maybe permissions problem

[Raullara]

Hi again and thanks in advance.

 

I'm trying to write an xml file with information of my shop's products from my custom module. I was trying a simple code to write an xml, but is not working. After that i tried to do it on the index.php in my local folder and it works.

 

maybe my local prestashop has no permissions to write?

 

i did the chmod 777 to the whole folder

 

here's the code....

 

$xml = new DOMDocument("1.0");

 

$root = $xml->createElement("data");

$xml->appendChild($root);

 

$id = $xml->createElement("id");

$idText = $xml->createTextNode('1');

$id->appendChild($idText);

 

$title = $xml->createElement("title");

$titleText = $xml->createTextNode('"PHP Undercover"');

$title->appendChild($titleText);

 

 

$book = $xml->createElement("book");

$book->appendChild($id);

$book->appendChild($title);

 

$root->appendChild($book);

 

$xml->formatOutput = true;

 

 

$xml->save("mybooks.xml") or die("Error");

Does it work if you first create an (empty) file with the name mybooks.xml? Maybe you're not allowed to create files programmatically...

Solved, the problem was the files are created in the admin folder, the path was set on root, next to the php file, but prestashop execute the module from there. so i set an absolute path.
