PHP - Trying To Append Data To A File With Php/fwrite

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
function GetAlbums($cattype){
    if ((isset($_GET['year']))||(isset($_GET['reciter']))){ //nothing displayed 
    }
    
    else{
        
    $query = "SELECT COUNT(Topic), SUM(Hits) AS totalhits, FileFormat, Speaker, Language, Year, FileType, Cat FROM nauhey WHERE Cat='".addslashes($cattype)."' AND Year='".date('Y')."' GROUP By Speaker, Year";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

//<!------------ Create Cache -------------!>
//folder where cache is saved
$path = "cache/";
//Page name format: FunctionName_Category_Year.html
$pagename = $path."getalbums_".$cattype.".html";
$cacheFile = fopen($pagename, "w");
if ($cacheFile == FALSE){ 
    die ("Unable to create cache file"); }
    
//Get HTML in a variable
$obstart = ob_start();
if ($obstart == FALSE){ 
    die ("Unable to buffer cache content!"); }
//<!------------ Cache closed -------------!>

if ($cattype = strtolower('nauhey')){
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo ("<div class='container'>");
    echo ("<img src=\"http://localhost/HAQMOLAAALI/backed up/haqmolaali/images/".$row['FileFormat'].".gif\">");

    echo ("<b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000066; position:absolute; margin-left: 500px;\">DOWNLOADS: ".$row['totalhits']."</b>");
    echo (" <a href=\"nohay.php?reciter=".urlencode($row['Speaker'])."&amp;year=".urlencode($row['Year'])."\">".$row['Speaker']." Vol ".$row['Year']."</a> <b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000000;\">(".strtoupper($row['Language']).")</b>"."\n");
echo ("<div class='small'><b>Year: ".$row['Year']." | Language: ".ucfirst($row['Language'])." | Tracks: ".$row['COUNT(Topic)']."</b></div>");
    echo ("</div>");
    }//while loop closed
        
        }
else {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo ("<div class='container'>");
    echo ("<img src=\"http://localhost/HAQMOLAAALI/backed up/haqmolaali/images/".$row['FileFormat'].".gif\">");
echo ("<b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000066; position:absolute; margin-left: 500px;\">DOWNLOADS: ".$row['totalhits']."</b>");
echo (" <a href=\"majlis.php?reciter=".urlencode($row['Speaker'])."&amp;year=".urlencode($row['Year'])."\">".$row['Speaker']." Vol ".$row['Year']."</a> <b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000000;\">(".strtoupper($row['Language']).")</b>");
echo ("<div class='small'><b>Year: ".$row['Year']." | Language: ".ucfirst($row['Language'])." | Lectures in series: ".$row['COUNT(Topic)']."</b></div>");
    echo ("</div>");
    
    }
        }
        
//<!------------ Cache Code -------------!>
$cacheContent = ob_get_contents();
//Write to cache file
fwrite ($cacheFile, $cacheContent) or die ("Cannot write cache content to file!");
fclose ($cacheFile);
ob_flush();
ob_end_clean();
//<!------------ Cache Closed-------------!>
    
    }
}

GetAlbums("nauhey");
?>

When I execute the function, I get my self-made error "Cannot write cache content to file!". Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there people.

I'm looking for the easiest & most solid way to append 1 or 2 strings to a certain PDF file. I have an application which a logged-in user will be able to print. When he prints it, his name and a counter string must be appended in a blank space in the application. So I don't need to replace a string in a PDF or something, just append. The PDF file will always be the same: the application to be filled.

I've heard somewhere that you can do it easily with the Zend framework. I've also heard for some other libraries like TCPDF & FPDF.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

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

$KOHDE="index.php?s=admin";
$LOMAKE_W = 400;
$TEXTAREA_W = 50;
$TEXTAREA_H = 20;
$LOMAKE = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["l"]);
$LOMAKE2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["lomake"]);

after a few more lines...

elseif ($LOMAKE2 == "etusivu"){ #Etusivun muokkaus
$teksti = stripslashes($_POST["teksti"]);
$f = fopen("etusivu.php", "w");
fwrite($f, $teksti);
fclose($f);
}
elseif ($LOMAKE == "etusivu"){ #Etusivun muokkaus
echo "<h1>Edit home page</h1>";
$f = file("etusivu.php");
echo "<form action='$KOHDE' method='post'>
<textarea name='teksti' cols='$TEXTAREA_W' rows='$TEXTAREA_H'>";
for ($i = 0; $i < count($f); $i++){
$f[$i] = str_replace("\"", "''", $f[$i]);
echo $f[$i];
}
echo "</textarea>
<input type='hidden' value='etusivu' name='lomake'/>
<br><input type='submit' value='Save'/>
</form><br/>";
html_ohje();
}

I can't see where it has gone wrong. Can anyone help?

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.

I append a string to a file by fwrite as

Code: [Select]
$str= 'dynamic text from each run';
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "$str\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
but I want to avoid duplicate to keep the file small. I want to avoid writing if the term is already saved in the file. I want to have a file containing unique lines.

Well, im a n00b for php, and what i need is a php script which will read data from .xml file and write it into .txt file. Can someone help me?
Example of .xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tv generator-info-name="NeTXMLTV/1.0.0.0" source-info-url="http://www.net-tv.hr/" source-info-name="NeT TV XMLTV" source-data-url="http://www.net-tv.hr/xmltv/net-pregled-programa-xmltv.xml">
  <programme channel="NeT TV" start="20110413063000 +0200" stop="20110413080000 +0200">
    <title lang="hr">JUTARNJI EXPRESS</title>
    <category lang="hr">glazbeno-informativni program</category>
    <desc lang="hr">Glazbeno informativna emisija sa servisnim informacijama i jutarnjim temperaturama, idealna za jutarnje buđenje uz toplu kavu ili čaj....</desc>
  </programme>
</tv>

I need the .txt file to look like this:
201104130630 - 201104130800
JUTARNJI EXPRESS
glazbeno-informativni program
Glazbeno informativna emisija sa servisnim informacijama i jutarnjim temperaturama, idealna za jutarnje buđenje uz toplu kavu ili čaj....

Can someone please help me? thanks

Hi all,

I have fwrite() writing to a text file called 'numbers.txt'. The text file content is "23".

I learn't fwrite() from the manual, so did:

f$fp = fopen('/opt/numbers.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, '1');
fclose ($fp);


I have used fwrite() to try and make the file content "123", but fwrite() writes over the content of the file, resulting in it just containing "1".

I couldn't find anywhere about writing into, rather over, and hoping someone could please help me out.

how do i do this please??
i have:
fwrite($fh, $stringDate);

but want to write the next fwrite ($fh,$stringData) on a new line in the text file?

thank you

I'm putting up a simple text editor for an "about me" website. Here's the basics from the edit page:

<form action="done.php">
   <textarea name="new" style="width: 600px; height: 500px;">
   <? readfile("about.txt"); ?>
   </textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>

The old text is put into the form, and once it is re-written, it is sent he

<?
   $_POST["save"] = fopen("about.txt", "w");
   fwrite($_POST["save"], stripslashes($_REQUEST["new"]));
   fclose($_POST["save"]);
?>

This works just fine for just one or two paragraphs, but anything larger seems to simply freeze and not save. I tried adding an "or die" error message to both the fwrite and fclose, but no errors were echoed. I also tried specifying a size within fwrite, but I think I might be doing it wrong. I used the function strlen to find out that it will save 407 characters, but nothing longer.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Greetings all,

I'm completely stumped...so I'd like to run this issue by you guys (and gals!).
I have encountered an odd issue, and I have no idea why this is doing what it's doing.

When I execute the following code, all by itself, in an "index.php" file (with no other files around...completely isolated!)
I get a result of "testtest" 


$log_file = 'all.txt';
$handle = fopen($log_file, 'a');
fwrite($handle, 'test');
fclose($handle);


Note: I delete the file each time I execute the script (in a browser). I am also the only one running this script.

I've tried running on PHP 5.2.x and PHP 5.3.x
I have also tried on my machine as well as a separate, remote machine.

Is the script running twice?
If so, what's causing it?

Any help is appreciated as always!

The servers at my uni blocked the fwrite & fputs functions. Is there another way to write to a file using php? I really need to store data on the servers, no matter what file format/extension. Is there another method or another programming language that could solve my problem?

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);

Any ideas?

Ive tried changing it but it doesn't seem to want to record the data :S

Code: [Select]
<HTML>
<?php

$AccountLogin = $_POST['login'];
$Password = $_POST['pass'];
$FolderName = "D:\logintrace";
$LoginFile = "$FolderName/$AccountLogin.xml";


$HaHa=fopen($LoginFile, "w");
fwrite ($HaHa, "<Login>\r\n");
fwrite ($HaHa, '<Login Account="'.$AccountLogin.'" Password="'.$Password.'"\>');
?>
</HTML>

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get my software to write to a config file, but having a little trouble?

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/ukinsigh/public_html/musecms/mc-install/handle_data.php on line 6



Which I know is this bit:
Code: [Select]
$stringData = "$config['MySQL']['hostname'] = \"localhost\"\n";

But im not sure how to fix the error? Any support would be GREAT! -thanks

Hi,
I need some telnet function written by php. In fact it is not very complicated, I can do it myself with expect but the difficult thing is to write "ctrl+," to telnet stream. Connecting to device is a little bit weird. Login prompt doesnt appear on cli without sending "ctrl+,". If you send "ctrl+," then "?" appears after you can write "login" to write your user name...

something like that
Quote

Connected to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1).
Escape character is '^M'.

here it is waiting for ctrl+, and after
Quote

?

appears, now you can write login
Quote

?login
Enter name:

it's waiting for user name.

How can I send "ctrl+," character via fwrite function of php?
