PHP - Writing To A Remote Txt File
Hello
I am in need of writting to a txt file on a remote server. When trying I get this error: "failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home....." How can I write to a siply txt file on a remote server? Similar TutorialsDear PHPFreak members, I have been searching a solution for serving a file download via my website. The file to be downloaded is actually on a remote server. What i need is a code that serves as a download medium without actually downloading the file to my web server. Something like masking file url Can anyone help me with it ??? Have been trying this since days. But no solution till date. 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 need to check a file's size with php and ssh. Everything I've seen online for remote files uses curl and port 80. I'll be checking a LAN computer that isn't running a webserver, but is running an SSH server. How can I do this? I've tried this: Code: [Select] <?php $tomorrow = date ('n-j-y'); echo system(ssh root@192.168.2.169 ls -lah "/MacRadio X/WMIS Logs/WMIS $tomorrow Log" | awk {print $5}); ?> but it didn't work. I got a T_VARIAABLE error. This was the same command I used right from the command line, and it worked. I'll also need to add a check to the file size, and if it's less than 175K, send me an email...but I'll work on that after I have the first part working. Thanks! Hello everyone. I have a script which opens a remote file, downloads it into a buffer and then sends it out to the user. At the moment, I'm using fopen() to retrieve the remote file. Everything works correctly, except when the user requests a range of the file. To do this, I tried fseek() but the problem is that fseek() does not work with remote files and gives me an error. Is there any other way I can go about doing this? Thanks. Hello everyone. I have a problem with some of my php script. I have some php code that downloads a remote file and directly outputs it to the user. It works and all, it's just that when I do it on my Ubuntu LAMP server, downloading a file takes up a lot of ram. On my Windows WAMP server it works correctly and doesn't use up so much ram. Is this a problem with my code, or is it a server configuration? Below is the code I use to download the file. Code: [Select] public function output_file($file, $name, $mime_type='', $size) { session_write_close(); /* This function takes a path to a file to output ($file), the filename that the browser will see ($name) and the MIME type of the file ($mime_type, optional).

I recently shifted to a CDN solution. The problem now is that I cannot force user to download the file. The files just open in the browser window. When the user clicks on download, I just use header ("location: http://cndserver/file.mov"); What can I do to force download a file stored on a remote server? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hello, this script originally works by reading a physical copy of 'bans.txt' located in the same directory.

What's the proper way to check if a file exists on a remote server? I know file_exists() works for you local files. I think i need to use something like the following. BUT if the file is not found PHP throws a warning. I know i can put a '@' before fopen() but that just masks the error. Code: [Select] <?php if(fopen("http://www.othersite.com/imageXYZ.jpg", "r")) { echo "File exists."; } else { echo "File does not exist."; } ?> Would this work to prevent remote file inclusion vulnerability? $file = "../include/links.php"; if ($file = '../include/links.php'){ include $file; } This one stumped me, but maybe someone has figured it out. I'm trying to write a script that is able to decide whether a remote url is a directory or a file, this is fine until it comes to mod_rewrite(rewritten?) urls. ex. http://www.example.com/test Now this could be test.php,test.html etc., but in the rare case, it could also be a folder (example.com/test/index.php). Anyone have any ideas? hey friends i badly need one help i want to read some remote file say http://xyz.com/my.file when i download using wget in shell its reading with more than 4mbps but when i use fread/file_get_contents/curl function in php script its read with too slow speed please help me please Following on from a discussion in the IRC #help chat I wanted to open a discussion on the best method to upload an file to a remote server through a web service. It is a little more complex than that simple explanation so let me go into more detail. You have the client accessing a website which is hosted on ServerA, through their computer which is the files origin. The web service is housed on ServerB and the remote upload target server is ServerC. I'm looking to upload the file through the web service on ServerB. The purpose of this is to prevent ServerA from knowing the target location for the upload, ServerC. ServerA must be able to take the file from the computer, pass it to the web service on ServerB which streams it through to ServerC. The file shoul not be saved on any one of the hops through to ServerC, it should be streamed straight through. Computer (file) ---> ServerA (Apache) ---> ServerB (Web Service) ---> ServerC (File target location) If youn think this is possible, what is your best suggested method of uploading the file. Currently, I'm looking at using cURL and the SoapClient to access the web service and upload the file. I'm yet to research if this is possible and would like to know if anyone else has a better method/suggestion? Regarding my job, I just need to connect ServerA with ServerB and stream the file somehow for the clients computer... Ok, I know how to write to a file, but what I'm looking for is to check if a line of code exists, and if it is, don't recreate it. It would also be nice to not recreate the file either. Code: [Select] $file = fopen("index.html", "w"); fwrite($file,"This is a line of text"); fclose($file); 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> </td> <td> </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 Pranshu Agrawal pranshu.a.11@gmail.com I need help! I cant get this to write the correct way! What i need is based on the value of what is posted to the script it has to write it in the config file and also make a folder!

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.

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 |
