Trying to do something that should be very easy but not for me. I am trying to pass a variable thru a $\_GET to php and store it in a text file. The variable ip is posted from an external source. I have the following:
The xxx represent the ip address

```
$myFile = "http://xxx.xxx.x.x/iploc.txt";
$var1 =$_GET['ip'];
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $var1);
fclose($fh);

```

I have tried to test this by entering <http://xxx.xxx.x.x/iploc.php?ip=1234> into my web address bar to see what happens. It displays the iploc.php content and does not save the ip to the text file. I know little about doing this so be kind. By looking at my server access log it seems to be getting there.
Thanks in advance
