save txt files to folders

[Guest_imported]

if i want to save a txt file to the server by using php i normally write:

if ($file=fopen("usernumber.txt", "w&quot) {


fwrite ($file, "text=$x"

the file usernumber.txt is written
but i want this file to be written in a folder called users,
what should i write then /users/usernumber.txt ???

Thx

Yes, that will work, along with you could use PHP's chdir() function to change the current directory to the users directory.

Like so:

[tt]
chdir("users"
[/tt]

Will change to the users directory. Hope this helps.

Be careful!

If you use /users/usernumber.txt, you are telling PHP to write the file usernumber.txt in a folder called users under the root location instead of your document root.

If you are looking to save the file in a folder called users within your document root (say you have all of your web site content under /home/site/, you could do one of the two methods:

if ($file=fopen("/home/site/users/usernumber.txt", "w")) {
     fwrite ($file, "text=$x");
}

or

if ($file=fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/users/usernumber.txt", "w")) {
     fwrite ($file, "text=$x");
}
