[Solved] Dini does not write to file. - DesertFoxNight - 09.05.2011

I'm having a difficult time trying to write and read from a file. I've created two commands in my Gamemode: one to record the Name, IP, and Score of a player; and the other one to retrieve the Name and Score of the person. The code looks like this:
pawn Код:
COMMAND:pass(playerid){
    new file[250] = "/userfiles/testing.ini";
    
    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerInfo[playerid][pName], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    GetPlayerIp(playerid,   PlayerInfo[playerid][pIP],   16);

    PlayerInfo[playerid][pScore] = GetPlayerScore(playerid);
    
    dini_Set( file,   "Name",   PlayerInfo[playerid][pName] );
    dini_Set( file,   "IP",     PlayerInfo[playerid][pIP]);
    dini_IntSet( file, "Score", PlayerInfo[playerid][pScore] );

    return 1;
}
COMMAND:get(playerid){
    new file[250] = "/userfiles/testing.ini";
    new msg[150];
    
    format( msg, sizeof(msg), "Name: %s", dini_Get(file, "Name") );
    SendClientMessage( playerid, BLUE, msg );
    format( msg,sizeof(msg),"Score: %d", dini_Int(file, "Score") );
    SendClientMessage( playerid, BLUE, msg );

    return 1;
}
I've tried different combination for the file name such as: Even so, dini_IntSet does not write to the directory where I have the testing.ini file that I manually created in userfiles. I'm running Windows Vista on my computer, so I also tried running my server in Administrator mod, but even that doesn't help. I've done File I/O in the the past (C, Python, and PHP), but this time around I can't figure out why dini isn't working for me. I know that there are better File I/O for Pawno, but right now I'm focusing on dini since I finally figured out how to use it by going over the source code.

Thank you for your time.

Why are you defining file in this case?
Try it without defining file, so we can make a diagnosis.
pawn Код:
COMMAND:pass(playerid){ 
    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerInfo[playerid][pName], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    GetPlayerIp(playerid,   PlayerInfo[playerid][pIP],   16);

    PlayerInfo[playerid][pScore] = GetPlayerScore(playerid);
    
    dini_Set( "/userfiles/testing.ini",   "Name",   PlayerInfo[playerid][pName] );
    dini_Set( "/userfiles/testing.ini",   "IP",     PlayerInfo[playerid][pIP]);
    dini_IntSet( "/userfiles/testing.ini", "Score", PlayerInfo[playerid][pScore] );

    return 1;
}
COMMAND:get(playerid){
    new msg[150];
    
    format( msg, sizeof(msg), "Name: %s", dini_Get("/userfiles/testing.ini", "Name") );
    SendClientMessage( playerid, BLUE, msg );
    format( msg,sizeof(msg),"Score: %d", dini_Int("/userfiles/testing.ini", "Score") );
    SendClientMessage( playerid, BLUE, msg );

    return 1;
}

I wanted to test to see how dini worked because I tried to do the raw File I/O such as fopen, fread, fwrite, etc. but it crashed my server. I'm used to defining the directory to a local variable because that's what I've done in C, Phyton, and PHP with File I/O. I'll give it a try defining the directory this time instead of defining it locally in the command and report back if it works.

I finally got it to work. It turned out when I used this define: "%s.ini", dini wrote the file in Server\scriptfiles and not to the directory where samp-server is located. Like I said earlier, I do have experience with File I/O in other languages so I naturally assumed the root directory was Server not scriptfiles because samp-server is located in the folder Server. So thank you for your help and time I really appreciated.
