PHP - Fgets Question

I have this code so far:



$file = fopen("file.txt", "r");
while(!feof($file))
  {
  echo "<a href=" . fgets($file). ">" . fgets($file) . "</a><br />";
  }
fclose($file);



but if i use fgets twice (like above) it makes the link, link to the previous result

I've been doing some limited PHP coding for a while, but never really had any training, just learned by searching for specific needs.  So I decided to get a book and start from the beginning to see what else PHP can do that I don't know about.

Problem is that I can't even get past the first simple program in the book.  I'm just supposed to take input from the user and save it to a variable with this line of code:

Code: [Select]
$name = fgets(STDIN);
But when I access that page on my webserver, I get this error:

Warning: fgets() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in /Users/username/Sites/sitename/index.php

There's got to be something simple I'm missing, since this is the easiest task in the book.    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

I have a script that I am trying to transfer one file from a remote server to my local server and save it. The files can be quite large. I have successfully backed up around 200 MB... But, anything over that seems to fail with a strange error... I was hoping for a little guidance... here is my code and error/warning that I get:

PHP Code:
function remote_capture($tmp_url, $filename)
   {
   
      $r_handle = fopen($tmp_url, "rb");
      $d_handle = fopen($filename, 'w');
      
      if($r_handle&&$d_handle)
      {
          while(($buffer = fgets($r_handle)) !== false)
          {
            fputs($d_handle, $buffer);
          }
         
          fclose($r_handle);
         fclose($d_handle);
         
         return true;
         
      }
      else
      {
         return false;
      }
   
   }

Warning Message:

Hi guys, I'm doing a website for the condo and I'm having troubles with the new year party registration form. I think it's got something to do with my file handling. When I run it on my wamp server, it works fine. But when I upload it onto the internet it gives me a whole bunch of warnings:
Warning: fopen(newYearParty.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/zymichost.com/i/n/d/inderasubangcondo/htdocs/newYrRegTq.php on line 18

Heres my code:

Any ideas on how to fix this up? Thanks a lot in advance.

when in a form, I wish to build a conditional that if the response to a radio button is a value of 2 (female), it will display an input requesting for users maiden name. If not 2 goes to the next input statement.

Here is code I was experimenting with:


<html>
<body>
<form action="" name="test"  method='POST'>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=1 checked><label>Male</label>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=2><label>Femaleale</label>

    <?php
    $result = "value";
    if ($result == 2)
        echo "<input type='int' id='gradYear' size='3' required>";
        else
        echo "Not a female!"
    ?>

    <input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
</body>
</html>


The code passes debug, however, Not a Female is displayed.

My question is - Can I do this and if so, what value do I test against id='sex' or value. I tried each one but gave the same results. I realize that $_POST[sex] would be used after the submit button is clicked. But this has me stumped.

Thanks for the assis in advance.
