Hi there,
I am trying to create a file using fwrite function, but for something reason all I get is a blank file with no content inside.
Here is the code, go to the bottom where the fwrite function is called:
<?php //Get Nohay Albums function

    if ((isset($_GET['year']))||(isset($_GET['reciter']))){ //nothing displayed

So what all this does is based on user input it creates a new html page based off of the template with a few different variables based on input. Then it makes a new row  and 3 cells in the home pages thread table that link to the page say who made it and what time they made it. Now it all works PERFECT (Im suprised how perfect on the first try actually) except for 1 tiny flaw which i think might be php not me but im not sure. The fwrite creates a new file but if the input contains any question marks (?) the link will work but no file will be created. For everyother character on teh standard keyboard its fine but not the question mark. What gives? thanks yall!

MOD EDIT: <code></code> tags changed to proper [code] . . . [/code] BBCode tags.

Can't figure out why the page wont save after clicking save.

Can anyone help me with adding a link to an uploaded file?

What I have is a script that allows the user to upload a file, which saves into a folder on the server named "upload". I want to create a link that allows the user to open that file after it is downloaded. Here is what I have so far, but it's not working right. Can anyone help me out?

Hi all:

I have been going nuts trying to get this to work. I have gone through many attempts based on internet searches and examples that simply do not work.

I have files stored in my MySQL db. The files cna be of any type and are being displayed in a listed report. The files are hyperlinked and clickable, but here is the issue:

When I click on a file in:
http://development.products-and-services.ca/cms/test.php
I get:
http://development.products-and-services.ca/cms/test2.php?content=DHall_CV_webdev_eng.pdf
as a blank page result.
The objective is to get a file download alert or to see the file in the browser.

Any ideas?

Hey I've roughly written a php ftp browser (file displayer) and I cant seen to get around the problem how I would navigate through the folders, im fairly new to php and haven't had much experience just wondering that some methods could be for keeping track of what directory I am in and how to navigate up and down through the files and folders, I'm looking for ideas not necessarily solutions.
I use a $_GET to tell the script what folder to look through but I want to be able to navigate solely through the hyperlinks
Here is my code so far:

<?php
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '10M');
ini_set('max_input_time', 300);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

$host = "";
$user = "";
$password = "";

$ftp_connection = ftp_connect($host);

ftp_login($ftp_connection, $user, $password);

if (isset($_GET['page']))
   {
   $path = "/" . $_GET['page'];
   }
   else
   {
   $path = "/";
   }

$file_list = ftp_nlist($ftp_connection, $path);
echo "<table border=1><tr><td>File Name</td><td>File Size</td><tr>";
 for($index = 0; $index < sizeof($file_list); $index++)
   {
   echo "<tr>";
   $file_size = ftp_size($ftp_connection, $file_list[$index]);
   $file_name = $file_list[$index];
   if ($file_size == -1)
      {
      echo "<td><a href=browse.php?page=" . $path . $file_name . ">" . $file_name . "</a></td><td><b>Folder</b></td></tr>";
      }
      else
      {
      echo "<td>" . $file_name . "</td><td>" . $file_size . "</td></tr>";
      }

   }


ftp_close($ftp_connection);

I'm fairly tired so I will sleep on the problem and check back in the morning (it may just be because I'm tired I cant think of a solution) I think ive explained it the best I can this is my first post so any help would be appreciated

Is it possible to feed the browser a default save as name for the image when outputting to the browser, instead of it defaulting to the .php file name?

So, instead of myimage.php I could use imagename.jpg or whatever I want.

Hope for some help

Ok i have been working on this for a day+ now. here is my delema

simple .ini text file. when a user makes a change (via html form) it makes the correct adjustments.
problem is the newline issue

1. if i put a "\n" at the end (when using fputs) works great, except everytime they edit the file it keeps adding a new line (i.e. 10 edits there are now 10 blank lines!!!!)
2. if i leave off the "\n" it appends the next "fgets" to that lilne making a mess

Code: [Select]
##-- Loop thruoght the ORIGINAL file
    while( ! feof($old))
    {
        ##-- Get a line of text
        $aline = fgets($old);
       
        ##-- We only need to check for "="
        if(strpos($aline,"=") > 0 )
        {
            ##-- Write NEW data to tmp file
            fputs($tmp,$info[$i]." = ".$rslt[$i]."\n");
            $i++;
        }
        ##-- No Match
        else
        {
            fputs($tmp,$aline."\n");
        }//Checking for match
    }//while eof(old)
   

what in the world is making this such a big deal. i dont remember having this issue in the past
I tried opening with w+, and just w on the temp file

a typical text line would be

some fieldname = some value

the scipt cycles through the file ignoring comments that are "#"


ps
the tmp file will overwrite the origianl once complete

all i really want to know is WHY i cant get the newline to work, and what is the suggested fix

EDIT:
i just tried PHP_EOL and it still appends another newline

I currently am working on a project where I code a "simple" telephone directory.

There are three main tasks that it needs to do:
1. Directory.php(index page) has a "First Name" and "Last Name" field and a search button. When a name is searched from the directory.txt file, it displays First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in findinfo.php in designated text boxes...first name, last name, etc.

2. From the findinfo.php, like previously stated, the users information is listed in the appropriate text boxes. From there, there is an update button that will overwrite the user's information to directory.txt if that button is selected. It will then say the write was sucessful.

3. (completed this step) From the index page, there is a link that will take you to addnew.php where you enter First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in a web form and write it to directory.txt.

 This is the php code for the third step:

<?php
$newentryfile = fopen("directory.txt", "a+");
$firstname = $_POST['fname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$newentry = "$firstname $lastname\n\r $address\n\r $city, $state $zip\n\r $phone\n\r";
if (flock($newentryfile, LOCK_EX)) {
if (fwrite($newentryfile, $newentry) > 0)
echo "<p>" . stripslashes($firstname) . " " .
 stripslashes($lastname) . " has been added to the directory.</p>";
else
echo "<p>Registration error!</p>";
flock($newentryfile, LOCK_UN);
}
else
echo "<p>Cannot write to the file. Please try again later</p>";
fclose($newentryfile);

if(empty($firstname) || empty($lastname) || empty($address) || empty($city) || empty ($state) || empty($zip) || empty($phone))
{
echo "<p>Please go back and fill out all fields.</p>";
}
?>


So to sum it all up, what would be my best approach? I am totally stumped and not sure which function to use. Should I work my way from step 1 to step 2? I see it as when I do the search for the name from directory.php, it takes me to findinfo.php, listing the users information in the text boxes. From there, if I needed to, having the user's information already listed I could hit the update button to overwrite the new information to directory.txt. Doing the update when then tell me that the write was successful.

I have literally been scouring the internet for hours. What would be the best function to do this? I hope I was clear enough. Please help me out and thank you for your time.

Hi,

I am writing several scripts and some are used to amend extra information to a text file. However, I added a hyperlink to the text file so that the user can go back to a page where they can add extra information. However, since I have done this every time I amend more text to the text file, the extra text appears below the hyperlink rather than above it, and I was wondering if there was a way around this.

My amend code is as follows:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>Amend File</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" a href="rcm/stylesheet.css">
</head>
<?php

if($_POST['append'] !=null)
{
$filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt";
$file=fopen($filename, "a");
$msg="<p>Updated Information: " .$_POST['append']. "</p><br>";
fputs ($file, $msg);
fclose($file);
}
?>
<body>
<h1>Do you want to append to a document?</h1>
Enter Updated Information:
<form action="amendfile2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" size="40" name="append"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Add updated information to report">
</form>
<form action="viewfile3.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" size="40" value="View Web Blog">
</form>
<form action="loginform.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Click here to go to the Log In Screen">
</form>
</body></html>

And my text file is as follows:
Code: [Select]
<h1>Accident Report</h1>

<p>First Name: Andrew
Last Name: Denman
Age: 18
Complete Weeks Since Accident: 2<br>

<a href="amendfile2.php">Amend to this file</a>

Any help would be appreciated

Hi there,

Can anybody help me to write php/javascript code which will allow users to open files directly from web browser into desktop application? Here is the specification:

I have a photo editing business with many people working in Photoshop. I am currently developing a web based application (joblist) using Javascript and PHP which should allow the photoshop designers to browse and open files/images directly from joblist/web browser into photoshop. The reason I want this instead of browsing folder is that I have a database where I store who worked on which file, when and how long it took.

The concept is that, designers will select a file and click on start, as soon as they click on start the original file will open in Photoshop and there will be an entry into database (using PHP). Once they finish the task they will close the file and click on Finish button.

My joblist application will be published in a local server and the file will be open on a local network, so when they save the file it will be saved where the source file is located in (local server). The application should work in both PC and Mac.

I have already done all other part of the application except file opening directly from browser to desktop application functionality.

Anybody can help me to write the code (PHP or Javascript) which can open the file from browser (local server) directly into desktop application e.g. PHotoshop or Illustrator?

Thank you very much I look forward to someone's real help!

Best regards
Mr. Sumon

Hi,

I am trying write the contents of a php file's output, which echos out a small output of text based on variables and calulations, to a single file. I have tried  fwrite and file_get_contents. When I run my code I get the file to create but the file it creates only outputs "1". Here is a look at my code:

fwrite version:

Code: [Select]
$text= include '$Site-2851.php';

$file = fopen("myfile.txt","w");
echo fwrite($file, $text);
fclose($file);

file_get_contents version:

Code: [Select]
$text= include '$Site-2851.php';
$file = 'myfile.cfg';
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new person to the file
$current .= $text;
// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);
