A few things:
1. Read http://www.safalra.com/special/googlegroupsreply/ about how to
use Google groups.
2. I hope you defined $data before you try to write it to the new html-file.
3. (By far the most important point.) The print function outputs the
given string as normal html, i.e. you will see it in your browser if you
open billcalculation.php . The statement above assigns the result of the
print function (which is always the integer 1) to $data. Hence, the
number 1 should be written to the new html-file. Instead use
$data="Apartment: $apartment_rent";
$fwrite ($fp, $data);
(And if you want to show it in billcalculation.php as well, throw in
print $data; )

Hope this helps.
