Help! I have no idea what PHP upgrade means. I've looked around the CP and can't find anything to configure PHP or request an upgrade.
In my CP stats it says - PHP version 5.2.6. Do I need to upgrade PHP?

Thanks :biggrin:

We offer basic, intermediate, and advanced php configurations.

For most people basic is good. If you get PHP errors request intermediate. You shouldn't need advanced.

Only request advanced if you are told to do so by a administrator.

Your syntax is wrong, try this.

Code: 
<?php
$a = 123;
echo "hello " . $a . '456';
?>

You missed the ; in the 2nd line.

Ok, how about this error?
Warning: fopen(http://rebol.pcriot.com/dic/new_test.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home/leke/public_html/submit_script.php on line 65

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/leke/public_html/submit_script.php on line 72

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/leke/public_html/submit_script.php on line 73

Is this more bad coding or a needed upgrade?
Here is my script - The file open stuff is near the end...
PHP:

// Connect to DB
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost",  "hidden", "hidden_too");
mysql_select_db("leke_reboldb", $conn);
if (!$conn) {
    die("Could not connect to DB: <br />" . mysql_error());
}
echo "Connected to DB successfully <br />";

$word = $_POST[word];
$code = $_POST[code];
$notes = $_POST[notes];

// INSERT data
$sql = "INSERT INTO user_form values ('', '$_POST[word]', '$_POST[code]', '$_POST[notes]')";
if (mysql_query($sql, $conn)) {

<?php

}
?>

$handle = fopen($fileName, 'x+');

if (file_exists($fileName)) {
// Do nothing :) zzz
}
else
{
fwrite($handle, "$new_file_content1 . $new_file_content2 . $new_file_content3");
fclose($handle);

You are opening a file using the http protocol. You need to open the file you are trying to write to as a local file.

aha, the error makes more sense now :) Thanks, I'll look into it.
Edit:
Thanks, everything seems to be working now - except, I can create new files, but I am having trouble writing content to them.

for example...
PHP: 
$handle = fopen($fileName, 'w'); // I tried 'a' and '+x' too.  

if (file_exists($fileName)) {
// Do nothing :) zzz
}
else
{
fwrite($handle, "$new_file_content1 . $new_file_content2 . $new_file_content3");
fclose($handle);
}
Am I making some obvious mistake here?
And thanks, I really appreciate all the help I've gotten here. You have been very nice and patient with me!
