PHP - Create File In Linux And Write To It Via Php.
Hey there,
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread, well basically I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've got a string in PHP containing the contents of a file I would like to be created and I have a method of sending the command to the remote server like so: $Connection->exec('ps aux'); Now my issue is I am unaware of any file editors via command like that don't have some sort of user prompt I've scoured Google for hours searching for the best possible method for this but all the file editors aren't simply processed by one line commands and edited in that same command e.g Create File -> Write File -> Close File Is there no possible means of doing that via one line command?. Here is my string I wish to be written to the file. $RestartFile = "#!/bin/bash export SERVER_PATH=/home/client".$Server['server_owner']."/".$Server['server_id']." cd $SERVER_PATH while [ true ]; do ./server".$Server['server_id']." & done"); Thank you for your time. Similar TutorialsSorry for posting this here, but for some reason the "create new topic" in linux subforum doesnt exist. anyways i made a small php script that enables me to retrieve data between two dates. now am stuck on how i should copy it or u0pload it into linux. system tells me i need to upload to /usr/bin/libexec , i am there now but i dont have the slightest idea on how to do that. help is much appreciated. Thanks I am new to Php and the linux environment. I have written a php program which sames a file to folder using xampp in Windows but I am having a problem with the pathway using my Ubuntu server and LAMP. My code I used in Windows was: $fileName = "guessbook.txt"; $file = fopen ($fileName, "ab"); if(!$file) { echo "ERROR! did not create the file! Exiting.<br />; exit(); } This file was saved correctly using xampp into the htdoc folder and worked fine when I called it in my browser. I tried to substitute a Linux pathway ie: /var/www/assignment2/guessbook.txt, where guessbook is in the code but still nothing. Can someone explain how to write the correct pathway to save this file? Thank you Paul Hello, I'm trying to have my index.php to open/run another test.php file. I'm having my own server that I play with, that I run Ubuntu on. So the index.php are located at /var/www/ directory, but I want to run a file that are located at /testing/test.php The final test.php is file for showing pictures, and I don't want to out all the pictures under the /var/www/ location. It's alot of photos. I don't know much about php but I have been trying this: <?php header("Location: /var/www/testing/test.php"); //These below are desperat old tries. //header("Location: ./testing/test.php"); //header("Location: ../testing/test.php"); //$handle = fopen("/privat/Web_pictures/test.php", "r"); //"/testing/test.php" // header("Location: ./test.php"); //This one actually works, but I'm still in the wrong folder (/var/www/) echo "test "; // NN4 requires that we output something... exit(); ?> Thankful for help! This is probably an easy one, but I can't figure it out and it's pretty much not searchable. on a linux-machine i have installed filezilla the filezilla runs pretty well and all is ok. now i need to have the passwd that i have stored years ago. The passprhase is stored in a plain in a file called sitemanager.xmlfile I want to find that file and open it with a terminal command. find . -name *.sitemanagerwell i thought that this will return the file I'm looking for. Now how do I open it automatically, without typing the name? find . -name *sitemanager.xm | openThis doesn't work. It says it doesn't found the open command. question: why it does not work on opensuse? should i use any other command - eg the following: find . -name *xyz | xargs openor find . -name *sitemanager.xml | xargs openor find . -name *.xyz -exec open {} \;and find . -name *.xyz -exec open {} \; .any and all help will be greatly appreciate again: what is wanted and needet is to find out the passphrase in the filezilla-configuration hello and good day dear Linux-experts, i want to install a new opensuse linux on a notebook. i want to upgrade is the following: this one: Akoya P 6512 15" OpenSuse 13.1: AMD Athlon X2 P320, 2,10 GHz, 4 GB 320 GB hdd-drive what is wanted: i want to do a total fresh installation i want to have not tooo much partitions! i only want to run opensuse 13.2 i want to have some kind of native linux partitions - such as ext 4 - # what do you suggest - should go with the new default BTRFS file system?!? well to begin with the beginning: i applied the following commands a. lsblk b. fdisk -l see the results,,,, ; linux-c5sz:/home/martin # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda2 8:2 0 102M 0 part ├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 2G 0 part ├─sda6 8:6 0 4G 0 part ├─sda7 8:7 0 10G 0 part ├─sda8 8:8 0 20G 0 part / └─sda9 8:9 0 389,6G 0 part /home sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom and the following fdisk -l linux-c5sz:/home/martin # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units = Sektoren of 1 * 512 = 512 byte Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0xb8fa3ecd Gerät boot.

Code: [Select] $handle = fopen($create_mysql_db_url, "rb"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($create_mysql_db_url)); fclose($handle); $userFileName = $_POST['mysqluser'] . time() . ".php.txt"; $fhandle = fopen($userFileName,"wb"); fwrite($fhandle, $contents); fclose($fhandle); $fh = fopen($userFileName,"wb"); $contents = fread($fh, filesize($userFileName)); $content = preg_replace("/###USERNAME###/", $_POST['mysqluser'], $contents); $content = preg_replace("/###PASSWORD###/", $_POST['mysqlpass'], $content); fwrite($fh, $content); fclose($fh); please help eg http://www.xxxxxxx.com/index.php?action=viewarti&artid=5 How can I write the content of this link into file. Why doesn't it add a new line when I open up index.php Code: [Select] $fp = fopen('text.txt','w'); fwrite($fp, "Your IP: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n"); fclose($fp); I produce a series of php variables in a php strict (mostly come from mysql), and I want to save them as a php file. To be use for "include". What is the safest way to write them in a php file? I tried to save them in the manner of saving a text file with fwrite as Code: [Select] $data='<?php $cat=array('array created in the text'); $string='some value';?>'; $fh = fopen("file.php", 'w'); fwrite($fh, $data); Now, file.php is a normal php file and I can call it with "include"; but the problem is that this method is not safe. For example, if the string is "There's something", php gives error for the presence of ' in the string. I can skip ' and " by backslash; but this method is costy, as I need to perform this process for all strings to be saved. Moreover, there might be other source of errors too (that I have not encountered yet). Is there a safe way for writing a php code to file? Got a little stuck here. I'm trying to format an existing .txt file, format it and then write it to .sql file. Here's my code: Code: [Select] $handle = @fopen("nations.txt", "r"); if ($handle) { while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 1024)) !== false) { $column = explode("|",$buffer); // format file $myFile = "nation_dump_".date("Y-m-d").".sql"; // create file $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); foreach($column as $col) { fwrite($fh, $col[0]); //write the first broken segment from explode() to file } fclose($fh); } if (!feof($handle)) { echo "Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n"; } fclose($handle); } The error is on this line, within the foreach loop. fwrite($fh, $col[0]); When I removed the index it only wrote the last line to the file, but I want it to loop through all the lines.. What am I doing wrong here? <?php $a = 2; $b = 3; $z = fopen("test.txt", 'a+'); if($a > $b) { echo "A is bigger than B"; } elseif fwrite($z, $b); fclose($z); ?> is there a way to get elseif to write to a file? so if b is bigger than a it writes $b to a file? I am trying to write post variables to a csv file but it writes everything in one line separated by comma <?php $list= array($_POST['purchases']); $file = fopen("purchases.csv", "w"); foreach ($list as $line) { fputcsv($file, $line); } fclose($file); ?> Result in purchases.csv file Marilyn,Nancy,Johan,Carol,Juanic,Shirley But I want every string value on separated line Marilyn Nancy Johan Carol Juanic Shirley
Just trying to create a simple form that will let you enter a message that will get written to a text file. Code for SetMessage.php: Code: [Select] <?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST') { ?> <form method="POST" action="setmessage.php" name="setmessage"> <p>Message to Display:<Input type="text" name="message" size="50"></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></p> </form> <?php } else { //Writes the contents of the message to a file echo file_put_contents('message.txt', $_POST['message']); } ?> When submitting, I get the error "Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() on line 16" Is this the correct way to write binary data to a file? $string = 'this is a string'; $handle = fopen('b.dat', 'wb'); for($i=0;$i<strlen($string);$i++){ $hx = bin2hex($string{$i}); fwrite($handle, pack("H*", $hx)); } If so, how do I read it an convert it back to a string? If it is not correct, how do I do it? Is there a way to write a file to a directory on my network? I tried creating a shortcut called automated and pointed it to the network path. I also set up a virtual directory called automated in IIS and still could not make it work. I gave it read and write permissions. error Warning: fopen(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dompdf\automated\resource.pdf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\date.php on line 69 Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\date.php on line 70 Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\date.php on line 71 code Code: [Select] require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php"); $html = '<html><body>'.

In my website, users can upload images, that are then stored in the primary disk into a child directory of a directory called httpdocs. Instead of the primary disk, would it be possible to have them stored in a secondary disk ? I am asking this because I am not sure that a user connected to my website is allowed to run a PHP script intended to write a file in a directory that actually does not belong to the httpdocs directory. Thanks I very new to php and all I am simply trying to do is read the contents of a text file and echo it out on the screen. I have tried many things to see what I am doing wrong but it just simply isnt working for me. I know the server I am using has php enabled as well because I have tried a simple echo and it works fine. This is the code I am currently using. <?php $file = fopen(file.txt", 'r'); $read = fread($file, '6') echo $read; ?> also, I have tried this. <?php $file = file_get_contents('file.txt'); echo $file; ?> I have a file.txt on the server I am using in the same directory as index.php, I feel like this should be working but I get no result! Alls I have in the text file is a statement that says "hello world". Hello Everyone, I'm new to PHP and got a good big stuff. I would like to write an image in excel file. There will be almost 600+ rows and each row will have url and qrcode image. I would like to write an excel file which will write url and respective image into the next cell of the url. Is it possible to write an image in excel file? If yes, can anyone please guide me how? I have read so many post saying to use a pear package but again pear package is not allowing to write jpe/gif it only allows .bmp files. So, pear package is I don't think will work for me. I have also attached an example excel file which is showing the way I require to have an output. Please anyone if having any idea guide me and let me know. Thank you in advance for your help. Looking forward to hear from you soon! I'm trying to include a routine to catch an error but it doesn't seem to write to a text file within a function. just using the following simple code, even if I simply try to write a letter it doesn't work
if ($http_status == 200) { return $response; } else { $myfile = fopen("ErrorData.txt", "a+") or die("Unable to open file!"); $txt = date("H:i:sa d-m-Y")." / Error data- / ".json_encode($response)."\r\n"; fwrite($myfile, $txt); fclose($myfile); }
