#10957 — alternative to fwrite?

In my attempt to make my site work, I have concluded that fwrite just does
not work properly.
For my online radio file I created a file using fwrite.
Other people are reporting that they see the playlist but get no sound.
Regardless of browser being used.
Even on my end, if I open IE and Opera, I get no sound while Firefox plays
fine.
What else can I use to create a list online?

The fwrite() function won't "not work properly". The problem is more
than likely with the code you wrote.

If you are creating a *single* file to store information about the
playlist, than this file will be used for *all* visitors, what might not
be what you want.

Furthermore if you do not lock the file properly, that might lead to
corruption of the file due to concurrent write access, and reading might
fail.

Dynamic data retrieved from the database, for example.

So even in four years, you haven't been able to produce anything that 
worked.

   While I applaud your tenacity - it's your ignorance and stubbornness 
that is hurting you. If you are really interested in your site and 
making it work (properly) then you should probably get a book or two on 
programming. I started with:

PHP Developers Dictionary
PHP Developers Cookbook

and then bought:

PHP/MySQL (OReiley, I think) which i a nice combination of both (don't 
have it with me at the moment.) But get something like that and take it 
with you to read as time permits. When some of that data starts to sink 
in you'll realize just how hard you've been making things for yourself.

You said he's been at this game for 10 years?  Sounds like a net troll 
more than a legitimate developer.  Is engaging with him worth the 
mindshare and you bandwidth?

Tell ya what dude.
You try looking up 1000 videos on youtube.
Let's say you find one that has been posted by several people.
Which video do you keep?

It took me about 6 months to find them all.
Not to mention creating videos that were not posted.

Not to mention all the other work I've been doing just to gather the data I
need.
Collecting the mp3 files and posting them has also taken a ton of time.

You and others making up names rather than using ones created for the 
purpose or at least being sure it doesn't exist (ie lazy oafs) might be 
interested in knowing that the following is a valid e-mail address:

invalid.com is a legit e-mail address; try it.

Using it as you do is violating your tos and/or aup by your ISP.

Or....

Just use a valid e-mail just for the purpose of NG and check it only if 
you are expecting a reply from someone there.

OK or some, dangerous for others as bots regularly probe & scan 
newsgroups, mining for e-mails to scrape up.

Otherwise one should use a throw-away address where it won't matter it 
if collects a butt load of spam & scam crap. Never use a main e-mail 
address for newsgroups. There is absolutely zero reason for anyone to 
use a ng person's e-mail; that's what the ng is for.

Unless it got MORE popular than two years ago, that is not the case.
Email addresses posted on websites, even as "userpart at example.com"
started receiving spam in less than a week. Email addresses posted to
newsgroups alone took an average of five weeks to start receiving spam,
and confined to addresses posting to very popular alt.* groups. Big
8-only didn't get picked up at all until we shut down the experiment
after three months.

TWO years?  Please check up on some current events in this area; a LOT 
has changed, especially in the last two years. But not scraping 
addresses; it's still very common.
    One positive thing that has happened, is ISPs have become much 
better at protecting their clients inboxes. Mine does a stellar job. But 
the scraping continues unabated.
    And once an address makes it to a CD, it's there for a good, long 
time and the list will be sold, added to, sold again, ad-infinitum.

I've found the best approach, for now, is getting better filtering. 
Google seems to do a nice job. I don't bother with munging my email 
anymore, yet I almost never get spam in my inbox.

Dufus. He uses invalid AFTER .com, which causes the addy to be fake.
My addy is legal to use because the owners of that domain say anyone can
use it.
Evan claims I change nicks frequently for various purposes.
He is dead wrong.
I haven't used another nick in 3 years.
He assumes that someone using newsguy.com is me.

Where it used to get your account tossed for using a valid domain, many
providers just don't give a damn anmyore.

So you're claiming you're not "Mr. Oldies"?
