PHP - Writing Text File - Won't Then Download
Writing a text file in php. File is created apparently okay and appears in the directory. But cannot then download it (but can open it in Dreamweaver if just using local test server). Does some kind of EOF character need to be written to the file (I'm just guessing). Simple example:
<div id="mainContent"> <?php $list="abcdef"; $cellfile=fopen("celltext.txt",'w') or die("Failed to create file"); fwrite($cellfile, $list) or die ("Could not write to file"); fclose($cellfile); ?> <p><a href="cellfile.txt">Download</a> cell text file</p> </div> Clicking the link yields 404 File not found (even though it's there). Similar TutorialsIt's been a while since I've dealt with text files and currently I am unable to write the contents of a variable to a text file, only the literal is being written. Should I be de-referencing or is this even possible? Also the problem is compounded by the fact that i also want to write the contents of a class display function into the text file. Hi Im trying to write info to a text file and it works perfectly with the following script, but it writes duplicate info, how can I change it so that no duplicate records are being added to my file and just ignore inserting it without giving a message?
<?php
$myfile = fopen("users.csv", "a+") or die("Unable to open file!");
$mxituid = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_USERID_R"];
$txt = "$mxituid\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
?>
Hi Everyone, I'm new to PHP freaks, and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. I have written some code for a html page and used php to retrieve confirm whether or not data is in a text file. I also tried to write some code to insert the data supplied to my html page to the text file but it's not working. Can someone help me figure out what my issue is. I have attached my text file, and my php code as well. Below you'll find the code I used for my html page.

I have one programming problem. I have this log, from witch i have to read specific area of text: webtopay.log OK 123.456.7.89 [2012-03-15 09:09:59 -0400] v1.5: MIKRO to:"1398", from:"865458961", id:"13525948", sms:"MCLADM thing" So i need the script to extract word "thing" from that log. Also that script has to check if there is new entries in the log, and extract text from the last one. (Explaining in other words, that script should extract word AFTER MCLADM. Every time its a different word) p.s. I need that script to be integrated here (this has to send command to server "/manuadd (text from log)" : Code: [Select] <?php try{ $HOST = "178.16.35.196"; //the ip of the bukkit server $password = "MCLietuva"; //Can't touch this: $sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("error: could not create socket\n"); $succ = socket_connect($sock, $HOST, 4445) or die("error: could not connect to host\n"); //Authentification socket_write($sock, $command = md5($password)."<Password>", strlen($command) + 1) or die("error: failed to write to socket\n"); //Begin custom code here. socket_write($sock, $command = "/Command/ExecuteConsoleCommandAndReturn-SimpleBroadCast:broadcast lol;", strlen($command) + 1) //Writing text/command we want to send to the server or die("error: failed to write to socket\n"); sleep(2); // This is example code and here has to be that script i want to make. //while(($returnedString = socket_read($sock,50000))!= ""){ $returnedString = socket_read($sock,50000,PHP_NORMAL_READ); print($returnedString) //} print("End of script"); socket_close($sock); }catch(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } ?> I hope i made things clear and you will help me Thanks How to do it? I have read some methods but they seem to not work. This is what I have got so far:
<?php I have a PHP script that does some work copying some files and parsing through the files. Then it creates an Excel file and sends it to the browser to download. So you user will see the standard popup asking to save or open the file. Well, I am using ob_flush to try and output text to the browser while it is working so the user knows something is happening. But whenever I add the ob_flush lines in, it just sends a bunch of garbage text to the browser instead of downloading the file. Anyone know a way around this? Thanks Mike I need to add these lines to my .htaccess file via PHP Code: [Select] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} checkout RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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. Hello I already know this is possible with php <?php $file = 'monkey.gif'; if (file_exists($file)) { header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file)); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Pragma: public'); header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file)); ob_clean(); flush(); readfile($file); exit; } ?> But I am wondering is it possible to just send over a string of data stored in like $data and create a file clientside (nothing server side). So i'm guessing readfile() has to be replaced with something Dear 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. 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.

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 .

What should i do... ANy helo would be appreciated Pranshu Agrawal pranshu.a.11@gmail.com 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'm trying to write to a file with the following code. $fh = fopen("../inc/config.php", "a") or die("\r\nCan't open file."); $write = "\$config['database_host'] = {$mysqlh}; \$config['database_user'] = {$mysqlu}; \$config['datbase_pass'] = {$mysqlp}; \$config['datbase_name'] = {$dbn}; \$config['table_prefix'] = {$tp};"; fwrite($fh, $write); fclose($fh); It is printing out "Can't open file", which I guess means it can't find the file or I've given the wrong path. The file that is executing this code is /install and the file I'm trying to write to is /inc/config.php. I thought .. put you up a directory so if I do .. I will be at the root and then do /inc I will be in inc. Can someone please guide me on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. 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 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! Please help Code: [Select] <?php $start = '$uploadpath=\''; $structure = '../banner/images/'.$_POST['FOLDER'].'\';\n'; $myFile = "PHP/confup.php"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = "<?\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "$start $structure"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "?>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); // Desired folder structure // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter // to mkdir() must be specified. if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) { die('Failed to create folders...'); } // ... ?> for($i=0; $i!=count($account_data); $i++){ echo "\n::: ".strtoupper($account_data[$i][0])." :::\n"; if($account_data[$i][1] != "" && stristr($account_data[$i][0], "@") && stristr($account_data[$i][0], ".")){ list($place[0],$place[1],$place[2],$place[3]) = authorize($account_data[$i], $game_link); if($place[2] > 1 && strlen($place[3]) == 40){ $filename = 'auth-keys.txt'; $fp = file($filename,'a+'); $data = $place[2]." ".$place[3]."\r\n"; file_put_contents($filename, $data, FILE_APPEND); echo $data; } else echo "Account Skipped: wrong password/email combo, or a login error...\n"; $echo = file_put_contents($filename, FILE_APPEND); } else echo "Account Skipped: invalid email or blank password...\n"; } echo "\n::: PROGRAM FINISHED, YOU CAN CLOSE THIS AT ANY TIME :::"; sleep(10000); You see where I tried to put $echo file_put_contents etc... On success the acct writes a security id and a security auth key to a file, ever acct puts the tokens on a new line every acct... now when an acct echos account skipped, how can I make it print the echo on the file new line instead of nothing being writen and it just skipping the account Ok I need to write an array to a file here is the code if($place[2] < 10){ echo "Account Invalid"; $account = var_dump($account_data[$i][0]); echo $account; $fp3=fopen('invalid.txt', 'a+'); fwrite($fp3, $account); fclose($fp3);} when I try if($place[2] < 10){ echo "Account Invalid"; $account = var_dump($account_data[$i][0]); echo $account; $fp3=fopen('invalid.txt', 'a+'); fwrite($fp3, $account_data[$i][0]); fclose($fp3);} I just get "Array[1]" written to the file.. What can I do to write the array to the file? Thanks Hi, I am a newbie to php and am trying to copy mysql data to a text file. The format I need to create is I just wrote a php page that pulls live data from a database and presents it in an XML layout. In Internet Explorer, I can Edit, Select All, then Copy-Paste and save as XML. The resulting XML works fine. In Firefox, I can click File, Save Page As, select Text Files, then name it as an XML. Again, it works fine as XML. So..... how do I skip the Copy/Paste (IE) or Save Page As (Firefox) steps and write the output directly to an XML file? I've played with stdout(), buffers, page capturing utilities (wget, cURL, httrack, etc....), but no luck so far. This creates a pretty intense page due to the amount of data involved (1.3+ MB). Any help is appreciated! |
