writing files to a choosen directory

[Ian Davies]

Hello
I have the following code which changes directory, creates a file and then
writes rows to it. It works fine except the file is created in the folder
the php script is in instead of the download directory specified in the
scrip. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong
Also I want to show the question Index and Question on screen as a list.
Ive put

echo $nt['QuestionIndex'], $nt['Question'];

here <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< in the script
but it doesnt work, any ideas?

Ian

******************************
$query= "SELECT * FROM Questions WHERE NCIndex='".$_SESSION['NCI']."' AND
QuestionIndex IN (".join(",", $_SESSION['questions']).") ORDER BY
QuestionIndex";

$rt=mysql_query($query)
or die(mysql_error());
echo mysql_error();

if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "../htdocs/Downloads")) {
echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n";

}else {
echo "Couldn't change directory\n";
}
$fp = fopen('ptq'.$_SESSION['username'].time().'.txt', 'w')
or die('Could not open the text file for writing');
while ($nt = mysql_fetch_array($rt, MYSQL_NUM)){

$line = "INSERT INTO tQuestions VALUES ('', '" .
implode("', '", $nt) .
"');\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $line);
echo $nt['QuestionIndex'], $nt['Question']; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
}
fclose($fp);

Your code opens an ftp connection, but it doesn't write to it. it does
change the directory in the ftp-connection, but that is irrelevant if you
are writing to a local file. Just change the code to $fp =
fopen('../htdocs/Downloads/ptq'.$_SESSION['username'].time().'.txt', 'w'));
and remove the ftp-stuff, and you're good to go.

That gives the following message

Warning: fopen(../htdocs/Downloads/ptqiandandav1131304863.txt): failed to
open stream: No such file or directory in
e:\domains\i\iddsoftware.co.uk\user\htdocs\Questio nDB\notify.php on line 43
Could not open the text file for writing

but the directory does exist

Is the file local if its in a directory on my hosts server ?
