PHP - Trying To Copy Wiki Code

Since I didn't want to type it out myself I wrote a small Date of Birth drop down menu generator.

Now I'm wondering how I can make the code copy-able in a text area?

The script should be inserting all the code ready and finished into a textarea so you can copy and go.

How is it done?


Here's the script:


<?php
echo "<center>";
?>
<form action='' method='POST'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' />
</form>
<?php
$submit = $_POST['submit'];


if ($submit) {

echo "<form action='' method='POST'>";
echo "<select name='month'>";

for ($m = 01; $m <= 12; $m++) {

echo " <option value='" . $m . "'>" . $m . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "<select name='day'>";

for ($d = 01; $d <= 31; $d++) {

echo " <option value='" . $d . "'>" . $d . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "<select name='year'>";

for ($y = 1900; $y <= 2010; $y++) {

echo " <option value='" . $y . "'>" . $y . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</center>";
}

?>

I'm trying to make a League of Legends (a video game) community website, both as a personal project and for practice.
Now the game has a lot of champions, each of whom have 5 unique abilities. Now, I thought about manually inputting all the details about each champion into a MySQL database, but that would long and tedious, and I don't really have the time for it now. Also, the game patches very oftern (like, once every 2 weeks) which changes many of the stats, etc. of the champion, and it is not possible for me to keep manually updating these every time there is a patch.

Fortunately, there is a League of Legends Wiki which has all the data I need in their specific champion pages, which they keep updated per patch. So I was wondering if there was any way to get the data from the divs in the wiki, and have it display on my site. What I want to do in my website is that whenever someone types a champion's name (in a post or whatever), I want it to display a hover-over dialog with some of the champions details. And a lot of other features such as that.

In plain English I need a way to :
> Tell PHP to go to the wiki's source code on a specific page
> Find a specific div container
> Get X data from there
> Pass X data into a function to display the hover-over

I think this way, I would not have to maintain a database as I can leech off the wiki's data.
I have not coded anything like this before, so I would like a few pointers as to how to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated!

Hello everyone, so I made this script that creates directories via "a hack around" cPanel, on my own server, in order to create directories via my own software, but I also need to copy files from one directory into that newly created directory... Therein lies the problem...

I created a script a few years ago that worked, but for the life of me I can't remember how I enabled myself to be able to use the copy function of php...

Anybody know?

So my hosting server does not allow fopen anymore, so I was wondering if anyone had an alternative to copying a file from a remote server via a URL to a local folder?

Any alternatives is apprecited.

Hello freaks,

I am currently creating a member system that will place a default handle image into a newly registered members file.
I have used the mkdir function create the directory successfully based on the members ID, but I can't get the copy function to work.

Code:
Code: [Select]
mkdir("memberFiles/$memberID", 0755);
$old = 'images/defaultlogo.jpg';
$new = 'memberFiles/$memberID/logo.jpg';
copy($old, $new);

Error Message:
Warning: copy(memberFiles/$memberID/logo.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Lastly, this folder is created to store members files.

hey people
i cant get copy() to work.
im working on an online server and trying to copy a file into directories i just created.
i read about fopen() having to be enabled if both source and destination files are urls, and fopen is enabled and both files are urls (and on the same server).
the directories get created but the file doesnt get copied. the directories have permission 777.
could it be that when i call the copy function the directories aren't yet available on the server? i am copying the file in the same code block as 'create folders', right after.
any pointers?

hey, can some one provide a code to help me copy a folder called contents with files in it to another folder called items

cheers

I have a DB with 10 fields

Records are entered under a date

There can be 1 to 30 records for a given date

I need to copy all records of a given date with the 10 fields of each...

Into the same DB only changing the original date to a new date

Sounds easy, but so far I haven't been able to make it work.

Any nudge in the right directiion would be much appreciated.

Hello, im new to php and I would appreciate help with this one....

Error code is
Warning: copy() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /path/to/file/http.class.php on line 143

Error block

Code: [Select]
if (count($_FILES) > 0) {
foreach ($_FILES as $name => $file) {
if ($file['tmp_name']) {
$newfile=dirname(__FILE__).'/../cache/'.$file['name'];
$newfiles[]=$newfile;
copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile);
if ($file['tmp_name']) $this->post[$name]='@'.$newfile;
}
}
}
Line 143

Code: [Select]
copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile);

hi i made my very first array, and its working great

now i want to have another array wich does the same thing, but on another category,
it shows gold silver and bronze logos, but now i want to give leaders of other categorys also those logos, but different ones

so i thought
i change from

$array[$snipergameid][$x] = $sniperleaders[playerid]; (part of the code in a while loop)

into

$array2[$snipergameid][$x] = $sniperleaders[playerid]; (part of the code in a while loop)

and i do the same for the result checker loops
but that doesnt work

so how do i copy an entire arrray, and give it another name
to match it with the correct while loop checker?

hello PHP geniuses! I am new to this whole thing... so please be patient with me
I have a form that is working great.... there are just a couple of things that I would like it to do that I can't figure out. PHP is still a mystery to me, but I am trying to learn. If I include the code, I am hoping someone can help.
I would like to know if I can
1. cc the sender the form details
2. pull form data to create the subject line

This is a HiQform, with attachments...

EDIT: pinche code tags.

I am trying from several hours to sort and issue but i donno what the problem..
this is the following code i am using

mkdir("news_upload/$year/$month/$day",0777);
touch("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php");
chmod("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php",0777);
$template = "news_template.php";
$new = "news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php";
copy($template,$new);

I have created the directories and given the permission the made a new empty file..
i added permissions to the new made file.. but it didnt apply as i check it.. (PROBLEM)
then i have a template designed with the name news_template.php
wanted to copy this template to the new created file..
the file gets created.. but the new file is not copying the template file on itself..

have i done anything rong??? help please?

Hi

I have a script

Code: [Select]
mkdir("myitems/images", 0777);

chmod("myitems/images", 0777);

if (!copy('downloads.zip', 'myitems/images/downloads.zip')) {
    echo "failed";
}
when I run it, the folder is created and when checking folder permissions, it shows 777

but it fails on copying the file.

if I manually create the folder "myitems/images/" and set it to 777, then when I run the script, the file is copied

for some reason when I manually create the folder it works, but when PHP creates the folder, it fails on something

any ideas? racking my brain trying to figure out why

i am trying io copy my template to the newly created file using copy function but the copy function does not work on the server it worked fine in localhost.. i tried using fil_get_contents and file_put_function but that didnt work as well mayb cuz of the restrictions of the server.. and i do not have the permission to edit the php.ini file.. i am talking to talk with the hosting company.. but just wanted to knw is der any oder wat to copy my template to a new file that is created?
