFileName) . ")";
} else {
    echo "Cannot create file (" . basename($newFileName) . ")";
}
?>

Answer 2

Had the same Problem, File will not be created in a folder having different permission, make sure the permissions of the folders are same like other files.

Answer 3

$ourFileHandle = fopen("../pages/" .$ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

Make the above change to the third line and it will probably work; I tried it and it worked.

Answer 4

Try this

$pagename = 'your_filename';
$newFileName = '../pages/'.$pagename.".php";

Answer 5

have you deliberately missed out on concatinating $dir_path and $ourFileName;

now

1. is your directory/file writable?
2. check for your current working directory
3. is your error_reporting on ?
