Question

Im using the following php to send the contents of an HTML <form> to a text file:

$filename =  "polls"."/".time() .'.txt';
    if (isset($_POST["submitwrite"])) {
        $handle = fopen($filename,"w+");
        if ($handle) {
            fwrite($handle, $_POST["username"]."¬".$_POST["pollname"]."¬".$_POST["ans1"]."¬".$_POST["ans2"]."¬".$_POST["ans3"]."¬".time());
            fclose($handle);
        }

At the same time as creating the text file, with the contents of the form, I also want to write the time() to a file which already exists, So will use ‘a+’. They will need to be stored as comma seperated values.

Can anyone suggest how I can do this at the same time?

Just open two files:

$handle1 = fopen($filename1, "w+");
$handle2 = fopen($filename2, "a+");
if ($handle1 && $handle2) {
    fwrite($handle1, $_POST["username"]."¬".$_POST["pollname"]."¬".$_POST["ans1"]."¬".$_POST["ans2"]."¬".$_POST["ans3"]."¬".time());
    fwrite($handle2, time() + "\n");
}
if ($handle1) {
    fclose($handle1);
}
if ($handle2) {
    fclose($handle2);
}
