The title isn't very descriptive, or accurate, so I will try to explain.

I'm not all that good at PHP so i'm trying to do things with the limited skill/knowledge I have.

I've created a file called directorate.php and I am trying to write both HTML AND user entered values to it. I have included the file on a page so the idea is for the Directors/CEO to be able to post notes. I will post some code to hopefully make more sense...

<?
$fn = "/home/vortex/public_html/news/bullet/directorate.php";

$title = stripslashes($_POST['mtitle']);
$body = stripslashes($_POST['mbody']);
$fp = fopen($fn,"r+") or die ("Error opening file in write mode!");

$htmlstart = "[TABLE][TR]\n[TD][IMG]img/lb_dec.jpg[/IMG][/TD] [TD]\n";

$htmlmiddle = "[/TD][TD]

[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]\n[TABLE]\n[TR][TD]
[TABLE][TR][TD]

";

$htmlend = "

[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]
[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]";

fwrite($fp, $htmlstart + $title + $htmlmiddle + $body + $htmlend);

fclose($fp) or die ("Error closing file!");
echo "";
echo "\n";
?>

In my view, which is probably wrong, this says "Write > HTML Start > User entered title > HTML Middle > User entered body (message) > HTML end.

It doesn't work and brings up junk characters and doesn't add all the HTML.

What's a better (or working) way to add HTML + User values to a document?

Thanks in advance

1) you should use '.' instead of '+' between stringed variables.
2) try echoing the full string(echo $htmlstart.$title.$htmlmiddle.$body.$htmlend, just to make sure that the string its going to write with is what you want before it gets written. This will help figure out where the problem is occurring.

That worked a treat, thanks :up:
