Question

I have this page called up.php that adds 1 to a txt file set with all permissions.

<?php

$name = file_get_contents("name.txt");

if(!file_exists('number.txt')){
file_put_contents('number.txt', ((int) file_get_contents('number.txt')) + 1);
header('Location: "$name.txt");
} 

?>

I have a form action button that runs this php page, however the browser comes back with this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /up.php on line 10.

I am lost here. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Answer 1

You’re just have unbalanced quotes, change header('Location: "$name.txt"); to header('Location: "$name.txt"');
