i am making a simple data base with a txt file i want to encode the data base with md5 check sums i kinda know how to do that im half way there on it. but the problem i am having is how to append data that a user has submited this is my html form theres nothing wrong with it

Code: [ Select ]
<html>
<body><center>
<form name="overfile" method="submit"
action="over.php"><input name="username"

type="text" value="create a user name"

/><br/><input name="pasword" type="password"

value=""/><input

type="submit"></form></center></body>
</html>
  1. <html>
  2. <body><center>
  3. <form name="overfile" method="submit"
  4. action="over.php"><input name="username"
  6. type="text" value="create a user name"
  8. /><br/><input name="pasword" type="password"

first you should say what is the error that you are getting. I just took a glance at it and i think that the error must have come about due to your file I/O scripting. When you post the error i will see what i can do.

Ok well you need to have your file look like this:
PHP Code: [ Select ]
<?php
 
$user = $_REQUEST["username"];
 
$pass = $_REQUEST["password"];
 
$f=fopen("over.txt", "w+");
 
$user . " " . md5($pass); // don't know wht your trying to do here?
 
?>
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. $user = $_REQUEST["username"];
  4.  
  5. $pass = $_REQUEST["password"];
  6.  
  7. $f=fopen("over.txt", "w+");
  8.  
  9. $user . " " . md5($pass); // don't know wht your trying to do here?
  10.  
  11. ?>

If you are wanting to write something to the file add:
PHP Code: [ Select ]
$content = "Message you want to add to the file.";
 
if(fwrite($f, $content) === FALSE) {
 
     echo "Cannot write to file.";
 
     exit;
 
} else {
 
     echo "Information successfully written.";
 
     fclose($f);
 
}
  1. $content = "Message you want to add to the file.";
  2.  
  3. if(fwrite($f, $content) === FALSE) {
  4.  
  5.      echo "Cannot write to file.";
  6.  
  7.      exit;
  8.  
  9. } else {
  10.  
  11.      echo "Information successfully written.";
  12.  
  13.      fclose($f);
  14.  
  15. }

Hope that helps you out some.
