PHP - Read A Line From A File And Compare It

Hi, I am relatively new to PHP, and I am making a php script that will FTP into a server and add a donator's ID to a text file.

However, I need it to check and see if the user is already listed under a usergroup in that file, and if so, remove those lines of text. Here's an example of what values in the file look like.

Basically, I don't know how I could compare the contents of the file and delete it or replace parts of it when necessary

Code: [Select]
"STEAM_0:0:33358541"
{
"deny"
{
}
"group" "moderator"
"name" "TR Cpt. K. Reese"
"allow"
{
}
}
Also, notice the "deny"{} and "allow"{} These are used for storing special commands that you allow or disallow the user to have in a game. How would i get a PHP script to ignore that...
This uses STEAM's framework for userids. All help is appreciated!!

Thanks!

I have a script that reads a .gz file into an array and prints the name of each record but will not work on larger files. Is there a way to read 1 line at a time?
Here is the code I have so far.
Code: [Select]
<?php

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {

print "<ol>";
    
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if($file != '..' && $file!="." && $file!="start_update.php" && $file!="sharons_dbinfo.inc.php" && $file!="root.php" && $file!="read_directory.php" && $file!="read_dir.php" && $file!="new_category.php" && $file!="index.php" && $file!="file_count.php" && $file!="dir_loop2.php" && $file!="dir_loop1.php" && $file!=".htaccess" && $file!="Answer.txt" && $file!="Crucial_Technology-Crucial_US_Product_Catalog_Data_Feed.txt"){
$filename = $file;
$go = filesize($filename);
if($go >= 1){
$filename2 = explode("-", $filename);
$filename2 = $filename2[0];
echo str_replace("_"," ",$filename2) . ' | Filesize is: ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes<br>';
$gz = gzopen($filename, 'r');
$lines = gzfile($filename,10000);
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$line2 = explode(",", $line);
$line2 = str_replace("," , "-" , $line2);
    echo "<li>".str_replace("," , "-" , $line2[4])."</li><br>";
}

}
}
    }

    closedir($handle);
}
?>
</ol>

Hi there,

I have an xml file which actually hold the currency conversion information which I downloaded from xe.com

In the xml, the currency section snapshot looks like this:

<currency>
<csymbol>EUR</csymbol>
<cname>Euro</cname>
<crate>0.713</crate>
<cinverse>1.403 </cinverse>
</currency>
this is the conversion of USD to Euro. And it tells how much is 1USD gonna be in Euros. i.e 1 USD = 0.713 EUR

I have a product page on my website having the rates shown in USD.

For the visitor is accessing the page from Europe it has to show the converted price in Euros.

My application can detect the visitors country if hes accessing the page from Europe so that is not a problem.

I just need to read the xml file and display the converted price based on the rates in the xml file.

How can I read the xml file and output the price in Euros based on the rate.

Thank you.

All comments and feedbacks are always welcome

CSV File Reading
Displaying CSV file: Clicking the Show Logfile.txt link at the top of the page should display the CSV records inside logfile.txt
Displaying CSV records formatted : Clicking the Show logfile.txt Formatted should display the CSV records formatted in an HTML table is descending order (more recent records are at the top).
Use this function to convert CSV records back to an array : fgetcsv()
   
I have most of this done and the problem I'm having is trying to read what  I put into the file. (I hard coded what should go into the file). Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I should do to fix it?

Code: [Select]
<?
 
 if ($_POST['_act'] = 'csv'):
$fp = fopen('logfile.txt', 'a');
while (($data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE){
print_r($data);
}
fclose($fp);
 endif;
 
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'):

if (empty($_POST['fullname'])):
$errMsg['fullname'] = "Please fill in Your Full Name.";
endif;
if (ereg("'Mr\. '", $_POST['fullname']) == false):
$errMsg['fullname'] = "Please fill in Your Full Name.";
endif;
print_r($errMsgs); echo count($errMsgs);

if (count($disperrMsgs > 0)):
$dispErrMsgs = true;
else:
$fp = fopen('logfile.txt', 'a');
$fputcsv($fp, array("test", "lol", "roool"));
fclose($fp);


$dispSuccessMsg = true;
endif;


endif;

how can I make php read a file with ids in the format

23423423
32423423
23423454
56667777

and output each id to $id[]?

I need some assistance in trying to resolve some issue I have with some code. Currently when I click on an upload button, this should read my csv file and the put the data into phpmyadmin but after looking around various forums and websites I still can not seem to get this to work any assistance would be appreciated.

The uploaded file contains dates, time, blank fields, true and false and text.  I will need to prevent sql injection and html entities like ampersand sign.

After uploading the file, it only reads the first line of my csv file which contains the title of each column and nothing is put into phpmyadmin 

Hi,

I have a Excel File Reader script that works perfectly on my private development hosting, the Excel file is read and then the contents are displayed to the page with the help of a for loop.  The trouble is when I try it out on my work's hosting space the script does nothing, no error messages or anything.  I have not changed anything and all paths ect are correct.
What else could be causing this?

Hi,

I want to read image file and write in to word document file using php. Actually i am developing shopping cart site. for that i have created barcode image. i need to take print outs. for example if i click print means same barcode should be generate 64 times in word document. how i do it?

i have tried with COM. please check the following code


<?php
// starting word

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";

//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;

//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();

//do some weird stuff


for($i=1;$i<=64;$i++)
{
   
$word->Selection->InlineShapes->AddPicture("D:\Program Files\wamp\www\b.jpg ",false, True);

}


$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("D:\Program Files\wamp\www\Uselesstest.doc");

//closing word
$word->Quit();

//free the object
$word = null;
?>


It works fine in local. but it is not working in server  (it says COM.class is missing). i have checked some forums they said it works with MS based operation system.  i have checked with windows only.

Hi All, sure this is simple but I'm still new to php/mySQL so errors are abundant!

I have a simple form with one input: a browse button so the user can find a .csv file on their computer.  User then clicks button, upon which I would like the file to be read and the contents put into an array, and the values to be added to the database. I do not need the file to be stored (uploaded).

So far my code is not erroring, it just doesn't add the values to the db.  I'm wondering if it's just that I HAVE to upload and save the file to the webserver else I can't read it?

if(isset($_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'])&& $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'] !=''){

$file_to_import = $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'];
$import_data = file($file_to_import);
print_r($import_data);
if ($import_data !=''){
for($index = 1; $index < sizeof($import_data); $index++){
$order_data = explode(",",$import_data[$index]);
tep_db_query("UPDATE orders SET act_shipping_cost = '" . $order_data[8]. "' WHERE orders_id = '". $order_data[0]."'");
echo "done it";
}
}else{
echo 'error cant read file!';

Apologies if I'm being a complete dunce!

Hi,

I assigned a project where i have to import the mobile numbers from the file, but i have no idea how to proceed this.  What kind of file to accept as input and how to read.


Thanks

First, my goals:
- The user selects a text file on their local PC (or their local network drive) to process.
- I want to read the file into an array and process it.

I'm having trouble with this. Here is my code so far:

<?php session_start(); 
$title='Import File v.10a';
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <?php 
  echo '<title>'.$title.'</title>';
  ?>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
require_once('navmenu.php');
echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
?>

<!-- comment -->
<?php
// Connect to the database 
$dbc = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database);

$errcnt=0;
$models=array(); //Init array
$bullarr=array();
$model='';
$partname='';
$partsubname='';
$image='';
$ptype=''; //Product type in {type} tag.

if (isset($_POST['cmdImport'])) //Save records that were changed.
    {
    $filename=$_POST['txtFilename']; //File on user's machine.
    $s='You are importing '.$filename;
    crDebug($s); //DEBUG
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['txtFilename']['tmp_name'], 'upload/'))
    {
    $filename=$_FILES['txtFilename']['name'];
    $s='Received '.$filename;
    crInfomsg($s);
    }
    else {
    $errmsg='File upload failed. Error is '.$_FILES['txtFilename']['error'];
        crError($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' line '.__LINE__,$errmsg,true);
    }
   
    if (!(file_exists($filename)))
     {
     $errmsg='File '.$filename.' does not exist. Cannot continue.';
        crError($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' line '.__LINE__,$errmsg,true);
     }
    else {
     }
    } //if isset($_POST['cmdImport']

?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?'.SID; ?>" method="post">

<?php
$oldbrandarr=array(); //Init array.
    //Do query and loop here.
    //Show brands from zzbrands.
    $query = "SELECT bzz ".
    "FROM zzb ".
    "ORDER BY br ".
    ";";
    //crInfomsg($query); //DEBUG
    crCreateSelect($query, 'cbxBrand', 'brand')
?>

<p>Input file: <input type="file" name="txtFilename" id="txtFilename" value="" size="80" /> 

<br/><input type="submit" value="Import" name="cmdImport" />
</form>

</body>
</html>


My problem is I get an error each time "File upload failed" which is displayed above when I try to do move_uploaded_file().

I'm not experienced processing text files. Can someone help me or point me to a website?

One more thing, the subdir "upload" is located at the same level as this php file. That is where the uploaded files will go temporarily.
