PHP - I Need To Write Values From A Session Form Into A Flat File

I currently have a flat file user registration and login in system. I also have a simple guestbook which i didn't code myself, the guest book currently requires the user to type in there name and e-mail address to make a post. how ever i would like them to have to login and if they aren't logged in then don't display the guestbook.

I want to make the news feed on my website easier to maintain. I just created a form that I will use to add the information. The form saves the files that it creates as "entry-date-time.txt" and places it in a folder for the year and a sub folder for the month. Such as "2011\09".

I have displayed data from a single flat file before, but I am unsure how to go about displaying the data from multiple files. Can anyone show me an example?

I want to be able to paginate the data, displaying a number of updates per page from newest to oldest.

I don't have MySQL access on the server or I'd just use that, instead.

Given this script:

<?php
$file = file('info.txt');
$statelist = array (1=> "California", "Florida", "Illinois", "New York", "Texas");
foreach ($file as $line => $data)
{
list($state, $abbrev, $population) = explode('|', trim($data));
for ($x=1; $x<5; $x++) {
     if ($statelist[$x] == $state) {
echo $state . ", " . $abbrev . " - " . $population . '<br />';
}
}
}
?>

and this flat file (info.txt):

Code: [Select]
California|CA|36,756,666
Texas|TX|24,326,974
New York|NY|19,490,297
Florida|FL|18,328,340
Illinois|IL|12,901,563

This is what is outputted:
Code: [Select]
California, CA - 36,756,666
Texas, TX - 24,326,974
New York, NY - 19,490,297
Florida, FL - 18,328,340
Illinois, IL - 12,901,563
How can I sort the output by the index value of the "statelist array" so get this output:
Code: [Select]
California, CA - 36,756,666
Florida, FL - 18,328,340
Illinois, IL - 12,901,563
New York, NY - 19,490,297
Texas, TX - 24,326,974
Could  ksort($statelist) be implemented?

it is displaying the lastnames in the order they are in the profile but do not know  how to get it to sort by lastname - please help

<?php
$lines = file('database/profile.txt');
foreach($lines as $thisline){list($p_id,$p_status,$p_filestart,$p_filemodified,$p_first,$p_middle,$p_last,$p_nick) = explode('|',$thisline);{
$names []= $p_last.', '.$p_first.' '.$p_middle.'.';
foreach($names as $value);
{echo ''.$value.'<br>';}}}
?>

Folks,

I have a flat file or CSV, which has the tree structure of the Nesed Categories (All are delimited by either > or tab, it can be set easily).

I want a PHP/Mysql code/routine that i can automaticaly create a table in MYsql with Parent Child relationship.

Logic is there in my mind, every distinct Node will be an ID which while every child node will have the PID (parent ID) of its Parent.


So the below data from flat file (Actual Data can be N Level Deep at least 4 Level):


Electronics
Electronics > Phones 
Electronics > Phones > Iphone
Electronics > Phones > LG
Electronics > Phones > Samsung
Electronics > Phones > Samsung > 3G


Electronics > Laptops
Electronics > Laptops > Dell
Electronics > Laptops > Sony
Electronics > Laptops > HP
Electronics > Laptops > HP > Core 2 Duo



Will look like this in Mysql Table Structu

This is the Logic i need ot adopt, but i have no clue on how to code it to extract in this table structure and define this paren tchild mapping automatically.

Can someone Help me out wiht this?

I have a login system that uses a flat file database.  The flat file is in a directory outside the public_html.  My questions;

1- Is is still possible to hack into that file?

Currently I do not encrypt the passwords as I have been told that having the file outside the public_html makes the file unavailable to the public.  This allows me the advantage of sending the Username and Password to the user in an email if they forget there password or username.  Otherwise- I would have to set up a more complicated method to allow them to change their password to re-gain access to the site.  I have an SSL on the site also so I am not worried about packet sniffing.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have an intention to allow user to select multiple district, however even though when they select more than 2 options in the district, it turns out my database is only able to capture the last value.

For instance, I chose ID=1 ID=2, however the return value to my database will be only ID=2.

Is there something which I have missed out? Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you

<?php
$district = $_POST['district'];

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
$dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', '***', '***', '***')
    or die(mysqli_error());

$query2 = "INSERT INTO tutor_preferred_dlocation (district_id) VALUES ('$district')";

$result2 = mysqli_query($dbc, $query2)
or die(mysqli_error());
}


<input name="district" type="checkbox" id="1" value="1">
<label for="yishun">Yishun</label>
    
<input name="district" type="checkbox" id="2" value="2">
<label for="angMoKio">Ang Mo Kio</label>
    
<input name="district" type="checkbox" id="3" value="3">
<label for="yioChuKang">Yio Chu Kang</label>

Hi all,

Just curious why this works:

Code: [Select]
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE){
$import="INSERT into $prodtblname ($csvheaders1) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]','$data[6]')";
}
And this does not:

$headdata_1 = "'$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]','$data[6]'";
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE){
$import="INSERT into $prodtblname ($csvheaders1) values($headdata_1)";
}it puts $data[#'s] in the database fields instead of the actual data that '$data[0]','$data[1]'... relates to.

I wrote a script to create the values in $headdata_1 based on the number of headers in $csvheaders1 but can't seem to get it working in the sql statement.

Thanks

I need some help...I want to read the contents of a file into a variable and then insert/write that content into another file.

Code: [Select]
$handle = fopen($create_mysql_db_url, "rb");
  $contents = fread($handle, filesize($create_mysql_db_url));
  fclose($handle);

  $userFileName = $_POST['mysqluser'] . time() . ".php.txt";
  $fhandle = fopen($userFileName,"wb");
  fwrite($fhandle, $contents);
  fclose($fhandle);

  $fh = fopen($userFileName,"wb");
  $contents = fread($fh, filesize($userFileName));

  $content = preg_replace("/###USERNAME###/", $_POST['mysqluser'], $contents);
  $content = preg_replace("/###PASSWORD###/", $_POST['mysqlpass'], $content);

  fwrite($fh, $content);
  fclose($fh);

I'm working on a small project that requires a user login function. There's only going to be about 10 members in the database. I've followed a tutorial of how to make a login system. I've never really worked with sessions before, but I did some research and get the general concept of them.

What I want to do is store the user's username in a session when they log in, so I can run queries and such later specific to that user. How would I do that? I was able to manually set a session, but I need to set the session equal to what their username is on login. I've tried doing that below, but I don't think it's working. Either that, or I'm not calling the session correctly in the other page where I want to display their username.

Here's the code for the page that checks if the login is correct:

Code: [Select]
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

$encrypted_mypassword=md5($mypassword);

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$encrypted_mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
$_SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername;
$_SESSION['password'] = $encrypted_mypassword;
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
Thanks in advance for any replies

There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content.

The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB

I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization,  it's for children.  I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it.

Code snipets below. Any help, please use portions of this code in hopes I can understand it

Thanks
