Code Link Popup

Hi

for some reason I cannot get this right, the file just does not get created. I am sure this must be possible. 

Language: PHP
function winOpen() 
	{
		window.open("
		<?php
			$readR = file_get_contents($_SERVER[';REQUEST_URI';]);
			$fileW = basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).".txt";
			file_put_contents($fileW,$readR);
			echo basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).".txt";
		?>
		","Code", scrollbars="1");
	}
</script>

There is no path to the file specified....

"Given a string containing a path to a file, this function will return the base name of the file."

It appears an overkill...

Hi Mac

Thanks, I just tried that even though it did not make sense to me. My problem is really the below part, the text file does not get created. 

Language: PHP
$readR = file_get_contents($_SERVER[';REQUEST_URI';]);
$fileW = basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).".txt";
file_put_contents($fileW,$readR);

Your problem may be this line - 

Language: PHP
$fileW = basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).".txt";


PHP_SELF returns the file suffix as well, so you are getting -

myFile.php.txt

You need to omit the .php suffix - 

Language: PHP
$fileW = basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';], ".php").".txt";

Should give -

myFile.txt

Hi Mac

thanks got it working. I dont mind the .php suffix. I am allowed to do this right? 

Language: PHP
<?php if(isset($_SESSION[';myusername';])){?>
<Script type="text/javascript">
 
function winOpen() 
	{
		window.open("<?php $readR = file_get_contents(basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]));$fileW = basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).';.txt';; file_put_contents($fileW,$readR);	echo basename($_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';]).';.txt';?>","Code", scrollbars="1");
 
	}
</script>
<?php } ?>

The problem was the JavaScript not being on the same line
