hi experts,I got confused when displayed orders information via the following code,

--orderprocess.php<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" /><title>Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results.</title></head><body><h1>Bob's Auto Parts.</h1><h2>Order Results.</h2><?php //create short variable name $tireqty=$HTTP_POST_VARS['tireqty']; $oilqty=$HTTP_POST_VARS['oilqty']; $sparkqty=$HTTP_POST_VARS['sparkqty']; $address=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address']; //$date=$HTTP_POST_VARS['date']; -- date should not be defined $date=date('H:i,jS F');//very important to added! //echo order details echo '<p>Order processed at '; echo date ('H:i, jS F'); echo '</p>'; echo '<p>Your order is as follows: </p>'; echo $tireqty.' tires<br />'; echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />'; echo $sparkqty.' sparks<br />'; //echo total amount $totalqty = 0; $totalqty = $tireqty + $oilqty + $sparkqty; echo 'Items ordered: '.$totalqty.'<br />'; //echo address echo 'address shipped to: '.$address.'<br />'; $totalamount = 0.00; define('TIREPRICE', 100); define('OILPRICE', 10); define('SPARKPRICE', 4); $totalamount = $tireqty * TIREPRICE + $oilqty * OILPRICE + $sparkqty * SPARKPRICE; echo 'Subtotal: $'.number_format($totalamount,3).'<br />'; $taxrate = 0.10; // local sales tax is 10% $totalamount = $totalamount * (1 + $taxrate); echo 'Total including tax: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).'<br />'; //write to a file - orders.txt $fp = fopen('orders.txt', 'a', 1); //$fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders.txt","a",1); //note $fp = fopen('orders.txt', 'a', 1); and, find the differences! flock($fp, LOCK_EX); // lock the file for writing fwrite($fp,$outputstring = $date."\t".$tireqty.' tires'."\t".$oilqty.' oils'."\t".$sparkqty.' sparks'."\t"."$".$totalamount."\t".$address."\n"); flock($fp, LOCK_UN); //release write lock ?></body></html>
---vieworders.php
<?php //create short variable name $orders = file('orders.txt');?> <html><head> <title>Bob's Auto Parts - Customer Orders</title></head><body><h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1><h2>Customer Orders</h2><?php //Read in the entire file. //Each order becomes an element in the array $orders = file('orders.txt'); //$orders= file("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt"); // count the number of orders in the array $number_of_orders = count($orders); if ($number_of_orders == 0) { echo '<p><strong>No orders pending. Please try again later.</strong></p>'; } else { echo "<table border=1>\n"; echo '<tr><th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Order Date</th> <th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Tires</th> <th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Oil</th> <th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Spark Plugs</th> <th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Total</th> <th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Address</th> <tr>'; for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_orders; $i++) { //split up each line $line = explode( "\t", $orders[$i] ); // keep only the number of items ordered $line[1] = intval( $line[1] ); $line[2] = intval( $line[2] ); $line[3] = intval( $line[3] ); // output each order echo '<tr> <td>$line[0]</td> <td align="right">$line[1]</td> <td align="right">$line[2]</td> <td align="right">$line[3]</td> <td align="right">$line[4]</td> <td align="right">$line[5]</td> </tr>'; } echo "</table>"; }?></body></html>Well, after clicking http://localhost/vieworders.php, I got the following results,
Date Tires Oil Spark Plugs Total Address$line[0] $line[1] $line[2] $line[3] $line[4] $line[5]$line[0] $line[1] $line[2] $line[3] $line[4] $line[5]
why I can't get the exact figures(order quantities) as hoped?thanks a lot, every experts

Because single quotes are literal, i.e., variable syntax expressed inside them will not be interpreted. Use double quotes.

You should use double quotes, or else, as I said, the variables as written ($line[0] etc.) will not be interpreted.

echo "<tr><td>$line[0]</td><td align=\"right\">$line[1]</td><td align=\"right\">$line[2]</td><td align=\"right\">$line[3]</td><td align=\"right\">$line[4]</td><td align=\"right\">$line[5]</td></tr>";
