PHP - Php File Search, Get Content

Currently I am using a script that displays the entire directory.  However I am trying to use preg_match to try and figure out how to just link to one file from the directory via a search string from a form.   I am probably not even close so please bare with me

<?php

if (isset($_POST['filelook'])) {
$filez = $_POST['filelook'];
}
   /*
   edit $path to the directory you want to use
   edit $file_types to change the file types to show
   */
   function file_type($file)
   {
       $searchString = $filez;	
       $path_chunks = explode("/", $file);
       $thefile = $path_chunks[count($path_chunks) - 1];
       $dotpos = strrpos($thefile, ".");
       return strtolower(substr($thefile, $dotpos + 1));
   }
   $file_count = 0;
   $path = "./WinFiles/files";
   $file_types = array('png', 'jpg');
   $p = opendir($path);
       while (false !== ($filelook = readdir($p))) 
	   {
           $files[] = $filelook;
       }
   sort($files);
   echo "<b> Your file results:</b><br> ";
      
		   
           if (file_exists($filez) && is_readable($filez) && preg_match($filez)) {
		   
		echo '<a href="download.php?f='.$filez.'">'.$filez.'</a> <br/>';
			  
			   
			   //find filename like name searched for...

         
   if($file_count == 0)
   {
       echo "<b>No file match your file types</b>";
   }

     
    	   
           
			  
			   
			   
		   
		   }
 
?>

I am trying to create a program to get input from user in textarea and save that input into a text file. But this code is only creating an empty file.

<?php
echo <<<_END
<form action="form.php" method="post">
<textarea name="textdata" cols="50" rows="20"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="CLICK ME">
<input type="hidden" name="submit_check" value="1">

</form>
_END;
function write(){
$fname="test.txt";
$fh=fopen($fname,'w');
$data=$_POST['textdata'];
fwrite($fname,$data);
fclose($fh);
}


if(isset($_POST['submit_check'])){
write();
}
?>

 please help me. sorry for bad english

Hi,

I am trying to fetch a file with function file_get_contents() from a website, but am getting following error.

[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden in /data/22/1/27/17/1842180/user/1999295/htdocs/web/modules/index.php on line 14.

using following code,

Code: [Select]
$content = file_get_contents($source);

$handle = fopen($destination, 'wb');
fwrite($handle, $content);
fclose($handle);
does it have something to with http header, which might be required to set as HTTP/1.1 in php

Regards,
Abhishek

Hi! I'm a total stupid newbie. Please humor me.
So, I'm trying to make a guestbook, just as practice. So far I have a form that writes entries to a file, each entry on a new line. Entries look like this:

Code: [Select]
11:11 am, Oct 12th, 2010|name|website|message
My dividing character between parts of the entries is the vertical bar. I don't know if that's a bad idea. As I said, I'm a newb. I should probably find out how to make a code that makes it so people can't use that character in the form.
Anyway, this is my code so far trying to display the entries. So far, I just want to show the date of the first entry.

$file = fopen("posts.txt", 'rb');

while(!feof($file) && fgetc($file) != "|"){
$date = $date.fgetc($file);
}

echo $date;

fclose($file);

I already have a problem. The code does stop at the vertical bar, but instead of showing the date as "11:11 am, Oct 12th, 2010" it shows "11 m c 2h 00". I'm just super confused, and I don't know what to do.
Thanks. (:

Hello,
In m script, I need to get the content of another php file as a string, including the content of all the files which are included in it and in lower levels.
Any idea how to do it?
I tried output buffer+include but it doesn't get the content of the included files.

Thanks

im working on my website and im trying to insert text from a file into the webpage.

the webpage is
index.php

the .txt file is
indexbody.txt

at the point of where the code is i would like to insert the contents of the text file into the html document so the person viewing the site can read it as if it was directly in that webpage.
i hope you understand what im asking

the current not working code is:
<?php $myFile = "indexbody.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 5);
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;?>

Hello all brilliant minds,

Then I have SQL DB that have column with "rtrv-ls" and "rtrv-sid"

Requirement :

A) Use Php to open the .txt file, I used HTML form so the user can upload the file on the browser then
B) Search for the column name as pattern
C)Send query to MYSQL to update DB with Data for each column
D) Query the Mysql for several possible outputs (I've done this part using HTML form and simple php code as below.

<?php

// If we got a GET request on the page from HTML part of the code, we will want to store the data in a variable e.g $my_country
// So country will be passed via GET and will be stored in $my_country variable.

$host="localhost";
$con_usr="aomar";
$con_pass="nokia";

if ($_POST)   {
            $user_input = $_POST['my_log'] ;

// We use the request to search in Database and return the result, First step we need to connect to the database //

                $connect = mysql_connect ($host,$con_usr,$con_pass);
   
// Then we need to select database to run the query and return the result the connection stored in the $connect ressource //
   
if ($connect) {
              mysql_select_db("eagle",$connect);

// We store the query in variable $query becuase is it quite long text; we actually attach our varaiable $my_log passed from HTML //
         
              $query = "SELECT `".$user_input."` FROM `ss7`";

         //$update="INSERT INTO ss7 ('".$user_input."') VLAUES (';


// SO if user selected Egypt it will be stored in (name=my_country) variable from HTML and will be send via GET
// Then we store the query results in a variable called $result      
       
          $result = mysql_query ($query) ;
   

 $arr= mysql_fetch_array($result);
 
       
         echo nl2br ($arr["$user_input"]);
 
 
//Finally we return what we want from the array.
// Print the output as we wish. in case of row data like STP output, use the nl2br to preserve the output as it was written to MYSQL DB
// We need to check if the Query return no value (!$arr) , and print corresponding action

     
 
 
   
}
//================SECONED PART WHEN I LOAD THE LOG FILE TO BE STORED IN MYSQL================//


   
//close the db
mysql_close ($connect);
}

*** Sorry for the many comments but I want to be sure I remember why I do that .

You help is much appreciated
(Please note that need to understand more than I need the Code itself)

How to do it? I have read some methods but they seem to not work. This is what  I have got so far:     <?php

I'm trying to create a INSERT query statement that makes use of the content of 'include' files. When I call up the include it simply echos it to the screen but I can't seem to capture the text string and actually make it function as part of the query. I've tried setting the include as a variable but again it only outputs to the screen. Help please! Here's a portion of the code...

if (($_POST['sched_templates']) == "sched_TestingOnly.htm") {
   $query = include 'sched_TestingOnlyQuery1.htm';   
   }
      if (@mysql_query ($query)) {
         mysql_close(); // End adding Registration to the database
         header ('Location: redirectfile.htm');
         exit();
      } else {
      print "<p><b>Sorry, your entry could not be entered.
      }

Hey guys I m developing a download system for my server that reads files from a third party server and enables MY USER to download it via my URL. What mechanisms should i use to manage this efficiently ???


file_get_contents();
fopen();


Or should I use some kind of buffer mechanism ??? Please do provide a code sample as I'm stuck here very badly.

Note: The file sizes may be >500MB

Hi   I try to echo out random lines of a html file and want after submit password to whole content of the same html file. I have two Problems. 1st Problem When I echo out the random lines of the html file I don't get just the text but the code of the html file as well. I don't want that. I just want the text. How to do that?

for($x = 1;$x<=40;$x++) {
		$lines = file("$filename.html");
        echo $lines[rand(0, count($lines)-1)]."<br>";
        }

I tried instead of "file("$filename.html");" "readfile("$filename.html");" But then I get the random lines plus the whole content. Is there anything else I can use instead of file so that I get the random lines of text  without the html code?P.S file_get_contents doesn't work either have tried that one.     2nd Problem:   As you could see in my first problem I have a file called $filename.html. After I submit the value of a password I want the whole content. But it is like the program did forget what $filename.html is. How can I make the program remember what $filename.html is? Or with other words how to get the whole content of the html file?   My code:

if($_POST['submitPasswordIT']){
if ($_POST['passIT']== $password ){
$my_file = file_get_contents("$filename.html");
echo $my_file;
}
else{
echo "You entered wrong password";
}
}

If the password isn't correct I get: You entered wrong password. If the password is correct I get nothing. I probably need to create a path to the file "$filename.html", but I don't know exactly how to do that.   

 The result pages is supposed to have  pagination like google  help me please

 

Stumped!  I have a client who has a form where they upload files to their server: title, two password fields, and the file They have been unable to upload anything over 10m   Small (under 10mb) files work. Larger doesn’t I’ve tracked it down, I think, that the processing page appears to be dropping the form values when the file takes a bit to upload.   I echo’ed the values that are grabbed from the form, and they return empty strings if it takes a while for the file to upload (a large file) - they pass fine if the file is smaller.   I think I've got the php info set correctly, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust the timing out issue, or even where to troubleshoot.   Here's my phpinfo:   Max Requests Per Child: 750 - Keep Alive: off - Max Per Connection: 100 Timeouts Connection: 120 - Keep-Alive: 5     Directive Local Value Master Value allow_call_time_pass_reference Off Off allow_url_fopen On On allow_url_include Off Off always_populate_raw_post_data Off Off arg_separator.input & & arg_separator.output & & asp_tags Off Off auto_append_file no value no value auto_globals_jit On On auto_prepend_file no value no value browscap /etc/browscap.ini /etc/browscap.ini default_charset no value no value default_mimetype text/html text/html define_syslog_variables Off Off disable_classes no value no value disable_functions leak,posix_getpwuid,posix_getpwnam,posix_getgrid,posix_getgrnam,posix_getgroups leak,posix_getpwuid,posix_getpwnam,posix_getgrid,posix_getgrnam,posix_getgroups display_errors Off Off display_startup_errors Off Off doc_root no value no value docref_ext no value no value docref_root no value no value enable_dl Off Off error_append_string no value no value error_log /mnt/Target01/337846/945285/www.dermerrealestate.com/logs/php_errors.log no value error_prepend_string no value no value error_reporting 30711 30711 exit_on_timeout Off Off expose_php Off Off extension_dir /usr/lib64/php/modules /usr/lib64/php/modules file_uploads On On highlight.bg #FFFFFF #FFFFFF highlight.comment #FF8000 #FF8000 highlight.default #0000BB #0000BB highlight.html #000000 #000000 highlight.keyword #007700 #007700 highlight.string #DD0000 #DD0000 html_errors On On ignore_repeated_errors Off Off ignore_repeated_source Off Off ignore_user_abort Off Off implicit_flush Off Off include_path .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php log_errors On On log_errors_max_len 1024 1024 magic_quotes_gpc On On magic_quotes_runtime Off Off magic_quotes_sybase Off Off mail.add_x_header On On mail.force_extra_parameters no value no value mail.log no value no value max_execution_time 30 30 max_file_uploads 20 20 max_input_nesting_level 64 64 max_input_time 60 60 max_input_vars 1000 1000 memory_limit 128M 128M open_basedir no value no value output_buffering no value no value output_handler no value no value post_max_size 8M 8M precision 14 14 realpath_cache_size 4M 4M realpath_cache_ttl 120 120 register_argc_argv On On register_globals Off Off register_long_arrays On On report_memleaks On On report_zend_debug On On request_order no value no value safe_mode Off Off safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value safe_mode_gid Off Off safe_mode_include_dir no value no value sendmail_from no value no value sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i serialize_precision 100 100 short_open_tag On On SMTP localhost localhost smtp_port 25 25 sql.safe_mode Off Off track_errors Off Off unserialize_callback_func no value no value upload_max_filesize 8M 8M upload_tmp_dir /tmp /tmp user_dir no value no value user_ini.cache_ttl 300 300 user_ini.filename .user.ini .user.ini variables_order EGPCS EGPCS xmlrpc_error_number 0 0 xmlrpc_errors Off Off y2k_compliance On On zend.enable_gc On On  

Hi,

How do I open all HTML file contained in a folder, then search for the title of the page, and save the title in the database?
Also, is it possible to do this using functions?

Cheers.

I require a page to be added to my website. This page will facilitate a refined search via Google, Bing and Yahoo search engine simultaneously , show the top 5 of each engine.

Is this possible using php ?

Thank's
