I want to create a new file along with the the creation of a record in my db. The db part works fine, but the file part isn't working. I want to create a file in another folder in the root directory and I used the same code with changes in the file name. Despite setting ini_set('display_errors',3)
the code doesn't return any errors, I've also tried fopen($file_name,"w") or die("unable to open file")
, still the code ran. I've given IIS_IUSRS full control over the directory. Here is my code
$data = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($conn,"Select * from content where link='$url'")); //fetch data from db
$id = $data['id'];
$file_name="/files/$id.html"; //sets file name
$file = fopen($file_name,"w"); //creates the file
fwrite($file,$_POST['desc']); //writes to the file
fclose($file); //closes the file
