File Upload and Creating Text File Coding
 

Hello All,

I am working on the file at allow user to upload multimedia files to a specific folder on my server. After that, those files will be streamed back to the forum on random.

I am finished with the upload coding. However, I don't want to reveal the location of the files. I want to create stream files like rmx, mpx, etc. These files are just text files which will be stored in a different folder.

The problem is I don't know how to create these text files on the fly with php.

Would you please provide me some example or codes.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Urghhh I didn't know that I created this thread in wrong forum. Please move it if it is not supposed to be here

I found this piece of example

<php
$filename ="romulus.txt"; // First assign a name (and also a path if the file will not be in the
// same directory) to the file that we're going to create.

$myFile= fopen($filename,'a'); // Open the file for writing

if(! $myFile){ // Make sure the file was opened successfully

print ("File could not be opened.");

exit;
}

$string = "According to the Roman legend, Romulus was the founder of Rome
and Remus was his twin brother. Their story begins with their grandfather
Numitor, king of the ancient Italian city of Alba Longa, was deposed by
his brother Amulius. Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, was made a Vestal
Virgin by Amulius - this means that she was made a priestess of the
godess Vesta and forbidden to marry. Nevertheless, Mars, the god of war,
fell in love with her and she gave birth to twin sons."; // Create data to be added to the text file.

fputs($myFile, $string); // Write the data ($string) to the text file

fclose($myFile); // Closing the file after writing data to it
?>

Thanks
