Re: Stuck on Tutorial

According to a tutorial, the five lines at the bottom are all that's
needed to cause a file named testFile.txt to be created. I put those 5
lines in a page called study.php, uploaded it to my server, and changed
all the permissions to 777. (And later experimented with some others).
The result is always this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or
'$' in /home/nyghtwyn/public_html/study/study.php on line 3

Stymied at this point. Any help will be appreciated.



<?php
$ourFileName = "testFile.txt";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($0urFileName, 'W') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle);
?>


$ourFileName is NOT $0urFileName.

Also, 'W' needs to be 'w'.

PHP is case sensitive in variable names, and fopen()'s second parameter is case sensitive.
