Hi Folks,
I am currently learning php and Mysql a scripting language and DB i just feel
in love with. I am currently having problem in opening file to put data
collected from clients when the purchase from an online shop. The scripts is as
follows.
where i am having problem is this // open file for appending
$fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt ", 'a');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
Please can someone advise me on how i should go about this. Do i need to
creat a file for orders/orders or is i the script that will do it for me
authomatically. I am confused here. I will be glad if someone can help me out. Thanks.

The scripts is below:

<?php
//create short variable names
$tireqty = $HTTP_POST_VARS['tireqty'];
$oilqty = $HTTP_POST_VARS['oilqty'];
$sparkqty = $HTTP_POST_VARS['sparkqty'];
$address = $HTTP_POST_VARS['address'];
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>
<html>
<head>
