HELP: Server Can't Find PHP file

[psjtk]

Hi, I have an html page with a form that people fill out and when they press 'submit' I use a POST php method to save the information they entered onto a .csv file in the directory in my server. The php code is in a separate file that I call from the HTML page. However, I'm getting a 404 error saying that the php file which handles all that input cannot be found.


THIS IS THE Javascript ON THE HTML DOCUMENT THAT GETS ALL THE VALUES FROM THE FORM WHEN THE SUBMIT BUTTON IS PRESSED:

//FUNCTION: Button press
var demogCont = function(){
var timestamp = new Date().getTime();
var age = document.getElementById('age').value;
var freq = document.demographics.item1.value;
var time = document.demographics.item2.value;
var eng = document.demographics.eng.value;
var email = document.demographics.email.value;
var demogs = [[age, freq, time, eng, email]];
var JSONdemogs = JSON.stringify(demogs);
var postArray = {timestamp:timestamp, json:JSONdemogs};
if (document.demographics.email.value.length > 0){
$.post("demogstore.php", postArray,
function(){
window.open('demographics2.html?demog=true&ts='+ timestamp,'_self',false);
}
)
.error(
function(){
alert('Communication error with server.');
window.open('demographics2.html?demog=true&ts='+ timestamp,'_self',false)
}
)
}
};

THE PHP FILE LOOKS LIKE THIS

PHP Code:

<?php

// decode JSON string to PHP object
$timestamp = json_decode($_POST["timestamp"]);
$decoded = json_decode($_POST["json"]);



$fp = fopen('PHP_data'.$timestamp.'_data.csv', 'a');



foreach ($decoded as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}


fclose($fp);

?>

The file path and the file name are correct. Does anyone know what could be causing this error?

what exactly is the error or is it a warning or notice. Is it that the file cannot be found or the fopen failed.

Please post the extact message you are getting, take out anything personal from the notice for security of course.

Is it that the fopen failed check permission. And also check your ini to make sure you are not blocking it.

Also i think if you called a php file with javascript its a javascript question not a php question.

can you echo $decoded;

PHP Code:


$decoded = json_decode($_POST["json"]);
echo $decoded;
//may need
print_r ($decoded); 


what does it output?
