PHP - Loop Through Each Line Of A Text File, Add Code, And Throttle

I have a PHP file that is executed via batch file very frequently for live updating. This is a sort of "sync" file for reading/writing to a MySQL database. I am able to get it functioning absolutely fine when executed manually via a web browser (and my echo debug lines output the expected information), yet when I run the same PHP file via the command line, it seems to just not be capable of opening any file for reading, so the equivalent variables that are correct when executed on a web browser are blank when echoed through the command line.

Is there a different way of handling reading of files when running a php script via the command line, or should it function exactly the same as when run via a browser?

For instance:

$k = "0";
$line = file("examplefile.log")[$k];
echo $line;

I want my application will send a email after 10 minutes of sending another email.

In my application

A user completes registration with payment Application sends the user a payment confirmation email

Now I want to

send another email 10 minutes After payment confirmation email with welcome tips

Below is the function where for user setup .

 

public function finishUserSetup($Sub){

    if($Sub == 0){
        $subscription = SubscriptionPlans::where('identifier', '=', "Monthly")->first();
        $expiry = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+' . $subscription->months . ' months'));
        $sub_period = "monthly";
    
    } else{
        $subscription = SubscriptionPlans::where('identifier', '=', "Annually")->first();
        $expiry = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+' . $subscription->months . ' months'));
        $sub_period = "annually";
    }

    $this->expiry_date = $expiry;
    $this->user_type = "SUB";
    $this->subscription_period = $sub_period;
    $this->update();

    $replaceArray = array(
        'fullname' => $this->forename . " " . $this->surname,
        'subscriptionName' => $subscription->name,
        );
    EmailTemplate::findAndSendTemplate("paymentconfirm", $this->email, $this->forename . " " . $this->surname, $replaceArray);

  }

In the above function the last line of code is the one which sends a payment confirmation email to the user which is

EmailTemplate::findAndSendTemplate("paymentconfirm", $this->email, $this->forename . " " . $this->surname, $replaceArray);

I want to execute the following line of code 10 minutes after the above one

 

EmailTemplate::findAndSendTemplate("WelcomeTips", $this->email, $this->forename . " " . $this->surname, $replaceArray);

 

 

How to do that. that is running the last line of code 10 minutes after  

I have a script that reads a .gz file into an array and prints the name of each record but will not work on larger files. Is there a way to read 1 line at a time?
Here is the code I have so far.
Code: [Select]

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {

print "<ol>";
    
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

$filename = $file;
$go = filesize($filename);
if($go >= 1){
$filename2 = explode("-", $filename);
$filename2 = $filename2[0];
echo str_replace("_"," ",$filename2) . ' | Filesize is: ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes<br>';
$gz = gzopen($filename, 'r');
$lines = gzfile($filename,10000);
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$line2 = explode(",", $line);
$line2 = str_replace("," , "-" , $line2);
    echo "<li>".str_replace("," , "-" , $line2[4])."</li><br>";
}

}
}
    }

    closedir($handle);
}
?>

I'm so sorry to ask such a "newbee question," but believe me I have been on Google for the better part of the week trying to find an answer.   I'll start with the brief question. Then I'll give an example to show what I mean. Then, I'll give the BESTEST "pseudo-code" I could come up with (to PROVE that I've really given it my best).   Question: How do I make PHP loop through a big file, make the changes line by line, and to save the resultant file.   Example: I have a 100mb text file ("animals.txt") with 500,000 lines. If any lines have the word "cat" in it, I want to add "Be careful with cats!" to the end of the line:   From this: A fish and his tank. A cat and his toy. A bird and her cage. A frog and his lilly. A cat and her friend.   To this: A fish and his tank. A cat and his toy. Be careful with cats! A bird and her cage. A frog and his lilly. A cat and her friend. Be careful with cats!   The best "pseudo-code" I can come up with is:   <?php $data = file_get_contents("animals.txt"); $lines = explode(PHP_EOL,$data);

I have developed the following code, which queries a MySQL database and returns multiple results using several WHILE loops:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
# if submit_hash is present, then pull up the attendance from specified hash
if($_GET['submit_hash'])
{
# select all the hashers from the specified hash
$query = "
SELECT
h.*,
ha.*
FROM
hashes as h,
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hash_id = " . $_GET['hash_id'] . "
&& hr.hash_id = h.hash_id 
&& hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id
ORDER BY
ha.hasher_name ";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error selecting Hash attendance.');

$x = 1;


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if($x == 1)
{
echo '<strong>' . $row['hash_num'] . ' ' . $row['hash_name'] . ' - ' . date("D, d M Y", strtotime($row['hash_date'])) . '</strong><em>Total Hashers: ' . mysql_num_rows($result) . '</em>';

The problem is that everything that is returned from the WHILE loops is displayed in a single line.  However, I want the data displayed with a line break between each result, like this:

Header
Return 1 from WHILE loop
Return 2 from WHILE loop
Return 3 from WHLIE loop

How do I need to modify the code to make it display appropriately?

Hi, I have some code which displays my blog post in a foreach loop, and I want to add some social sharing code(FB like button, share on Twitter etc.), but the problem is the way I have my code now, creates 3 instances of the sharing buttons, but if you like one post, all three are liked and any thing you do affects all of the blog post. How can I fix this?


<?php
include ("includes/includes.php");

$blogPosts = GetBlogPosts();

foreach ($blogPosts as $post)
{
echo "<div class='post'>";
echo "<h2>" . $post->title . "</h2>";
echo "<p class='postnote'>" . $post->post . "</p";
echo "<span class='footer'>Posted By: " . $post->author . "</span>";
echo "<span class='footer'>Posted On: " . $post->datePosted . "</span>";
echo "<span class='footer'>Tags: " . $post->tags . "</span>";
echo '

So I'm basically done an assignment, however I'm having the biggest brainfart at the moment. For the life of me I cannot remember how to "jump line" in a file and have to put "end" at the end of my txt files. Also I have to put a break in my code which messes up my formatting:

$coursedata = explode('
', rtrim($coursedata));

$studentdata = explode('
', rtrim($studentdata));

fwrite($fp, $number.'||'.$_POST['course'].'
'.$content);

Here is the main code below for the script:

		$coursedata = file_get_contents($file);
		$coursedata = explode('

		unset($coursedata[count($coursedata) - 1]);
		$course_array = array();
		foreach($coursedata as $row) { 
			$course_array[] = explode('||', $row);
		}
		return $course_array;
	}

	#_____________functions_______________________
	if (isset ($_POST['name']) and isset ($_POST['number']) and isset ($_POST['course'])) {
		#________________test if the post exists
		$name = $_POST['name'];
		$number = $_POST['number'];
		$found = 0;
		$findregistered = 0;

		for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($registered_array); $i++) {
			if ($registered_array[$i][0] == $_POST['number'] && $registered_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) {
				# ___________test if the student is enrolled in this course
				$findregistered = 1;
			}

			if($registered_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) {
				#________counter of the number registered in this course
				$number_of_registered++;
			}
		}

		for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($course_array); $i++) {
			if ($course_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) {
				# ______________this test if the number of registered is the max
				$course_name = $course_array[$i][0];
				$findcourse = 1;
				if($number_of_registered < $course_array[$i][2]) {
					$number_max = 0;
				} 
				else {
					$number_max = 1;
				}
			}
		}

	$studentdata = file_get_contents('students.txt');
	$studentdata = explode('
', rtrim($studentdata));
	for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($studentdata); $i++) {
		list($studentname, $studentnumber) = explode("||", rtrim($studentdata[$i]));
		if (strtoupper($name) == strtoupper($studentname) && strtoupper($number) == strtoupper($studentnumber)) {
			$found = 1;
			if ($findcourse == 1 && $findregistered == 0 && $number_max == 0) {
				# _____________________do all the tests to record the student in the course("register.txt") and do it if all the test are checked
				$success = 1;
				$content = file_get_contents('register.txt');
				$fp = fopen('register.txt', 'w');
				fwrite($fp, $number.'||'.$_POST['course'].'
'.$content);
				fclose($fp);

				echo "<title>".strtoupper($name).",".strtoupper($studentname)."</title>";

hi, im using the following code to read the content of a file, and then add a line to the end of the file.

Code: [Select]
$file = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/includes/settings.php';
$read = fopen($file, 'r')or die('Opening Error');

$content = fread($read, filesize($file));

fclose($read)or die('Close Error');

if(isset($_POST['cat_bg']))
{
    $write = fopen($file, 'w')or die('Opening Error');
   
    $cat_bg = $_POST['cat_bg'];

    $new_content = $content.'$color[\'cat_header\'][\'background\'] = '.$cat_bg.';';

    fwrite($write, $new_content)or die('Write Error');
   
    fclose($write);
}

however i would like to delete a line from the file before the content in inserted as the new line i am inserting is a duplicate variable with a different value.

Can anyone help?

Hello,

I'm trying to read the first line of some large files by PHP, which means, the ideal solution does not work:

Quote

   $content = file($file_import);
   
   $fields = explode(",", $content[0]);


Quote

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 110 bytes) in C:\wamp\www\exchange\admin\import.php on line 55



Is there any other way to read only the first line without opening the whole file?

Thanks!!

Hi
I need to read a file and if a line match then proceed, file have content like this

file.txt
Code: [Select]

if (strstr("this line two", $content)) {
echo 'matched';
} else {
echo 'not matched';
}

but this always give not matched. any help please

Hello everybody!

Keep in mind I'm new to PHP but get the basics

I'm trying to collect email addresses from a web-form that gets filled out on a website into a simple txt file on the server.  The problem is the emails get appended one right after the other with no spaces so it looks like "user@server.comuser2@server.comuser3@server.com" and so on.  What I'm trying to do is either separate them by a comma, or put them on a new line but whatever I try, it will not accept it.

Anyway, here is the code that I have:

Code: [Select]
$fp = fopen("/home/fullertr/public_html/email_collector.txt","a");
fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail' . "\n"]);
fclose($fp);
unset($_POST);
Thanks for any help!
