Is this a direct copy of what you've got? If so, line 11 shouldn't be there

Hi all, would be very greatful if someone could hlp. Basically I want to extract information from Mysql, and then write it to a file. I can write state pieces of text, but having trouble with writing when the information comes out in a while loop. This is what I hhave so far: -------------------- $result=mysql_query("SELECT topicid FROM $topicdb limit 50"); $file_name = "topics.html"; $file_pointer = fopen($file_name, "w"); while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { extract($r); $the_text = "$topicid<br>"; fwrite($file_pointer, $the_text); "; } fclose($file_pointer); print "data written to file successfuly"; ---------------------------- but that doesn't seem to work, it only writes the first time, and doesn't add the rest of the loops. anyone help please? sunny -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
