| | Hi, first, sorry about my english.
i am a beginner with php and i have some question about writing files using php in a shared hosting. is a risk?, use database to store data is a better way? i just want make an interface (in php) that write the data in a .html extension file to show to everybody the html page and just the php interface is to the content manager.
thanks in advance

Well for what you describe, eg writing info to a HTM page for display to a user, it think it would be easier to use variables and ECHO. EG set up a GET variable which is in the URL called PAGE or something eg www.site.com/index.php?$page=one Now in your script simply get this variable back and check it using an IF statement: CODE if($page == "one"){
echo "this is page one!";
} ELSE {
echo "this is page two";
} But if you wee dead set on using FWRITE and such then its not really a security risk in itself, the danger is that you have to set full permissions, at least i do anyway, to 777 which means that the file or folder which has those permissions is slightly less secure, its not really a massive issue and ive never had any issues from it. I would usually use a database to store information rather than a file as files can be seen by users whereas a database is usually hidden and secured quite well.

monitors any changes made to the file. When it detects that you have saved the....

cancer. In January, a four-year study performed by the London-based Institute of Cancer Research
and three British universities found that talking on a cell phone had no effect on tumor rates. That
research included 966 people with glioma brain tumors and 1,716 healthy respondents....
