PHP - Help With Creating Directories On Server!
I have written a piece of code that create a directories, files on the server using mkdir and touch and also inserts the form data into the table.. the code gets executed and the info gets stored in the database but the part which has the create directories. and files dont work as it doesnt create the directory and files on the server.. do i need to make changes to the php.ini file to enable the mkdir and touch feature to get enabled? as i said the code executes without any error.. I dont know wat to do.. please any help would be appreciated!!
thanku Similar TutorialsIs it possible to do this? fpdf just opens a dialog box asking the user to save the pdf instead of saving it on the server. Also, is it possible to create a pdf from the data in a mysql table with PHP? Thanks! Hi. I am trying to create a simple video file server. I finished the skeleton of it but when it came to creating the multitude of pages I realized that there could be an easier way to do it.
I started out basically getting the folder names in the server then printing them on the page.
<?php
$dirs = glob("*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
echo '<ul>';
foreach($dirs as $dir)
{
$forbidden_folders = array("not4u", "ignore", Styles);
$filename = str_replace($forbidden_folders, '', $dir);
if (!empty($filename))
{
echo '<li><a href="'.$dir.'">'.$dir.'</a></li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>'
?>
Then I created in each of the folders with files a php file with this code:
<?php
function date_sort_desc($a, $b)
{
preg_match('/\w+ \d{4}/', $a, $matches_a);
preg_match('/\w+ \d{4}/', $b, $matches_b);
$timestamp_a = strtotime($matches_a[0]);
$timestamp_b = strtotime($matches_b[0]);
if ($timestamp_a == $timestamp_b) return 0;
return $timestamp_a < $timestamp_b;
}
$files = array();
$dir = opendir('.');
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir))) {
if(($file != ".") and ($file != "..") and ($file != "index.php")) {
$files[] = $file;
}
}
natsort($files);
$i = 0;
foreach($files as $file) {
$i++;
$string = str_replace("TV Show Name S1 E$i - ", '' , $file);
echo '<div><a href="../Discriptions/'.$file.'.php">'.basename($string, '.m4v').'</a></div><br>';
}
?>
This opens up a php file with the same file name as the file to be played containing the episode's thumbnail and description. That file then contains a link pointing back to the real file. The problem here is that I'd have to make a new php file for every file in my collection. I'm wondering if there's somehow a way to simplify all of this.
Edited by chrisyroid, 11 August 2014 - 12:13 AM. Hi, Well I have been working on Php for quite sometime but creating Word Docs is something I am totally new to. I googled about this and found different methods of creating word documents via php. The most promising one that I found involves writing HTML code and inside header, save it as a *.doc file (I know thats not exactly a Word File but what else can be done). Like this, Code: [Select] header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); The whole word document came out perfectly fine, but there was one little problem (later on turned out to be the BIGGEST one) was placing images in the document. All the images were saved on a secure server so like we do in HTML, I used the following line of code, <img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> The word document appeared to be fine for me, but when that document was sent to the client, client was unable to view the images. Now, I guess you all know what my question would be, and that is, is there a way we could somehow make this work. I even tried downloading all the images to disk and giving their path, still in the end, the document only needs to be sent to the client and images do not appear. Please help me in this regards, Thanks in advance to all P.S. Please see the following sample (mini) code of the real thing, real document is a bit toooooooo big and kind of confidential Code: [Select] <?php header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); ?> <html> <head> <title>TCS Monthly Report $month $year</title> </head> <body> <b><h3> Monthly Operational User Statistics</h3></b> <br> The red line is users logged in over the month. The green area is users recently logged in (last few days).<br> <br><img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> </body> </html> Hi, I have made a basic html site and it has two forms on it. I have the forms linking to a file called process.php. Basically i need to know what code to put in the php file in order for the forms to save whatever is entered in them to a txt file on my server or computer. Or any other easier way to do the same thing, save the content of two forms on my site. Hope i posted this in the right forum subject. Thanks very much for anyone that helps. I am using the following code: Code: [Select] <?php $target = "images/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } ?> I am using this to upload photos to the directory called 'images'. How could I change this code so that I can choose an existing directory to upload it to and also create a new directory to upload it to if I wanted? So I have a simple template that I want to be the index page of the website that I'm working on, however, I don't want to have to create several almost identical files for each of the directories.
Is there perhaps anyway that I can change the content of the main div yet the address be a different directory.
So for example, this is the main index page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <head> <title>Matthew Noskiw's website - Home</title> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='./inc/CSS/styles/default.css' /> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='./inc/CSS/static/navigation.css' /> </head> <body> <div id='Container'> <div id='Header'> <div class='right'> <ul id='Navigation'> <li id='NavButton' class='active'><a href='./'>Home</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./about'>About</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./blog'>Blog</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./contact'>Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <span>noskiw.co.uk</span> </div> <hr /> <div id='MainContent'> <h2>Home</h2> <br /> <span> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

What I want to happen is that when I change the page, for example, go to /about I want it to read <h2>About</h2>. I have 4 different pages for this so far, is there any way to get it down to just one yet they be in different directories? P.S The reason this is in the PHP Help section is because I assumed that it would more than likely be something to do with PHP. Edited by ghostrider1337, 02 August 2014 - 02:36 PM. Hey guys does anyone know of a good dynamic directory solution? What i mean by this is when i am creating an application and i use require_once 'includes/config.php'; and then i create a class that needs the config file so i include it into the class like so: require_once '../include/config.php'; then i make a new folder named member then i have to require this class (created above) and it fails to find the directory. What would be a good solution for this? Thanks guys!!

I am a php newb. I have 2 somewhat simple problems. First I have a huge list of movies that I would like sorted in a drop down list alphabetically. I already have the drop down list made and the movies show up correctly. But I cannot figure out how to sort the list. Here is the code <?php $dir="/backup/Movies"; if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php") { $thelist .= '<option>'.$file.'</option>'; } } closedir($handle); } ?> <form action="listen.php" method="post" name="table"> <select name="Movie"> <P><?=$thelist?></p>' </select> </form> Second problem is inside this directory there are a few other directories is it possible to make the directories show at the top instead of them being sorted alphabetically with the movies. Thanks in advance Jake i need to convert the following path Code: [Select] $url=http://www.test.com/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpg to Code: [Select] $updated_url= /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpgThe directories in the url are created dynamically Right now what i am doin is Code: [Select] $updated_url='/home/vhosts/'.$url.'/httpdocs/images/'.basename($url)which gives me /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/thumb. But I also need to get the directories 1/7/4/7/9. It may be differ for different urls. Can this be done through some form of string replacement or pattern matching method? Hello everyone, This is a fairly simple question, but the explanation of the question isn't... I'll do my best. I have a site where my folders/sub-folders/files are arranged similar to this: _ Root Folder -| Root-IncludeFile1.php | Root-IncludeFile2.php | _ | Sub-Folder 1 -| Sub1-File1.php | |_Sub1-File2.php | _ | Sub-Folder 2 -| Sub2-File1.php | |_Sub2-File2.php | _ |_Sub-Folder 3 -| Sub3-IncludeFile1.php |_Sub3-IncludeFile2.php Hopefully that makes sense to everyone. Anyway, I know that to include a file that is in the root folder in file in a sub-folder, I can do this - include("../includefile1.php"); -but I'm trying to include a file that is in a sub folder in a file that is in another sub-folder. For example, I'm trying to include "Sub3-IncludeFile1.php" in "Sub-File1.php" I'm lost on this because I can't get it to work. I'm not getting any error messages except to say that the variables located in the file that should be included are not found. I've tried to do this: include("http://www.mysite.com/Sub-Folder3/Sub3-IncludeFile1.php"); and it doesn't work. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your help.

That's how it looks anyway. It's really just some URL rewriting. I'm looking to submit a form and use the code on the same page to handle the form via isset(). The problem is, however, that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; redirects me back to the original base/index.php page, while nothing gets submitted. I can sort of see why, but is there any way to overcome it? I could probably use the actual file and variable names, but that isn't very practical as I intend on using this code as a basis for a much larger scale. I'm not too fond of using external pages as sources for the form action either for the same reason. My intentions were to have everything handled on a single page. Also, feel free to post constructive criticism on how to improve the code. I'm rather new to PHP and will need all the help I can get. .htaccess code Code: [Select] RewriteRule base/([a-zA-Z]+)/$ base/index.php?cat=$1 RewriteRule base/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.php$ base/index.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2 index.php code Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Index</title> </head> <body> <?php $cat=$_GET['cat']; $subcat=$_GET['subcat']; if (isset($cat)){ if ($cat=='foo'){ if (isset($subcat)){ if($subcat=='bar'){ if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { echo 'Entry Submitted Successfully'; } else{ ?> <h1>Add an Entry</h1> <div> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <div> <span>Field:</span> <span><input type="text" size="15" /></span> </div> <div> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> </div> </form> </div> <p> <a href="/base/">Return to Base Page</a> </p> <?php } } else { echo 'Error: Not a valid sub-category.'; } } else { ?> <h1>Select an Option</h1> <ul> <li><a href="bar.php">Add Entry</a></li> </ul> <p> <a href="/base/">Return to Base Page</a> </p> <?php } } else { echo 'Error: Not a valid Category.'; } } else{ ?> <h1>Base Page</h1> <h2><a href="foo/">Go to "Select an Option" page</a></h2> <ul> <li><a href="foo/bar.php">Go to "Add an Entry" page</a></li> </ul> <?php } ?> </div> </body></html> sorry you guys, but another question here from a mildly-talented PHP user..... I started designing a website for someone with wordpress, however like all 3rd party apps, it's very limited in what it can do when a need arises that is complex in nature, which is what I have. I'm using GoDaddy as a hosting company and their cPanel tool can't do this, so I must use PHP or something similar to get it done. Here's what I've got: => I have many dirs and subdirs on my site. the reason for this is to partition/separate out many files that cover a wide variety of topics. so the addresses look kind of like this:
> www.domain.com/content/software/ms-office/ms-access What I would like to do, because the site won't be available to the general public for a few months yet, is give people who want to know what the site is about a preview of what they will see in 3 months. But these people always have only one discipline/focus for their job. So I'd like to let them look at the content on the site that is only relevant to their expertise (for instance, like above, the "ms-access" dir), because I can't be showing them the other free resources offered by the site owner, especially if the owner brings in revenue for his business using that knowledge. So in the above example, how could I use PHP/MYSQL to issue separate usernames and passwords for 2 different people => 1 that wants to look at ms access content (they would only have access to "ms-office/ms-access" and "advanced/code-samples"), and 1 that wants to look at visual studio content ("ms-dot-net/visual-studio")?? Ideally what I'd like to do is only have to issue one password *per* software category dir, and have that password work for any other nested dirs lower than that. So in the above example, giving credentials for access would allow the user to view any page on, or nested below the dir "ms-access". If they try to view any file in any other dir, regardless of whether it is higher or lower on the directory tree, I want to block them. Can this be done? GoDaddy's tool can't do it. It would also be nice if I could issue a universal redirect to a landing page/login page as the result given to a user that tries to access any given page on this website for the first time, if they typed in a literal URL instead of going to the homepage. I hope you guys can help me figure this out, or maybe point me to some good internet resources where I can learn how to do it myself. thanks! (by the way, I know I can use PHP/MYSQL to produce dynamic pages with query strings, but I just chose this method to make it easier for the next developer to follow, because they're not that intellectual) |
