Hey all i have an error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /Volumes/MACSERVER/MAMPM/DATA/vocabulary/admin.php on line 4

the line is
$file=fopen("$_GET['filename']","w") or exit("Unable to open file!");

Just by looking at it , you should not have quotes aroud $_GET

instead you should just do :

PHP Code:


			
$file=fopen($_GET['filename'],"w") or exit("Unable to open file!");

or you could do this look like this

Code:

$filename=$_GET['filename'];
$file=fopen($filename,"w") or exit("Unable to open file!");
