Simple PHP Question
Ok here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Test Page </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo date("H:i");
echo gmdate("M d Y");
$counter_file = "count.dat";
if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("Cannot open $counter_file.");
$counter = (int) fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
$counter++;
echo "You're visitor No. $counter.";
$fp = fopen($counter_file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $counter);
fclose($fp);
?>
</body>
</html>
this makes output saying:
18:32Mar 12 2007You're visitor No. 5.
how can i make it so that they are on different lines, e.g
18:32
Mar 12 2007
You're visitor No. 5.

ah yes :)
now heres a harder question, my site now looks like this
<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Test Page </title>
</head>
<body>
<h3><b><u>James Computers Order Form</u></b></h3>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<select name="item">
<option>Computers</option>
<option>Monitors</option>
<option>PDA's</option>
</select>
Quantity: <input name="quantity" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
echo date("H:i");
echo ", ";
echo gmdate("M d Y");
$counter_file = "count.dat";
if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("<p><h4>Cannot open $counter_file.</h4></p>");
$counter = (int) fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
$counter++;
echo "<p><h4>You are visitor number $counter</h4></p>";
$fp = fopen($counter_file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $counter);
fclose($fp);
?>
</body>
</html>
process.php looks like this:
<html>
<body>
<?php
$quantity = $_POST['quantity'];
$item = $_POST['item'];
echo "You ordered ". $quantity . " " . $item . ".";
echo "Thank you for ordering from James Computers!";
?>
</body>
</html>

As long as you supply the correct path to your database and the correct password.
Then select the correct database you should be good to go.
