I am working on making a tool for my internet illiterate mom to update something on her website. The file is intended to update the "news" section of the website. For somereason, the variable wont echo into the second document. Can anyone please debug this code? File: newsupdatepage.php
<html>
<head>
<title>UPDATE NEWS</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black" text="lime">
<style type="text/css">
.news {
background-color: #000099;
border-color: #000099;
border-style: solid;
color: #ffff00;
}
</style>
<center>
<form action="changenews00001.php" method="post">
<h1>UPDATE PAGE</h1><br>
<nobr><input name="$newnews" class="news" value="News goes here..."></nobr>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="CHANGE" class="news">
</form>
</body>
</html>
File: changenews00001.php
<?
echo "<p>Update mode.</p>";
$cnf = fopen("updates.php","w+");
$newnews = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($newnews));
fputs($cnf,"<? ");
fputs($cnf,"\$newnews=\"$newnews\"; ");
fputs($cnf,"?>");
fclose($cnf);
include("index.php");
?>
Note: all that update.php is, is a file to store the variable "$newnews". index.php is the index page of her site (all of this is in a root dir).
all help would be greatly appreciated.
