ok...i know i made a post earlier, and thanks...but now i'm having another problem...i have this code that acts as a form processor...two fields "subject" and "body"...it says its posting...but it doesnt post anything but lines...heres the posting code:

<?php

  function validate_form()
  {
    global $subject, $body;

    $errors=0;
    if (!trim($subject))
    {
    echo "<BR><font color=\"red\"><B>Subject</B> is required.</font>";
    $errors++;
    }

    if (!trim($body))
    {
    echo "<BR><font color=\"red\"><B>Message Body</B> is required.</font>";
    }

    switch ($errors)
    {
    case 0:
        return TRUE;

        case 1:
        echo "<BR><BR><font color=\"red\">Please use your browser's back button to return to the form.";
        return FALSE;

        default:
        echo "<BR><BR><font color=\"red\">Please use your browser's back button to return to the form.";
        return FALSE;
        }
    }

$ok = validate_form();
function update_database()
{
          echo "<br>Updating database.";
      echo "<br><a href=\"http://westernciv.sarvihosting.com/baseball/index.html\">Click here to return to the main page</a>";

$fp = fopen ("/home/westernc/public_html/baseball/data.txt", "a");
  fwrite($fp, "$date()\n");
  fwrite($fp, "$subject\n");
  fwrite($fp, "$body\n");

  fclose ($fp);
}

if ($ok) {
       update_database();
}
?>

</BODY>
</HTML>

it ends up posting date()' with two hard enters after it...that should be posting the date that it was posted..correct? and the other ones just dont show at all...any help is appreciated! thanks
