PHP - How To Shorten A Text?
The $a variable contains the news text. The $link variable contains a link to the page with the full text of this news. change text Similar TutorialsOk, I have a log file that is written to. I only want the text file to have the last fifty lines (\n) delimited So, how do I make it delete the excess from the TOP of the file? So if it had 60 lines, I would want it to only have lines 10-60 to net 50 total. Thanks. Hi everyone, I know im being really picky here, but im trying to optimize my code, and i was wondering if there is any way i can shorten the following: if ($submit) {echo $name;} else {echo $row['dbname'];} I know it fairly short already however im using it as the value of a html text box. Thanks Hi, When a user POSTS 10 maps (dropdown), I don't want any two or more being the same. From my knowledge, only way I know of doing this, is this very long messy way: Code: [Select] if($_POST['map1']==$_POST['map2'] || $_POST['map1']==$_POST['map3'] || $_POST['map1']==$_POST['map4'] || $_POST['map1']==$_POST['map5']) etc... then I need to type if $_POST['map2']==$_POST['map1'] etc... How can I put this in its simplest form so that there are no POST duplicates? Thanks for any help. hello, is it possible to get the 1274 out of the following? Code: [Select] $jobnumber='1009-1274R'; $shortnumber= (this is where i need it to be 1274); Hey all, I really like programming in PHP, but I'm still in the learning process. And mostly, I'm not that good in making my code short. This is now the case again. I have this code which gets a lot of checkboxes, only checkboxes, out of a mysql database, for a planning project. Now the code I have so far, retrieves the checkboxes, which are booleans in the database, and checks if they are True or False and sets the checkboxes respectively to checked="yes" or not. This code works. But I'm here to get tips on how to shorten my code, since it's very repetitive and thus long, which isn't quite efficient. As I said, I'm still in learning process, so I hope you guys understand that I'm looking for help with this. Thanks. EDIT: Okay, I now suddenly see, that I can use elsif for True and False. This would be logical to do, and I can accomplish this easily. But it would be still very repetitive. Here's the code: Code: (php) [Select] <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ // UNCHECKED if ($row['fact-sent'] == false){ $fact_sent = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['fact-payed'] == false){ $fact_payed = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['domain'] == false){ $domain = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['content'] == false){ $content = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['design-sent'] == false){ $design_sent = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['design-approved'] == false){ $design_approved = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['design-sliced'] == false){ $design_sliced = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['temp-website'] == false){ $temp_website = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['temp-website-sent'] == false){ $temp_website_sent = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['temp-website-approved'] == false){ $temp_website_approved = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['cms'] == false){ $cms = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['seo'] == false){ $seo = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['analytics'] == false){ $analytics = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['webmaster-tools'] == false){ $webmaster_tools = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['website'] == false){ $website = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } if ($row['website-online'] == false){ $website_online = '<input type="checkbox" />'; } // CHECKED if ($row['fact-sent'] == true){ $fact_sent = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['fact-payed'] == true){ $fact_payed = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['domain'] == true){ $domain = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['content'] == true){ $content = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['design-sent'] == true){ $design_sent = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['design-approved'] == true){ $design_approved = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['design-sliced'] == true){ $design_sliced = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['temp-website'] == true){ $temp_website = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['temp-website-sent'] == true){ $temp_website_sent = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['temp-website-approved'] == true){ $temp_website_approved = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['cms'] == true){ $cms = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['seo'] == true){ $seo = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['analytics'] == true){ $analytics = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['webmaster-tools'] == true){ $webmaster_tools = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['website'] == true){ $website = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } if ($row['website-online'] == true){ $website_online = '<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />'; } // OUTPUT echo '<tr><td class="customer">'.$row['project'].'</td><td class="customer">'.$row['customer'].'</td><td class="data">'.$fact_sent.'</td><td class="data">'.$fact_payed.'</td><td class="data">'.$domain.'</td><td class="data">'.$content.'</td><td class="data">'.$design_sent.'</td><td class="data">'.$design_approved.'</td><td class="data">'.$design_sliced.'</td><td class="data">'.$temp_website.'</td><td class="data">'.$temp_website_sent.'</td><td class="data">'.$temp_website_approved.'</td><td class="data">'.$cms.'</td><td class="data">'.$seo.'</td><td class="data">'.$analytics.'</td><td class="data">'.$webmaster_tools.'</td><td class="data">'.$website.'</td><td class="data">'.$website_online.'</td></tr>'; } ?> I need help to shorten the following url in apache .htaccess

I need to create a textarea , drop down list and submit button . At first , I can type whatever I want in the textarea , but for certain part I can just choose the word I want from drop down list and click submit , then the word will appear in the textarea as my next word . But I have no idea how to make this works , is there any simple example for this function ? Thanks for any help provided . I'd like to use a text editor like this one: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php for my forums. But I am not sure exactly how I would prevent abuse and injects to messed up the page, rather than being contained in the designated area it is meant for. Could some one please help me, I know htmlspecailchars will not work, since some of the code needs to render as html I currently am working on a project where I code a "simple" telephone directory. There are three main tasks that it needs to do: 1. Directory.php(index page) has a "First Name" and "Last Name" field and a search button. When a name is searched from the directory.txt file, it displays First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in findinfo.php in designated text boxes...first name, last name, etc. 2. From the findinfo.php, like previously stated, the users information is listed in the appropriate text boxes. From there, there is an update button that will overwrite the user's information to directory.txt if that button is selected. It will then say the write was sucessful. 3. (completed this step) From the index page, there is a link that will take you to addnew.php where you enter First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in a web form and write it to directory.txt. This is the php code for the third step: <?php $newentryfile = fopen("directory.txt", "a+"); $firstname = $_POST['fname']; $lastname = $_POST['lname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $city = $_POST['city']; $state = $_POST['state']; $zip = $_POST['zip']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $newentry = "$firstname $lastname\n\r $address\n\r $city, $state $zip\n\r $phone\n\r"; if (flock($newentryfile, LOCK_EX)) { if (fwrite($newentryfile, $newentry) > 0) echo "<p>" . stripslashes($firstname) . " " . stripslashes($lastname) . " has been added to the directory.</p>"; else echo "<p>Registration error!</p>"; flock($newentryfile, LOCK_UN); } else echo "<p>Cannot write to the file. Please try again later</p>"; fclose($newentryfile); if(empty($firstname) || empty($lastname) || empty($address) || empty($city) || empty ($state) || empty($zip) || empty($phone)) { echo "<p>Please go back and fill out all fields.</p>"; } ?> So to sum it all up, what would be my best approach? I am totally stumped and not sure which function to use. Should I work my way from step 1 to step 2? I see it as when I do the search for the name from directory.php, it takes me to findinfo.php, listing the users information in the text boxes. From there, if I needed to, having the user's information already listed I could hit the update button to overwrite the new information to directory.txt. Doing the update when then tell me that the write was successful. I have literally been scouring the internet for hours. What would be the best function to do this? I hope I was clear enough. Please help me out and thank you for your time. Ok i have been working on this for a day+ now. here is my delema simple .ini text file. when a user makes a change (via html form) it makes the correct adjustments. problem is the newline issue 1. if i put a "\n" at the end (when using fputs) works great, except everytime they edit the file it keeps adding a new line (i.e. 10 edits there are now 10 blank lines!!!!) 2. if i leave off the "\n" it appends the next "fgets" to that lilne making a mess Code: [Select] ##-- Loop thruoght the ORIGINAL file while( ! feof($old)) { ##-- Get a line of text $aline = fgets($old); ##-- We only need to check for "=" if(strpos($aline,"=") > 0 ) { ##-- Write NEW data to tmp file fputs($tmp,$info[$i]." = ".$rslt[$i]."\n"); $i++; } ##-- No Match else { fputs($tmp,$aline."\n"); }//Checking for match }//while eof(old) what in the world is making this such a big deal. i dont remember having this issue in the past I tried opening with w+, and just w on the temp file a typical text line would be some fieldname = some value the scipt cycles through the file ignoring comments that are "#" ps the tmp file will overwrite the origianl once complete all i really want to know is WHY i cant get the newline to work, and what is the suggested fix EDIT: i just tried PHP_EOL and it still appends another newline I’m trying to construct a button that simply writes an "aleph" character into a text area, see below.
My code does not work, can anyone tell me why ? How should I fix it ?

Hi there. How do I reflect the text content of the variable $a in this text form: <input type="text" name="artist"> Regards Morris Hi, I am writing several scripts and some are used to amend extra information to a text file. However, I added a hyperlink to the text file so that the user can go back to a page where they can add extra information. However, since I have done this every time I amend more text to the text file, the extra text appears below the hyperlink rather than above it, and I was wondering if there was a way around this. My amend code is as follows: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Amend File</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" a href="rcm/stylesheet.css"> </head> <?php if($_POST['append'] !=null) { $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file=fopen($filename, "a"); $msg="<p>Updated Information: " .$_POST['append'].

If it is possible, could somebody give me the exact code (I'm not a programmer) I would need to use? Thanks for any help on this. ok, I am hoping the code is self explanatory... but if not, I'm creating a script which I will be using for something else. Basically it says if OS and browser show code under... I am looking for two things. 1. Is there a way to make it so that it can pull from a list and show that if HTTP_USER_AGENT comes back with a specific output, to say you are using X OS with Y browser? 2.

I fill out the form, the data is sent and instantly I get a text message on my iphone. Here's the problem. If I use an apostrophe in the message text field I get an error code. I am assuming the html text field needed to be escaped but I tried everything and I still get the error. Any ideas on what to check or do?
