Im new to PHP, but used to Java. I have a file, dd-functions.php that contains a function (writeToLog). This function will create a variable with the log-statement, then write it to a file.
The strange thing is that this works perfectly when it is called from one php-file (file1.php), but when called from another php-file (file2.php), it does not write anything to the file. In both file1.php and file2.php, the functions.php is included once.
How is this even possible?
Function.php
/* Log for user */
function writeToLog($user, $analyseName, $remaining_downloads) {
$uid = $user->ID;
$userdata = get_userdata($uid);
if ($userdata->first_name) {
$username = $userdata->first_name . ' ' . $userdata->last_name;
} else {
$username = $userdata->user_login;
}
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Oslo');
$date = date('d.m.Y H:i:s');
$s2member_access_level = get_user_field ("s2member_access_level", $uid);
$userLog = $uid . "\t" . $date . "\t" . $username . "\t" . $user->user_email . "\t" . $analyseName . "\t" . $remaining_downloads . "\t" . $s2member_access_level . "
";
file_put_contents('analyse-email-click-log.txt', $userLog , FILE_APPEND);
}
You can extend the file with a hierarchy or you only have to include this file with the include statement.
Hierarchy
<?php
class ClassA extends ClassB {
}
Include
log.php
<?php
$logA = 'mylogA';
$logB = 'otherlog';
?>
test.php
<?php
include 'log.php';
echo "Show my $logA";
?>
This may be because of your relative path to analyse-email-click-log.txt.
If you have three php files like this
/lib.php
/foo.php
/sub/bar.php
Let writeToLog reside in lib.php and include the /lib.php file from /foo.php and /sub/bar.php. If you run /foo.php, it will write to /analyse-email-click-log.txt but if you run /sub/bar.php it will write to /sub/analyse-email-click-log.txt, which may be protected by write permissions.
