Help writing to two files simultaneously in PHP?

In the script below, I try to write in the same time in two files, but don't perform. How I can do it ?

$filename1 = "guestbook.doc" ;
$filename2 = "cour.doc" ;

$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);

$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);

$message = stripslashes(nl2br(htmlentities($_POST['message'])));

$d = date ( "d/m/Y H:i:s" )

$handle1 = fopen($filename1, "w+");
$handle2 = fopen($filename2, "a+");

if ($handle1 && $handle2) {
    fwrite($handle1, "<b>$name</b> "." - $d<br>$message<br><hr>\n");
    fwrite($handle2, "<b>$name</b> ".$email." - $d<br>$message<br>\n");
}
if ($handle1) {
    fclose($handle1);
}
if ($handle2) {
    fclose($handle2);
}

then
{
header('Location: contact.php?' . http_build_query($_POST));
}
?>

Just write one under another it will work perfect.

<?php

$filename = "guestbook.doc" ;
$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$message = stripslashes(nl2br(htmlentities($_POST['message'])));
$d = date ( "d/m/Y H:i:s" )
$handle1 = fopen($filename, "w+");
$size = filesize($filename);
fwrite($handle, "<b>$name</b> "." - $d<br>$message<br><hr>\n");
$text = fread($handle, $size);
fclose($handle);

$filename = "cour.doc" ;
$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$message = stripslashes(nl2br(htmlentities($_POST['message'])));
$d = date ( "d/m/Y H:i:s" )
$handle = fopen($filename1, "w+");
$size = filesize($filename1);
fwrite($handle, "<b>$name</b> ".$email." - $d<br>$message<br>\n");
$text = fread($handle, $size);
fclose($handle);

?>

writing to a file in PHP is procedural it will wait for handle1 to be written before moving onto handle2. It will not write them at the same time. There must be an error occurring or its not getting inside the if statement if($handle1 && $handle2) . It possibly cannot open those files for writing due to permission problems? are there any errors at all?

Try replacing that if statement with something like this and see if it breaks?

if (is_writable($filename1) or die ("Can not write to ".$filename1)) {
  fwrite($handle1, "<b>$name</b> "." - $d<br>$message<br><hr>\n");
}
if (is_writable($filename2) or die ("Can not write to ".$filename2)) {
  fwrite($handle2, "<b>$name</b> "." - $d<br>$message<br><hr>\n");
}

One thing I do notice is that is kinda odd is :

then
{
header('Location: contact.php?' . http_build_query($_POST));
}

then is not a valid control structure. It's if/elseif/else.
