Problems with fopen

It keeps reporting problems with line 5 in this code..


<?php

$file = fopen("num.txt", "r+")

fputs($file, "$file++");

fclose($file);

echo ($file);

?>


Whats the big problem?

missing a semi colon on line 3

Yeah.. finally spotted that heh...

But now I am getting weird results..

When I run it I get a print out of this..


Resource id #2


The original file has the number "100" in it & this is what I get by adding +1 to it????

All I am trying to do is increnement the files number by 1 & then get that new number in a variable.

fopen links $file to a resourceid which is the pointer to the files internal position you would then need to use fread() to read the content using the $file resouceid and a loop

a better way to read the contents of the file in to a string is below

<?php
$file="num.txt";
$content = file_get_contents($file);
$content++;
$resourceid = fopen($file, "w");
fputs($resourceid, $content);
fclose($resourceid);
echo ($content);

Ahh.. I see what you mean! :-)

Thanks for the code, works good! :)
