Write .txt extension for $filename

**Dormilich** · Apr 17 '10, 12:37 PM

what’s the problem?

you can use dot to add any string to the variable
like this

Code:

$filename=$_POST['filename'];
$filename.="txt";

OR

Code:

$filename=$_POST['filename']."txt";

Thanks Nouras, you are a champion!

i got it with this :)

Code:

        $filename    = (isset($_POST['filename']))    ? $_POST['filename']    : '' ;
        $filename    = $filename.=".txt";

*gg* why so complicated?

Code:

$filename = (isset($_POST['filename'])) ? $_POST['filename'] . ".txt" : NULL;

Variables are not case-insensitive in PHP. $_post should be $_POST.
