PHP - Installation: Writing Data To A Variable, In Another File
Say I have an installation file, and they type in all their database information & click submit. How would I get that information to open up a file called config.php, and write to the $db_host, $db_pass, $db_user, and $db variables only?
Is this possible? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, I am not that versed in PHP. I have been working with this snippet of code that I found on a tutorial site. It works like 97% and I get the format mostly like I need it. Except, I can not figure how to add an extra single node to the list. The code generates 20 random numbers and puts them into an array. The array is then used to create a numbers node in the xml file. It goes through and creates all the nodes. I can not seem to figure out how to put a single game numbernode at the top of all the numbers nodes. I am also not understanding how to write the output to create the actual xml file. I have written code in the past to write a string to a text file but I am not sure about this because it is in an array? The xml file will be appended every 5 minutes for data comparison down the road. I think I will need to add a routine that calls the data back in at the beginning of the script and looks for the last game number if it is there and add 1. The game number must increment each time it is appended. Any ideas on how to finish this up? The final out put will look like this. I only did a few lines instead of all 20 numbers to keep this short. Code: [Select] <?xml version="1.0"> <Container> <gamenumber>10</gamenumber> <numbers>47</numbers> <numbers>10</numbers> <numbers>5</numbers> <numbers>27</numbers> </Container> My Script Code: [Select] <?php $balls = range(1,80); shuffle($balls); $pick = array_slice($balls,1,20); //$drawn = implode(", ",$pick); $arraySize = sizeof($pick); // print ("Arraw is $drawn\n\n"); $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->formatOutput = true; $drawn = array(); $r = $doc->createElement( "Container" ); $doc->appendChild( $r ); for ($i=0; $i!= $arraySize; $i++){ $drawn [] = array( 'numbers' => $pick[$i], ); } foreach( $drawn as $draw ) { $numbers = $doc->createElement( "numbers" ); $numbers->appendChild( $doc->createTextNode( $draw['numbers'] ) ); $r->appendChild( $numbers); } echo $doc->saveXML(); ?> Thanks for your advise and help!!! Hi Everyone, I'm new to PHP freaks, and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. I have written some code for a html page and used php to retrieve confirm whether or not data is in a text file. I also tried to write some code to insert the data supplied to my html page to the text file but it's not working. Can someone help me figure out what my issue is. I have attached my text file, and my php code as well. Below you'll find the code I used for my html page.

I am going through the tutorial found at http://goo.gl/69MeY and in my ultimate wisdom have decided to see if I can create a form, which you input some text, and then in the php file that handles the form in puts that variable into a text document using the fwrite function, basically creating a file from the website containing whatever text you put in. There is no specific purpose to this idea, I am just trying to implement everything I have learnt so far. Form: http://pastebin.com/J62UHBeT PHP Handler: http://pastebin.com/FHuaKkxD I someone could point me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated Thanks in advance Michael Hi folks, Ok, I know how to write to a file, but what I'm looking for is to check if a line of code exists, and if it is, don't recreate it. It would also be nice to not recreate the file either. Code: [Select] $file = fopen("index.html", "w"); fwrite($file,"This is a line of text"); fclose($file); Hey Guys. I am trying to write to the file depending on which condition is met. The code works fine on my local machiene but not on my remote server. I have also tried to output any error messages to see if it would output anything, and I don't get anyting on my browser. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks

Greetings,
I am new to these forums, I am working on this assignment, and these are the current issues I am running into.
Notice: Undefined variable: year in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 77
ie. $year = validateInput($year,"Birth Year");
Notice: Undefined variable: year_count in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 138
ie. echo "<p>You are person " . $year_count . "to enter " . $year . "</p>\n";
Honestly, I believe they are linked, because what should be happening, as the user enters the year, and hits submit, it should create a file called counts/$year.txt - $year should equal the entered data in the textbox, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your help.

Edited by mstevens, 16 October 2014 - 06:36 PM. I have a code for writing a log file... The code is working fine but it inserts the new details at the bottom of the file but i want to insert in the top... So what function should i use... Here is the file my_log.php Code: [Select] <?php $usname = $_SESSION['usname']; date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta'); $date = date("l dS \of F Y h:i:s A"); $file = "log.php"; $open = fopen($file, "a+"); fseek($open,289); fwrite($open "<b><br/>USER NAME:</b> ".$usname . "<br/>"); fwrite($open, "<b>Date & Time:</b> ".$date. "<br/>"); fwrite($open, "<b>What have they done :</b> ".$reason . "<br/><br/>"); fclose($open); ?> and here is my log.php file : Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); if($_SESSION['stage']!=1 || $_SESSION['stage2']!=2) {header('location:index.php'); die(" "); } ?> <?php if($_GET['valu']=="view_log") { $reason=" ".$_SESSION['usname']."

What should i do... ANy helo would be appreciated Pranshu Agrawal pranshu.a.11@gmail.com I'm trying to write to a file with the following code. $fh = fopen("../inc/config.php", "a") or die("\r\nCan't open file."); $write = "\$config['database_host'] = {$mysqlh}; \$config['database_user'] = {$mysqlu}; \$config['datbase_pass'] = {$mysqlp}; \$config['datbase_name'] = {$dbn}; \$config['table_prefix'] = {$tp};"; fwrite($fh, $write); fclose($fh); It is printing out "Can't open file", which I guess means it can't find the file or I've given the wrong path. The file that is executing this code is /install and the file I'm trying to write to is /inc/config.php. I thought .. put you up a directory so if I do .. I will be at the root and then do /inc I will be in inc. Can someone please guide me on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. I need help! I cant get this to write the correct way! What i need is based on the value of what is posted to the script it has to write it in the config file and also make a folder! Please help Code: [Select] <?php $start = '$uploadpath=\''; $structure = '../banner/images/'.$_POST['FOLDER'].'\';\n'; $myFile = "PHP/confup.php"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = "<?\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "$start $structure"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "?>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); // Desired folder structure // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter // to mkdir() must be specified. if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) { die('Failed to create folders...'); } // ... ?> I am using a script I adapted from a tutorial to print the contents of a text box to a txt file. Basically, it's a really simple way of seeing who has logged in. I only have a handful of users. The problem is, although the text file is being created in the proper folder, it isn't being written to and just remains blank. <div align="center"> <table width="300" border="2" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" style="-moz-border-radius: 18px; -webkit-border-radius: 18px;" height="120" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php"> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" background="images/loginbg.jpg" style="-moz-border-radius: 15px; -webkit-border-radius: 15px;"> <tr align="center"> <td colspan="3"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>Family Login </strong></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="78"><font color="#000000">Username</font></td> <td width="6">:</td> <td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"> <?php $myusername = $_POST['myusername']; $data = "$myusername\n"; //open the file and choose the mode $fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a"); fwrite($fh, $data); fclose($fh); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><font color="#000000">Password</font></td> <td>:</td> <td><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </form> </tr> </table> </div> I'm not sure what's going wrong but I'm guessing it's the placing of the php, or at least some of it. I'd quite like to add the time they logged in as well. Any idea's anyone? This topic has been moved to Other Libraries and Frameworks. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=306916.0 I just wrote a php page that pulls live data from a database and presents it in an XML layout. In Internet Explorer, I can Edit, Select All, then Copy-Paste and save as XML. The resulting XML works fine. In Firefox, I can click File, Save Page As, select Text Files, then name it as an XML. Again, it works fine as XML. So..... how do I skip the Copy/Paste (IE) or Save Page As (Firefox) steps and write the output directly to an XML file? I've played with stdout(), buffers, page capturing utilities (wget, cURL, httrack, etc....), but no luck so far. This creates a pretty intense page due to the amount of data involved (1.3+ MB). Any help is appreciated! Is it possible to write to an exact line and column of a text file with PHP like with fwrite or something? Ok I need to write an array to a file here is the code if($place[2] < 10){ echo "Account Invalid"; $account = var_dump($account_data[$i][0]); echo $account; $fp3=fopen('invalid.txt', 'a+'); fwrite($fp3, $account); fclose($fp3);} when I try if($place[2] < 10){ echo "Account Invalid"; $account = var_dump($account_data[$i][0]); echo $account; $fp3=fopen('invalid.txt', 'a+'); fwrite($fp3, $account_data[$i][0]); fclose($fp3);} I just get "Array[1]" written to the file.. What can I do to write the array to the file? Thanks I have a file named example.xml I want to know how to write to the 3rd line on this file? What function to use? I want to be able to write to this xml file right after the <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> tag. Please someone tell me how? Much appreciated.
