Why do I keep getting an error saying "291Couldn't find file #4.txt "?

I am working on a project to test if I can use SWFTools on my site. I have created this script to just display scrolling text on the screen of the user's choice.

All the information you need to know is below:

SwfTools file: swfc.exe

SwfTools version: 0.9.0

My Project is made up of 2 php files: index.php makefile.php

Project Available at: http://ericlounge.host22.com/000/22014/allfiles.zip

error: "291Couldn't find file #4.txt"

file: /ProjectDirectory/index.php?filename=Test&text=Test+inverted+blend+mode...+ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&image=1&makeswf=true

SwfTools SWFC documentation: http:// www.swftools.org/swfc/swfc.html

IMO it happens here

else
{
 require("makefile.php");
$file = $_GET["filename"];
$text = $_GET["text"];
$img  = $_GET["image"];
$file = fopen($file . ".txt","w");
echo fwrite($file, createswffile($file, $img, $text));
fclose($file);
system("swfc " . $file . ".txt");

You are trying to open file which doesn't exist. I believe your $file contains 4 as the filename, which later on is used to open file.

Try echo-ing the value of $file, and you'll see that its 4.

Again, I just put skimmed through your code, without diving into details.

I found the answer.

I was using the variable "$file" twice. I set it here:
$file = $_GET["filename"]; and here
$file = fopen($file . ".txt","w");

It was using the file from fopen because that was called last. In the end, it opened up a completely wrong file.
