Question about File Creation

[kudzugazette]

So I would like it so that a user can input something into a textbox, type a name for the file, and the file is saved in a subdirectory marked content. For example, if I picked the name of the file to be test.txt, I want the file to be saved in content/test.txt. I can't figure out how to save the file in that directory without putting the script in that directory.

What I have:
[PHP]$filename = $_POST['title'];
$text = $_POST['content'];

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w");
if ($fp) {
fwrite ($fp, $text);
fclose ($fp);
echo ("Content Added.");
}
else {
echo ("Error.");
}[/PHP]

Why not add the path to the filename? suppose the directory is /var/www/upload/content, you can add the path when creating the file.

<?php
$filename = '/var/www/upload/content/' . $_POST['title'];
$fp = fopen ($filename, "w");
 
/* ...the rest of your code... */
 
?>

You should also be able to use a relative path.
Meaning that if your script is in /var/www/html/ and you want your content in
/var/www/html/content/, you could simply prefix your file name with content/.
