I am trying to build a small reporting script for emails. i have the attached code, and it runs but nothing is being dropped into the html file.

If the file isnt created, it creates it. and if i just type somewhere in the code $subject or another field i have defined, they are displayed in the output, but still nothing is put into the html file.

What do i have wrong?
