PHP - Reading Text From A Php File

So, I'm trying to get this read my text document "news.txt" and display the contents.

My code:
Code: [Select]
div.newscontent{
padding:0px;
margin-top:60px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-left:400px;
margin-right:0px;
position:absolute;
width:457px;
height:330px;
text-align:center;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
Code: [Select]

<div class='newscontent'>
<?PHP

$filename = "news.txt";
$arr = file($filename);
foreach($arr as $line){
    print $line . "<br/>";
}

?>
</div>
This is the output I get:
Code: [Select]
"; } ?>
Whats wrong?

I am trying to print out rows of images and pieces them to form a bigger map  but having a little trouble printing out correctly.

I am doing the following...

A numbered text file with rows of numbers like these:

33.txt
Code: [Select]
48,48,49,49,48,47,48,49,48,50,50,48,50,49,48,49,49,49
49,11,4,8,50,11,4,4,8,48,11,4,4,8,48,11,8,50
...
The number represent different area and the number in the text file represent each individual pieces of that particular area. the number of rows and columns are arbitrary.



Example:

Here is my code at the moment but there is something wrong in it as I can't seems to correctly print everything out...
Code: [Select]
<?php 
$file = file_get_contents("33.txt"); // can be any numbered text files
$entries = explode("\n", $file);
echo "Entries <br /><hr />";

for($i=0;$i < sizeof($entries);$i++){
for($j=0;$j < sizeof($entries);$j++){
$data = explode(",", $entries[$j]);
   echo "<td align=\"center\" background=\"test/33_";
   echo $data[$j];
echo ".gif\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\">
             <table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\">
             <tbody><tr>
                 <td>
                 <center></center>
                     </td>
                 </tr></tbody>
             </table>
             </td>";
}
}
?>

Hello All,

Please excuse my lack of knowledge in advance, I'm a beginner but pick things up relatively quickly, and tend to do things by trial and error.

I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer with the following:

I would like to retrieve two pieces of data from a "text file" and use them to calculate a result from a function I have in javascript. An example of the javascript code is:

<script type="text/javascript">
function calculate() {
var drybulb = document.calc_form.drybulb.value;
var relhum = document.calc_form.relhum.value;
var answer = '';
if (drybulb !== '' && relhum !== '') {
answer = (0.567*drybulb*1) + (0.393 * (relhum*1/100 * 6.105 * Math.exp(17.27 * drybulb / (237.7 + drybulb*1)))) + 3.94;
}
document.calc_form.answer.value = answer;
return false;
}
</script>

Currently this is evaluated with entry from a simple html form, but I would like to have this performed "automatically".


The "text file" that I would like to access is here, not on my server:

http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDV60901/IDV60901.94870.axf

I would like to extract the "air_temp" and "rel_hum" values under the [data] section for use in my function. I just need the "most recent" values (i.e. first), not all those contained in the file. This is a single record from that section (sorry for the mess this no doubt makes):

[data]
sort_order,wmo,name[80],history_product[80],local_date_time[80],local_date_time_full[80],aifstime_utc[80],air_temp,apparent_t,cloud[80],cloud_base_m,cloud_oktas,cloud_type[80],cloud_type_id,delta_t,dewpt,gust_kmh,gust_kt,lat,lon,press,press_msl,press_qnh,press_tend[80],rain_trace[80],rel_hum,sea_state[80],swell_dir_worded[80],swell_height,swell_period,vis_km[80],weather[80],wind_dir[80],wind_spd_kmh,wind_spd_kt
0,94870,"Moorabbin Airport","IDV60901","27/10:00pm","20120227220000","20120227110000",18.8,19.3,"Partly cloudy",510,3,"-",-9999,0.8,17.5,13,7,-38.0,145.1,1013.5,-9999.0,1013.5,"-","11.4",92,"-","-",-9999.0,-9999,"10","-","S",11,6



Would it be possible to obtain these values using PHP?, and if so any advice on how this could be done (noting my minimal knowledge) would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

I'm testing out small bits of code for myself, and I'm trying to understand why this isn't coming out how I would imagine it to...

I have my function which stores colors in an array from a text file, then I return back a random color from my array like so...

function getColor() {
$ball_color = explode("\n", file_get_contents('colors.txt')); // Takes file contents and stores them into an array.
return $ball_color[array_rand($ball_color)];
}

And now in the main program, I simply have this:

$color = getColor();
switch($color) {
Case "blue":
     // echo stuff
        break;
    Case "red":
     // echo stuff
        break;
    etc... 
}



For some reason though, my switch statement always reads the default case, making me assume that the words "blue" "red" "green" etc... aren't matching up to what I have set the cases at. When I output what color is actually being read, it displays exactly as it should, so I don't understand why the case "red" isn't opening up when that color is chosen, or same with any of the other colors.

Is there some small conflict I'm unaware of in this tiny practice code? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Well, im a n00b for php, and what i need is a php script which will read data from .xml file and write it into .txt file. Can someone help me?
Example of .xml file :

THE AVERAGES ARE BASED ON ONE WEEK OR SEVEN DAYS, WHY CANT I OPEN THE FILE AND GET THE PROGRAM TO READ IT, I AM A STUDENT AND VERY, VERY, VERY BAD AT THIS, MAKES ME CRAZY CAUSE I REALLY LOVE IT

      
      
   

So here is what I have going.

#1 - My weather station software processes a file and enters variables and then uploads it as a php file.
#2 - Currently the station also just uploads every file to the site and enters the data in the html, but I would rather have it only upload this one file and the other pages grab data from it and print it out. I have a few php scrips in there to preform certain functions (if temp <= 32 it echos that data in blue and so on) but would rather make most of it php so I have less files being uploaded every 5 minutes.

This is what the station sends to the web, but I have no idea how to get the other pages to read it and input the variables from it.

hi i tried to add this to my php file

Code: [Select]
<?php

$xfile = @file('banners.txt', "r");
$random_num = rand (0,count($xfile)-1);
$data = explode("::",$xfile[$random_num]); 
echo $data[1];

?>

i get no output

i then tried just including the txt file like

include 'banners.txt';

then everything in the txt file opens.

and if i use fopen like this
Code: [Select]
<?php

$xfile = fopen ('banners.txt', "r");
$random_num = rand (0,count($xfile)-1);
$udata = explode("::",$xfile[$random_num]); 
echo $udata[1];

?>

i get this error

Warning: fopen(banners.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/public_html/template/folder1/main.php on line 72

where as the txt file exist there


anyone could help solve my issue?

I have 4 websites
http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/101/101395
http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/169/16000
http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/101/101396
http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/169/16001

I am trying to write a program that will open each webpage one at a time, look for a unique word such as 'FREE' and if it is found the write the URL to a file, if not then no output and the next webpage is opened. I know this word exists only on one of the pages above (http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/101/101396).

When http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/101/101396 appears last in the list located in source.txt the programs WORKS.
When http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/101/101396 appears in any other position such as first, or second, the program does NOT work.

My head is sore from banging against my desk. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi. I have text files in the directory that contain rapidshare.com links. Now what I need to do is take them one by one and check links inside them one by one using rapidshare API.

Everything works fine apart from one thing.

It reads files and deletes the ones containing dead links but the problem is that it only deletes the file if ALL links are dead, but not when only one link is dead or some of them.

Code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
function rs_check($url){
if (!$url) return false;
$files_pattern= '/\/files\/([^\/]*)\//';
$filename_pattern= '/\/files\/.*\/(.*)/';
preg_match($files_pattern, $url, $matches_id);
preg_match($filename_pattern, $url, $matches_name);
$res= file_get_contents("http://api.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=checkfiles_v1&files={$matches_id[1]}&filenames={$matches_name[1]}");
list($fId,$fName,$fSize,$fServerId,$fStatus,$fShortHost,$fmd5) =explode(',',$res);
return ($fStatus==1 || $fStatus==2);
}   
$directory = "download/"; 
$linksfiles = glob("" . $directory . "*.txt"); 
foreach($linksfiles as $linkfile)
{
$lf = file_get_contents($linkfile);
$purefilename = str_replace($directory, "" , $linkfile); 
if($purefilename != "5100c00fdb545e12e8cb4f9c5f69ec21.txt"){
if(rs_check($lf) != 1){
unlink($directory . $purefilename);
echo("<br />");
}
} 
}
?>

So I have a text file "name.txt"

in the text file I have ids and auth keys set up like this

1234564 abcdfhu
3123900 sdkoao

etc

How could I make it to where the ids are $ids and the auth keys are $auth_keys?

I've tried using foreach() but I cant get it

Where is the best to store the list of categories and menu? Obviously it is better to reduce mysql queries. From a plain list in file, we can create desirable list (menu) from an array. This is quite faster (though SELECT from an indexed table is fast too; but I do know if it is as fast as reading from a php file). Any idea how to code this to create the menu faster ?

As per the client requirement he wants to read words from a file and want to insert them in database  one by one . ie a confirmation is required whether he wants to insert is or not. I have developed the thing but the problem is when i am retrieving the words it asks for all the words. i will show u wat the problem is. My main query is i want to pause the exectution until user's input.
