PHP - Moved: Writing And Reading An Array To A File

I am trying to print out rows of images and pieces them to form a bigger map  but having a little trouble printing out correctly.

I am doing the following...

A numbered text file with rows of numbers like these:

33.txt
Code: [Select]
48,48,49,49,48,47,48,49,48,50,50,48,50,49,48,49,49,49
49,11,4,8,50,11,4,4,8,48,11,4,4,8,48,11,8,50
...
The number represent different area and the number in the text file represent each individual pieces of that particular area. the number of rows and columns are arbitrary.



Example:

Here is my code at the moment but there is something wrong in it as I can't seems to correctly print everything out...
Code: [Select]
<?php 
$file = file_get_contents("33.txt"); // can be any numbered text files
$entries = explode("\n", $file);
echo "Entries <br /><hr />";

for($i=0;$i < sizeof($entries);$i++){
for($j=0;$j < sizeof($entries);$j++){
$data = explode(",", $entries[$j]);
   echo "<td align=\"center\" background=\"test/33_";
   echo $data[$j];
echo ".gif\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\">
             <table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\">
             <tbody><tr>
                 <td>
                 <center></center>
                     </td>
                 </tr></tbody>
             </table>
             </td>";
}
}
?>

Hey,

I'm trying to work out how I can have a simple script that will work like this:

Page 1 - Heading, Paragraph, Image read from database.
Page 2 - Has text boxes allowing you to change heading, paragraph and image (url) with each edit using a different text box. (Admin panel)

The database connection would be in a separate file.

So far I've got the database connection sorted.

Code: [Select]
<?php
//Database Information
$dbtype = "mysql"; 
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "";
$db_pass = "";
$db_name = "";
$db_port = "";
$db_table_prefix = "userCake_";
?>
At the top of each of the other pages this is what I've got.
Code: [Select]
<?php 
require_once("models/config.php");
?>
Let's say I give each bit stored in the database a page ID and an object ID.

If the page selected is index.php how can we give it a page ID of 1 and give then include all the separate 'objects' throughout the page?

Hopefully this makes sense?

Cheers,
Jack

Is this possible? Could the following code be replaced with one .txt consisting of two digits?

Code: [Select]
$myFile = "offerrotation.txt";
$myFile2 = "lprotation.txt";

$fh = @fopen($myFile, 'r');
$offerNumber = @fread($fh, 5);
@fclose($fh);

$fh = @fopen($myFile2, 'r');
$lpNumber = @fread($fh, 5);
@fclose($fh);

Many thanks

I'm trying to process MS words doc in PHP. I found some samples which use COM applications for this but not working properly (I get only exceptions and no result)
and I taught it's the version of word on my localhost or my OS so I tried them on with different windows OS and MS word. but same result, since it would be harder to make it work on remote server (the remote server needs to have MS word installed on) so I'm looking for different approach, what you think?? is there nay good one rather than COM applications? have you ever tried? is it possible to write code with other like ASP or java and combine it with PHP? every little piece of advice would be appropriated, thanks

Hi   I come from a desktop (vb.net) background and have used oridinary text files for my databases. I use file locking to prevent other processes from writing to the same file simultaneously.   Now I am moving over the PHP/MySQL - what precautions should I take to stop a simultaneous processes from writing to a table at the same time.?   Do I need to lock the table before writing to it?   Does MySQL deal with this automatically and just block my process until the table becomes free?   (I am talking about a single table here, not multiple dependant tables - I know that is another issue)   Thanks     Nigel

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

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]

I need to add these lines to my .htaccess file via PHP

Code: [Select]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} checkout
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://myurl.com/checkout/$1 [R,L]
RIGHT after this line:
Code: [Select]
RewriteBase /
AND before this line:
Code: [Select]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
This is how the current file looks w/o the new line addition:

Code: [Select]
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [L,QSA]
It needs to look like this when the new lines are added(extra line breaks not necessary):

Code: [Select]
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} checkout
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://myurl.com/checkout/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [L,QSA]
The line numbers may not match up, so I cannot use the line number.

I am trying to use this weeklyReport1Boles.html:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>Weekly Report</title>
<link rel ="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sample.css" />
</head>

<body>
<h1>Weekly Report</h1>
<p>
<form action = "weeklyReport1Boles.php" method = "post" >
<p>
<input type = "submit" value = "Display the Report" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

TO PULL data from weeklyDataBoles.txt lines 1-8
1    236.00
2    284.00
3    148.00
4    128.00
5       0.00
6    110.00

THE RESULTING WEB PAGE SHOULD BE:

TOTAL INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00

AVG DAILY INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00

NUMBER OF DAYS with NO INCOME: .

MY PHP CODE IS:


<?php
$total = $_POST['total'];

Hi there

I am working on PHP form which has an array named: $productOptions.

When I do:

print_r($productOptions);

it returns:
Array ( [124] => Array ( [optionId] => 124 [optionName] => acer aspire [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-04 12:48:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 84 [productId] => 40 [quantity] =>7 )
 [114] => Array ( [optionId] => 114 [optionName] => acer fast [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-01 02:04:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 83 [productId] => 40 [quantity] => 0 ) 

Now from this Array, I would like to check if the quantity if greater than Zero. so I tried:

if (productOptions[quantity] > 0){
echo "blah blah..."
}

But for getting the quantity, the part:

productOptions[quantity]

returns nothing. Am I doing this correctly?

Please reply.

Thank you

I've never been very good with arrays, and am totally new to them in PHP...   

If I have this array...
Code: [Select]
$concertDates = array('201105071'=>'May 7, 2011 (9:00am - 12:00pm)',
'201105072'=>'May 7, 2011 (1:00pm - 4:00pm)',
'201105141'=>'May 14, 2011 (9:00am - 12:00pm)');

...and I know the key, e.g.

Code: [Select]
$concertDate = '201105072'

Then how do I get the corresponding value, i.e.

Code: [Select]
May 7, 2011 (1:00pm - 4:00pm)'
...from the array??

I am using a script I adapted from a tutorial to print the contents of a text box to a txt file. Basically, it's a really simple way of seeing who has logged in. I only have a handful of users.

The problem is, although the text file is being created in the proper folder, it isn't being written to and just remains blank.

<div align="center">
<table width="300" border="2" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" style="-moz-border-radius: 18px;
-webkit-border-radius: 18px;" height="120" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" background="images/loginbg.jpg"  style="-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;">
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="3"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>Family Login </strong></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="78"><font color="#000000">Username</font></td>
<td width="6">:</td>
<td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername">
<?php
$myusername = $_POST['myusername'];

$data = "$myusername\n";


//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a");

fwrite($fh, $data);

fclose($fh);

?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font color="#000000">Password</font></td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

I'm not sure what's going wrong but I'm guessing it's the placing of the php, or at least some of it.
I'd quite like to add the time they logged in as well. Any idea's anyone? 

I have a code for writing a log file...
The code is working fine but it inserts the new details at the bottom of the file but i want to insert in the top...

So what function should i use... Here is the file my_log.php

Code: [Select]
<?php

$usname = $_SESSION['usname'];
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta');
$date = date("l dS \of F Y h:i:s A");
$file = "log.php"; 
$open = fopen($file, "a+"); 
fseek($open,289);
fwrite($open "<b><br/>USER NAME:</b>              ".$usname . "<br/>"); 
fwrite($open, "<b>Date & Time:</b>            ".$date. "<br/>"); 
fwrite($open, "<b>What have they done :</b>   ".$reason . "<br/><br/>"); 
fclose($open); 

?>

and here is my log.php file :

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['stage']!=1 || $_SESSION['stage2']!=2)
{header('location:index.php');
die(" ");
}
?>
<?php
if($_GET['valu']=="view_log")
{
$reason=" ".$_SESSION['usname']." Viewed the LOG";
include('my_log.php');
header('location:log.php');
die("");
}
// bytes till here are 289

//LINE 1 : Log details have to insert here



I want to insert every detail from the top of the page but just below the php code..
What should i do...

ANy helo would be appreciated

Greetings,   I am new to these forums, I am working on this assignment, and these are the current issues I am running into.   Notice: Undefined variable: year in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 77 ie. $year = validateInput($year,"Birth Year"); Notice: Undefined variable: year_count in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 138 ie. echo "<p>You are person " . $year_count . "to enter " . $year . "</p>\n";   Honestly, I believe they are linked, because what should be happening, as the user enters the year, and hits submit, it should create a file called counts/$year.txt - $year should equal the entered data in the textbox, any help would be appreciated.   Thank you for your help.
