PHP - Question About Editing Php Files

Please delete my other post as I realized it is not what I needed and I cannot delete it myself.

Here is exactly what I need.

I have X amount of text files (with random names) in each text file there is Y amount of lines with one word on each line.

I need to open all X amount of files and take the first line from each and save it in a new txt doc. then take the second line of each and save them to a new text doc. and so on.

so I have all the line 1's from all the txt files together
and all the line 2's together etc.


I hope that makes sense.

Hello, I never dealt with such a feature before but I found a small script online that I am editing that works just fine.  The problem is that it includes all of the directories in the path of my site in the zip.  So if the path of my webhost is:

/home/bob/files/

the zip will create a folder such as

/home (inside that folder) /bob (inside that folder) /files (then the zipped files I wanted).

I just want the zip files and I did store them out of the www/public_html directory to prevent people from downloading the files directly from the web but is there no way to make it not include all of those directories in the zip and only show the files?  If so I will post the code that I have.  Thanks

I'm a little confused with the use of absolute paths in PHP.  I've always used relative paths but it's becoming an issue with some of the apps I'm working with and absolute would solve the problem.

The thing is, I'm getting different results in different places and I'm a little confused.

With regular HTML I seem to be able to use / as the root of my site.  So if I do the following...

Code: [Select]
<img src="/images/name.jpg" />
That works fine no matter what page it's called from in the site and no matter what directory that page is in.  I need to be able to do that same thing with PHP.

Now, in my custom 404 page I have the following...

Code: [Select]
if($AddressURL == 'http://www.domain.com/blog/files/filename.zip')
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: /download/filename.zip');
exit();
}

That actually works just fine. If I go to the /blog/files/filename.zip (which doesn't exist) in a web browser it winds up downloading the file at www.domain.com/download/filename.zip as expected. 

Now where I get confused is that include files don't seem to work like that with PHP.  If I do this...

Code: [Select]
require_once('/includes/config.php');

That winds up looking for an /includes folder all the way back at the local server root, not just the web root.  so it's looking for /var/includes instead of /var/www/includes and of course that doesn't end up working.

So, how come the include file paths work differently than regular HTML paths or header redirects in PHP?  Is there any simple way I can always refer to the SITE root no matter what server it's running from?  I've tried playing with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] but it only seems to return the root of the current document, not the root of the whole site.  So if I use it within a php file located in /var/www/includes/test.php it considers /includes the root which is not what I want.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

i am trying to make a page to upload music to my website and add the information of the songs into a database, but i cannot get php to let me upload a file bigger than 2mb even after i went into the php.ini and changed the max_upload_size and a few others to 99mb.
So i was wondering if i could put my music in a folder on my website and pull the data from the items in the folder and make database entries(probably doubtful) or if i could get some help with getting php to upload bigger files?

thanks,
Adam

This may sound like a very stupid question, but I can't find a clear answer anywhere.

I'm making my first dive in OOP and all the tutorials only really show basic usage. They define a class, and show how to use it in a file.

My question is how does it work to use an object throughout a program? Is it available everywhere or do I store things in sessions and start a new object on each page?

For example: logging in a user. If I created an instance after confirming the credentials, would that same instance be available for use in say index.php, or would I just pass a session over and create a new instance on each page?

Again, sorry if this seems dumb to some people.

So say i have this:

Code: [Select]
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="_css/styles.css" />
now the file that is linking to that is 3 directories deep, besides using a rel or absolute link, could i define the path by using something like this

Code: [Select]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/_css/portfolio-styles.css"); ?>" type="text/css" />
but this is actually opening the CSS in the header

thanks for any explanation on how to do this

Hello


I have a simple question about file handling...


Is it possible to list all files in directories / subdirectories, and then read ALL files in those dirs,
and put the content of their file into an array?

Like this:

array:
[SomePath/test.php] = "All In this php file is being read by a new smart function!";
[SomePath/Weird/hello.txt = "Hello world. This is me and im just trying to get some help!";

and so on, until no further files exists in that rootdir.

All my attempts went totally crazy and none of them works... therefore i need to ask you for help.


Do you have any ideas how to do this?
If so, how can I be able to do it?


Thanks in Advance, pros

So far I have managed to create an upload process which uploads a picture, updates the database on file location and then tries to upload the db a 2nd time to update the Thumbnails file location (i tried updating the thumbnails location in one go and for some reason this causes failure)

But the main problem is that it doesn't upload some files

Here is my upload.php

<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';

$statusMsg = '';

$Title = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['Title']) ; 
$BodyText = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['ThreadBody']) ; 
	 

// File upload path
$targetDir = "upload/";
$fileName = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$targetFilePath = $targetDir . $fileName;
$fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$Thumbnail = "upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'";

if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && !empty($_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    // Allow certain file formats
    $allowTypes = array('jpg','png','jpeg','gif','pdf', "webm", "mp4");
    if(in_array($fileType, $allowTypes)){

        // Upload file to server
        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath)){

            // Insert image file name into database
            $insert = $conn->query("INSERT into Threads (Title, ThreadBody, filename) VALUES ('$Title', '$BodyText', '$fileName')");
            if($insert){
               $statusMsg = "The file ".$fileName. " has been uploaded successfully."; 

		$targetFilePathArg = escapeshellarg($targetFilePath);
		$output=null;
		$retval=null;
		 //exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 300x200 ./upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'", $output, $retval);
		 exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 200x200 $Thumbnail", $output, $retval);
		echo "REturned with status $retval and output:\n" ; 
		if ($retval == null) { 
		echo "Retval is null\n" ;
		echo "Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail\n" ; 
		}

            }else{
                $statusMsg = "File upload failed, please try again.";
            } 
        }else{
            $statusMsg = "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
        }
    }else{
        $statusMsg = 'Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, mp4, webm & PDF files are allowed to upload.';
    }
}else{
    $statusMsg = 'Please select a file to upload.';
}

//Update SQL db by setting the thumbnail column to equal $Thumbnail
$update = $conn->query("update Threads set thumbnail = '$Thumbnail' where filename = '$fileName'");
            if($update){
               $statusMsg = "Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.";
		echo $statusMsg ;  } 
else 
{ echo "\n Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail" ; } 


// Display status message
echo $statusMsg;
?>

And this does work on most files however it is not working on a 9.9mb png file  which is named "test.png" I tested on another 3.3 mb gif file and that failed too?

For some reason it returns the following

Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.

Whereas on the files it works on it returns

REturned with status 0 and output: Retval is null Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif' Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif'The file rainbow-trh-stache.gif has been uploaded successfully.

Any idea on why this is?

I am using WPSQT plugin in my blog site .I code some files in PHP also.how to add that files in plugin files.  

Hi, I want to post a simple comments box at the bottom of one of my web pages that will send the data from 4 different inputs, named "email," "name," "comments," and "telephone," to my email. Can someone look at my php code and see what is wrong? The website code box works great if I enter in all the fields, however if the email box is not filled out and you click the submit button, it displays "Invalid email address enteredThank you for your message, we will be in touch shortly" How do I get rid of "Thank you for your message, we will be in touch shortly" Also, it sends the email even if the ['Name'] tag is not filled out, I not sure how to make it required. By the way, I'm new to php, so sorry if this is a little hard to understand. Link to website: http://www.raysmasonryconcrete.com/contact.html

I'm not sure how to put in a tab when editing php with php


$fh = fopen(MYBB_ROOT.'/member.php', "r") or cperror("Could not open file!"); //OPEN FILE
    $data = fread($fh, filesize(MYBB_ROOT.'/member.php')) or cperror("Could not read file!"); //MAKE TEMPORARY STRING
    fclose($fh); //CLOSE FILE AGAIN
    $newdata = preg_replace('#'.preg_quote('eval("\$online_status = \"".$templates->get("member_profile_online")."\";");
      if(is_super_admin($memprofile[\'uid\'])){
       eval("\$online_status = \"".$templates->get("unknownlocation")."\";");
      }').'#','\t\teval("\\\\$online_status = \"".$templates->get("member_profile_online")."\";");',$data); //REPLACE IN STRING
    $fw = fopen(MYBB_ROOT.'/member.php', "w") or cperror('Could not open file!'); //OPEN FILE AGAIN
    $fb = fwrite($fw, $newdata) or cperror('Could not write to file'); //WRITE STRING TO FILE
    fclose($fw); //CLOSE FILE AGAIN
}

I need to tab that line twice so it lines up in the file, i've tried putting \t in twice but that doesn't work and just gives this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function teval() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/member.php on line 1621

So, how to you put tabs in?

Thanks

I need to open a template file change a text var and then save the file as something new. How can I do this?

Hi everyone

I am using this code which is an example from a website

Code: [Select]
<?php
$file_handle = fopen("myfile", "rb");

while (!feof($file_handle) ) {

$line_of_text = fgets($file_handle);
$parts = explode('=', $line_of_text);

print $parts[0] . $parts[1]. "<BR>";
}

fclose($file_handle);

?>
Which does what it is meant to, however what I am trying to do is put all the input into a form, so values can be changed.

How do I separate each part? Eg the 1st line of the files reads isactive = true, how would I grab this so I can put it back to the file later as isactive = false? Not all the options are true/false, most are just strings or ints.

Thanks

Hey guys!

I ran into another problem, i am looking to create a system so my users can go edit their accounts such as: Password, Age and Info and so on. but im am totally blank so i need some kind of tutorial to get started, or maybe help if anyone got time for that.

Thanks

One more question for the day.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to run about this.

Right now I have it set up so that two or more content pages CAN NOT have the same name or shortname as it performs checks to verify that there aren't both on my add new and edit pages.

Now problem here is that say I'm on the edit form and I'm editing a content page with its dropdowns and what not in the form. Now I'm thinking what would be the next course of option because what if I only want to change one dropdown but still keep the same name and shortname. When I submit it, its going to kickback my response that it can't be saved because there's already a page in there with that name and shortname even though I didn't change it.

Any suggestions?
