Hi guys,

I have added a column in a database, I know how to read the information from the database but I don't know how to check with the column name called "public" whether if the cell has text called enabled or disabled, then add the href link in enabled or disabled text in my php. I need it to allow the clients to control on their own account.

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbtable');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {
  die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
  
    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);
    if($username == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
    if($password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'PASSWORD ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
  $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'";
  $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());


if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  $qrytable1="SELECT images, id, public FROM members WHERE username='$username'";
  $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {  
     echo '<p id="images"> <a href="images.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Images</a></td> | <a href="http://' .  $row["links"] . '">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Delete</a> </td> | Enabled | Disabled';
  }
 }
}
?>
What I am trying to achieve is to check the column name called "public" whether if it has text that stored in the database (it could be enabled or disabled) then add the hyperlink in that text of enabled or disabled in the php page so it would allow the user to click one of the link to allow the hyperlink to switch over from enabled to disabled.

E.G: A user is going to click the enabled text with the hyperlink to change the text in the database from enabled to disabled and remove the hyperlink in the php page from enabled to add the hyperlink in the disabled text.

Do anyone know how to do this?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I currently am working on a project where I code a "simple" telephone directory.

There are three main tasks that it needs to do:
1. Directory.php(index page) has a "First Name" and "Last Name" field and a search button. When a name is searched from the directory.txt file, it displays First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in findinfo.php in designated text boxes...first name, last name, etc.

2. From the findinfo.php, like previously stated, the users information is listed in the appropriate text boxes. From there, there is an update button that will overwrite the user's information to directory.txt if that button is selected. It will then say the write was sucessful.

3. (completed this step) From the index page, there is a link that will take you to addnew.php where you enter First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in a web form and write it to directory.txt.

 This is the php code for the third step:

<?php
$newentryfile = fopen("directory.txt", "a+");
$firstname = $_POST['fname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$newentry = "$firstname $lastname\n\r $address\n\r $city, $state $zip\n\r $phone\n\r";
if (flock($newentryfile, LOCK_EX)) {
if (fwrite($newentryfile, $newentry) > 0)
echo "<p>" . stripslashes($firstname) . " " .
 stripslashes($lastname) . " has been added to the directory.</p>";
else
echo "<p>Registration error!</p>";
flock($newentryfile, LOCK_UN);
}
else
echo "<p>Cannot write to the file. Please try again later</p>";
fclose($newentryfile);

if(empty($firstname) || empty($lastname) || empty($address) || empty($city) || empty ($state) || empty($zip) || empty($phone))
{
echo "<p>Please go back and fill out all fields.</p>";
}
?>


So to sum it all up, what would be my best approach? I am totally stumped and not sure which function to use. Should I work my way from step 1 to step 2? I see it as when I do the search for the name from directory.php, it takes me to findinfo.php, listing the users information in the text boxes. From there, if I needed to, having the user's information already listed I could hit the update button to overwrite the new information to directory.txt. Doing the update when then tell me that the write was successful.

I have literally been scouring the internet for hours. What would be the best function to do this? I hope I was clear enough. Please help me out and thank you for your time.

Ok i have been working on this for a day+ now. here is my delema

simple .ini text file. when a user makes a change (via html form) it makes the correct adjustments.
problem is the newline issue

1. if i put a "\n" at the end (when using fputs) works great, except everytime they edit the file it keeps adding a new line (i.e. 10 edits there are now 10 blank lines!!!!)
2. if i leave off the "\n" it appends the next "fgets" to that lilne making a mess

Code: [Select]
##-- Loop thruoght the ORIGINAL file
    while( ! feof($old))
    {
        ##-- Get a line of text
        $aline = fgets($old);
       
        ##-- We only need to check for "="
        if(strpos($aline,"=") > 0 )
        {
            ##-- Write NEW data to tmp file
            fputs($tmp,$info[$i]." = ".$rslt[$i]."\n");
            $i++;
        }
        ##-- No Match
        else
        {
            fputs($tmp,$aline."\n");
        }//Checking for match
    }//while eof(old)
   

what in the world is making this such a big deal. i dont remember having this issue in the past
I tried opening with w+, and just w on the temp file

a typical text line would be

some fieldname = some value

the scipt cycles through the file ignoring comments that are "#"


ps
the tmp file will overwrite the origianl once complete

all i really want to know is WHY i cant get the newline to work, and what is the suggested fix

EDIT:
i just tried PHP_EOL and it still appends another newline

I got two values from a form in a page by POST method. Now I want to add this values to a text file. The code of form1.htm is like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="write1.php" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Log In...</legend>
<input type="text" name="uname" /><br>
<input type="text" name="pass" /><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="button" value="Log In" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>

And the code of write1.php is like this:
<?php

function arr_func()
{
$name = $_POST['uname'];
    $pass = $_POST['pass'];
//trying to catch values in an array
    $arr[] = array("name"=>"$name", "pass"=>"$pass");
foreach ($arr as $val_arr)
{
foreach ($val_arr as $key=>$val)
{
echo "$key - $val<br>";
}
echo '<br>';
}
}

$arr1 = arr_func();
//values are printed, no problem
echo $arr1;
//trying to change the array into string, is it wrong approach?
$var1 = strval($arr1);

// set file to write
$file = 'student/dump.txt'; 
// open file 
$fh = fopen($file, 'w') or die('Could not open file!'); 
// write that variable into file 
fwrite($fh, "$var1\n") or die('Could not write to file'); 
// close file 
fclose($fh); 


?>

After log in in form1 I get two values of $name and $pass in write1.php but no values being added to the file mentioned in the path.
