form data to file - issues

vs-pf1 · August 24, 2010

Hello there.new member here in need of help!

So i use the code the code below to display images from a folder into a form. My problem is that i put checkboxes with various selections in order to transfer the selected items later to a file or echo the submission. As it seems at the moment is that i can display correctly everything in my form but for some unknown reason i cannot echo/write to a txt file the files(names) that i choose with the checkbox.There seems to be something wrong with my loop but i'm not sure. I would appreciate any help.thank you in advance.

Here is my code:

and here is the process to file code:

<?php 
SESSION_START(); 
$arxeio = "data.txt"; 
$fp = fopen($arxeio, "a") or die("Couldn't open $arxeio for writing!"); 
//fwrite($fp, $_POST[$file]."\n"); 
fwrite($fp, $_POST['color']."\n") or die("Couldn't write values to file!"); 
fwrite($fp, $_POST['size']."\n"); 
fclose($fp); 
echo $_SESSION['user']; 
echo $_POST['color']; 
echo $_POST['country']; 
echo "Saved to $arxeio successfully!"; 
?>

How should i make my code to work only for the selected items along with their attributes.

Thank you very much.
