I understand that with mods. the current traffic in the forum is more than catered for

But I was aiming for admin though

To be honest and transparent: we just don't have any space for more mods at the moment. If too many people are made up to mods normal members start to feel like outsiders, we really don't want that. This site is meant to be for the normal members, not an inner clique!

Naturally being really helpful will be taken into account if/when we need mods in future.

Thanks!

this is a forum to ask for and give help (among other things) so there was no hassle
I have learned a great deal on this forum (and other forums and websites) and don't mind sharing my (still limited) knowldge wherever I can help

Maybe soon you will be helping others

Glad you're sorted. If you get any other problems just post. I'm sure you will have many questions now you have decided to use SQL.
And of course the learning of PHP never ends!

Cool. SQL is easier and is usually more secure (as long as you run the input through mysql_real_escape_string() before mysql_query()).

Nice investigating Greg, that certainly sounds like the problem. It's good you've found a way around it though Reece, using a database is probably the best way, and you'll learn some good stuff.

That safe mode might cause problems in the future though. But you might not want to bother worrying about it unless files need to be uploaded.

Greg, thank you for your support, and interests to help, you certainly deserve your Name. Why not become a Moderator?
and to JeevesBond, thank you soo much for your suggestions, But I really dont think CSV was the best Idea. (Yes Greg, My host does have that safe PHP thing, but i thought that would be ok?)
I have written a small php program, (HTML Form, submits to Processing php file, then gets written to the database.)
Thanks to everyone (dont forget Megan, you started me off at the beginning)
Sorry to cause all this hassle, but I reli think it payed off, as If you guys did never tell me it was PHP that write, and not html, i would still be trying to write with an empty pen. Cheers to everyone,
Keep up the good work, I reli apprieciate your interests to help.
Thanks Again, Reece.

that doesn't look like the best of hosting company
I click help links and it goes off to either a weird other domain, or page not found

I guess they have safe mode on PHP
which means your fopen and fwrite might have problems

When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in which you are about to operate has the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.
