    saving data from a form into a seperate .html file

    I wrote this script here but I cannot get the script to save to the
    correct month.html. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code?

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Monthl y Bills</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <center><font size="4">Total Monthly Bills</font>
    <form action="billcal culation.php" method="POST">
    <br>
    <select name="months">
    <option value="January" name="month">Ja nuary</option>
    <option value="February " name="month">Fe bruary</option>
    <option value="March" name="month">Ma rch</option>
    <option value="April" name="month">Ap ril</option>
    <option value="May" name="month">Ma y</option>
    <option value="June" name="month">Ju ne</option>
    <option value="July" name="month">Ju ly</option>
    <option value="August" name="month">Au gust</option>
    <option value="Septembe r" name="month">Se ptember</option>
    <option value="October" name="month">Oc tober</option>
    <option value="November " name="month">No vember</option>
    <option value="December " name="month">De cember</option>
    </select><br><br>
    <table border="0">
    <td>Rent:</td><td><input type="text" name="apartment _rent"
    size="5"></td><tr>
    <td>Water & Sewage</td><td><input type="text" name="water_sew age"
    size="5"></td><tr>
    <td>Cell Phone:</td><td><input type="text" name="cell_phon e"

    <td><center><in put type="submit" name="submit"
    action="submit" ></center></td><td><input type="reset" name="reset"
    action="reset"> </td></table>
    </center></form>
    <center><font size="4">Monthl y Bills for 2005-2006</font><br><br>

    <?php

    $fp = fopen("$_POST['month'] . ".html","a+ ");
    $output = print "TEST";



    $apartment_rent = $_POST['apartment_rent '];
    $water_sewage = $_POST['water_sewage'];
    $cell_phone = $_POST['cell_phone'];
    $cable_internet = $_POST['cable_internet '];

    $total_monthly_ bill = $apartment_rent + $water_sewage + $cell_phone +
    $cable_internet ;

    print "Bills for <b>{$_POST['months']}</b><br>";
    print "Apartment rent: $apartment_rent <br>";
    print "Water and sewage: $water_sewage <br>";
    print "Verizon cell phone bill: $cell_phone <br>";
    print "Time Warner cable bill: $cable_internet <br>";
    print "Total monthly payment: $total_monthly_ bill <br>";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

              There are five quotes(") here. I can hardly imagine that is right.

                  Yep, make it:

                  $fp = fopen($_POST['month'] . ".html","a+ ");

                      ok that worked i changed the code a little bit, now I'm getting an
                      error like this:
                      Fatal error: Function name must be a string in
                      /usr/local/www/billcalculation .php on line 36

                      $fp = fopen($_POST['month'] . ".html","a+ ");
                      $fwrite ($fp, $data);
                      fclose($fp);

                      $data = print "Apartment: $apartment_rent "; //want it to print that to
                      the new .html file.

                          This is not a PHP problem.

                              A few things:
                              1. Read http://www.safalra.com/special/googlegroupsreply/ about how to
                              use Google groups.
                              2. I hope you defined $data before you try to write it to the new html-file.
                              3. (By far the most important point.) The print function outputs the
                              given string as normal html, i.e. you will see it in your browser if you
                              open billcalculation .php . The statement above assigns the result of the
                              print function (which is always the integer 1) to $data. Hence, the
                              number 1 should be written to the new html-file. Instead use
                              $data="Apartmen t: $apartment_rent ";
                              $fwrite ($fp, $data);
                              (And if you want to show it in billcalculation .php as well, throw in
                              print $data; )

                              Hope this helps.
