$fp = fopen(position.txt,"w+");

[till]

hi this is till again.!

i have a question about the following:


<?
$NewPositions = "Objectx=$delta_x&Objecty=$delta_y";

   $fp = fopen(position.txt,"w+");
   fwrite($fp, $NewPositions, 800);
   fclose( $fp );
   $result=" neue Position gespeichert ";

    print "&result=".$result;

?>

fla:

loadVariablesNum("position.txt?Ran="+random(999), 0)

thats how it works i thought.

BUT: on calling php , it creats a new file : positiontxt (datei)(witout ".")

so i  chanched the fla to:  loadVariablesNum("positiontxt?Ran="+random(999), 0)

it works. but i dont understand why.

till.

Hi,

you should have written "position.txt" or 'position.txt' in your code.
Also, change the w+ into w - there is nothing in your code using the + part anyway

hi musicman!

thats the reason why im asking.
the example saves the new position in a text file. its only a part of whole.
every new position will be wrote in the textfile and delet the old one.


but when i use      position.txt       the php creates  positiontxt.dat      ( or              something)  

and the position.txt is not in use;


thats why i chanched the fla also. why does it work like this?
i tried   r+   and  a+ .
i wanted to use        position.txt         but php ignores it and creates positiontxt.
understandable?

Hi,

the filename is, technically, a string constant - that is why you should write it in quotes.
It is very similar to the
"result=" or "neue Position gespeichert"
pieces in your code.
All of the + file modes deal with reading and writing the same file _during the same script_; your code is just writing the file, and either a different script or an swf will read the file at a later time.
You should use just "w" for writing

Hi,
just to explain, why the dot gets lost:

If you don' write a dot inside quotes, it means in php "concatinat two strings together".
Thats why!
