My request script is not working

Hi,
I've made a script which logs some information the quest has typed in a .txt file.
Here is the code im using:
This is what you posted: <br>
Username: <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>. <br>
Desired Password: <?php echo $_POST["password"]; ?> <br>
Email Adress: <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?> <br>
Portfolio Site: <?php echo $_POST["site"]; ?><br>
<br>
If this is invalid, please contact me, phpengine@hotmail.com <br>
This script will be on PHPEngine later. At the moment i only wrote it for job
requests.
<?php
$file = "jobs.txt"
$username = $_POST["name"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$site = $_POST["site"];

if(is_writable($file)){
$open = fopen($file,"a");
fwrite($open,$username);
fwrite($open,$password);
fwrite($open,$email);
fwrite($open,$site);
fclose($open);
}else{
chmod($file,0777) or die("Attempted to chmod the file, it was unsuccessful, please chmod ".$file." to 0777 yourself");
echo 'File was unwritable. Please refresh the page to try again';
}
?>

<?php
$file = fopen("jobs.txt", "w+"); //not sure about what access code you need so change this if needed
$username = $_POST["name"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$site = $_POST["site"];

if(is_writable($file)){
$open = fopen("$file", "a+");
fputs($open,$username);
fputs($open,$password);
fputs($open,$email);
fputs($open,$site);
fputs($open);
}else{
chmod($file,0777) or die("Attempted to chmod the file, it was unsuccessful, please chmod ".$file." to 0777 yourself");
echo 'File was unwritable. Please refresh the page to try again';
}
?>




make sure your files called by this script are in the same directory as this script. make sure the permissions are set according to these access modes ( read/write )

Thanks. But can you tell me what was wrong with my own one?

It's not working. This is what it logs:
Hü§à¢@-

MPCODER, you missed a semicolon at the end of this line:


$file = "jobs.txt"


Besides that, your script works fine. It only fails if "jobs.txt" does not exist, or if you haven't got the permission to change it's permissions.

There is an error in DsgnrsTLZAdmins script:


$file = fopen("jobs.txt", "w+");


Both for is_writable() and fopen() later the variable $file should be a string containing the filename, and not an already opened file. Change the line in question to


$file = "jobs.txt";

thanks mordred

Now my script works. But can someone tell me how to let it log so that there is a character between every option like if you type hello as username and bye as password it logs this: hello|bye|
