php reading a text file ..... help hi, im having a bit of trouble learning php. My script is working but it is showing the amount of characters i am echoing out....heres the code.
$tireorder = 'you have ordered: '.$tireqty.' tires.' ;
//open the file and check to see if it exists//
$fp = fopen("file.txt","r+");
if(!$fp) {
echo "Your order could not be prossesed at this time";
exit;
}
//writing to a file//
fwrite($fp, $tireorder);
//closing the file//
fclose($fp);
//reading the file//
$data = @readfile("file.txt");
//echoing out//
echo $data;
?>
It writes to the text file - you have ordered: {tire amount} tires. {character amount}
Is there anyway to get rid of the character count?
all suggestions will help thanx

I dunno, maybe you just need to write to a file:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

Can you test my code on its own as a separate php file please?
When you have ran that script open the text file and tell me what you see?

ok, your code wrote it to the txt file perfectly but so did mine i added
<?php
$fp = fopen("file.txt","w") or die ("couldn't open!");
fwrite($fp, "blah\n");
fclose($fp);
echo $fp ;
?>
and all that echoed out was resourse id #1 ???

$fp = fopen("file.txt","w") or die ("couldn't open!");

fclose($fp);

In that case something else is counting the number of letters in your code when you are reading the thing back in.
