PHP - Help With Appending Data To A Text File
can someone give me a push here? I've tried "file_put_contents" and "fputs" and neither one works for me. I'm running PHP on an IIS server and a windows hosting plan. PHP version is 7.3.1 I believe. here is my code:
if ($validation = "true") {
file_put_contents("ValidationsRedeemed.txt", $validationKey . "|", FILE_APPEND);
//$handle = fopen("ValidationsRedeemed.txt", "a");
//fwrite($handle, $validationKey . "|");
//fclose ($handle);
}
else { //user entered a product key that is not recognized. tell them to try again.
echo "<script>alert('The product key entered is not valid.'+'\\n\\n'+'Please try again.');
window.location.href='test.php';</script>";
}
thanks! Similar TutorialsHey guys This is the first loop i have attempted on my own, so please tell me if ive done something completely stupid.. What happens is the suer specifies a number of thumbnails on the previous page, these are posted to the form and then that amount of thumbnails should be displayed. Heres what i have so far $cd = 0; while ($cd < $numberofthumbnails) { $displaythumbs . '<div class="ThumbnailHolder"> <div class="LeftThumb"><a class="group" href="../../../Images/Lighthouses/Beachy-Head/1.png"><img src="../../../Images/Lighthouses/Beachy-Head/Mini/Thumbnail-1.png" width="430" height="200" alt="Thumbnail 1"></a></div> <div class="RightThumb"><a class="group" href="../../../Images/Lighthouses/Beachy-Head/2.png"><img src="../../../Images/Lighthouses/Beachy-Head/Mini/Thumbnail-2.png" width="430" height="200" alt="Thumbnail 2"></a></div></div> '; $cd++; } Essentially what im trying to do is as thumbnail code to $displaythumbs for each time the loop goes round. What am i doing wrong? Thanks Danny. Hi, I have the following code which allows a user to enter a name for a mysql column field. Once they have submitted the form they are then redirected back to the form which allows them to enter the name for another mysql column form. When they are returned to the form, I would like the new column field added to the file named userinfo.php The problem is, I need the column field variable entered into the userinfo.php in the following format $newcolumn = $info['newcolumn'] but when I put it like this $stringData = "$newcolumn = $info['newcolumn']"; I get this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/tropicsb/public_html/MemberSiteMaker/admin.php on line 398 Code: [Select] // Profile and Application details case "profileFields": session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { $newcolumn = $_GET['newcolumn']; $file = "lib/userinfo.php"; $fh = fopen($file, 'a') or die ("Cant open file"); $stringData = "$newcolumn = $info['newcolumn']"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); echo "This is the logged in page\n<br>"; ECHO <<<PAGE <form action=admin.php?cmd=addfield&username=admin method=POST> <input type=text name=newcolumn> <input type=submit name=submit> PAGE; } else { echo "This is a failed login"; } break; case "addfield": include_once("data/mysql.php"); $newcolumn = $_POST['newcolumn']; $mysqlPassword = (base64_decode($mysqlpword)); $con = mysql_connect("$localhost", "$mysqlusername", "$mysqlPassword") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("$dbname", $con) or die(mysql_error()); $result=mysql_query("ALTER TABLE members ADD $newcolumn VARCHAR(30) AFTER approved") or die("Alter Error: ".mysql_error()); mysql_close($con); echo "Database has been modified successfully."; echo '<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="5;url=admin.php?cmd=profileFields&username=admin&$newcolumn">'; break; thanks Hello everybody! Keep in mind I'm new to PHP but get the basics I'm trying to collect email addresses from a web-form that gets filled out on a website into a simple txt file on the server. The problem is the emails get appended one right after the other with no spaces so it looks like "user@server.comuser2@server.comuser3@server.com" and so on. What I'm trying to do is either separate them by a comma, or put them on a new line but whatever I try, it will not accept it. Anyway, here is the code that I have: Code: [Select] $fp = fopen("/home/fullertr/public_html/email_collector.txt","a"); fwrite($fp,$_POST['visitormail' . "\n"]); fclose($fp); unset($_POST); Thanks for any help! is there a php solution that will take the raw data from one file and paste it into another text file? I have a master file and a download file that always starts at quarter past midnight . this data needs to be pasted into the master file, in the correct place , possibly overlapping and replacing data that already exists. the length of the download file will vary but will always start at 00. 15 the two files are www.maidenerleghweather.com/download.txt and also www.maidenerleghweather.com/master.txt any help appreciated . i have a text file that has spaces between each column. eg 12 12 13 22 34.5 10 13 18 88 32.5 12 33 17 23 22.3 (the actual data is weather data that accumulates a new line every 15 mins and is seen at www.maidenerleghweather.com/clientraw.txt ) each column represents a weather variable. i would like to use php to find the maximum values in each column and minimum values etc etc. how can i get the text data into arrays, so that i can then easily perform some simple stats on it? HOWEVER each line would NOT be an array. the first value in each line makes up array number one, second makes up two etc any ideas for a newbie beginner would be welcomed. I need to search through a text file and output certain text. My current script doesn't work well at all. Code: [Select] <? $file = 'flist.txt'; $handle = @fopen($file, "r"); $names = array(); $func = array(); $desc = array(); $nme; $fnc; $dsc; $s = -1; $e = -1; $n = 0; if ($handle) { while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false) { if($nme == 0) { if(strpos($buffer,"<a name") !== false) { $nme = 1; $s = strpos($buffer,"<a name"); } } else if($nme == 1) { if(strpos($buffer,"</span>") !== false) { $nme = 2; $e = strpos($buffer,"</span>"); $num = $e - $s; $names[$n] = strip_tags(substr($buffer,$s,$num)); } } else if($nme == 2) { if($fnc == 0) { if(strpos($buffer,"<table style") !== false) { $fnc = 1; $s = strpos($buffer,"<table style"); } } else if($fnc == 1) { if(strpos($buffer,"</td>") !== false) { $fnc = 2; $e = strpos($buffer,"</td>"); $num = $e - $s; $func[$n] = strip_tags(substr($buffer,$s,$num)); } } else if($fnc == 2) { if($dsc == 0) { if(strpos($buffer,"<p>") !== false) { $dsc = 1; $s = strpos($buffer,"<p>"); } } else if($dsc == 1) { if(strpos($buffer,"</p>") !== false) { $fnc = 0; $nme = 0; $dsc = 0; $e = strpos($buffer,"</p>"); $num = $e - $s; $desc[$n] = strip_tags(substr($buffer,$s,$num)); } } } } } if (!feof($handle)) { echo "Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n"; } fclose($handle); $n = 0; while($n < 100) { echo $names[$n] . "<br>"; echo $func[$n] . "<br>"; echo $desc[$n] . "<p>"; $n ++; } } ?> 4096 gets the data for each line, right? Well some of my data uses two lines. After all the searching is done I need it to output $names, $func, and $desc in plain text. 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. Thank you for all your help, Phee <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Telephone Directory</title> </head> <body> <form action='SignGuestBook.php' method='post'> <h1>Sign Guest Book</h1> <hr> <br> <table align='Left'> <tr> <td>Name: </td> <td><input name='name' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>E-mail: </td> <td><input name='email' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="submit" value='Sign' /></td> <td><input type="reset" value='Reset Form' /></td> </tr> </table> <h3></h3> <br> <h4></h4> <br> <h5></h5> <br> <h6></h6> <br> <h7></h7> <br> <hr> <a href="http://helios.ite.gmu.edu/~smohamu2/IT207/Lab%20Assignment%208/AddNew.html">View Guest Book</a> </form> </body> </html> [attachment deleted by admin] I have a very simple system (few files) having simple articles (only title and a paragraph description) stored in single text files. I catch the data by Code: [Select] $data=file('article1.txt'); $title=$data[0]; $description=$data[1]; This simple system works perfectly, but the problem appears when increasing the number of files (e.g. more than 10,000 articles). This is a problem connected with the OS behavior for handling huge number of files. My first question: Is there theoretically a faster system (e.g. database-based) for retrieving data, comparing with retrieving from plain text file? Second question: what can be an alternative for this very simple system (no search query or additional field)? 1. XML: It has the same problem if storing in different files. 2. Mysql: It is very advanced for this system. 3. SQLite:I am thinking of this, but it still have advanced structure of SQL. 4. DB Berkeley: I am not familiar with Oracle at all, and I need to install something new on my server. Is it really worth of trying? 5. Anything else? In general, I just need fast reading the data. I have no idea how much the speed of these systems are different to determine which is worth of consideration. Thanks for sharing your idea. 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. Hi I'm learning php and trying to write a script to extract registration information from a large text file. Sadly my meagre knowledge of php is letting me down a bit. It's a case of knowing what you want the script to do but not having the knowlege of how to 'say it'. So i was hoping that if I posted my code here someone could either give me a few pointers on where i am going wrong or suggest a better way. The text file data luckily has a recurring format as follows (for brevity i've only included one entry, which contains made up information): From: bella_done@yahoo.co.uk Sent: 02 February 2011 22:50 To: Jonny tum, patsy fells, dingly bongo Subject: Subject: Fun Run 2010 Categories: Fun Run Name: Bella Donna Address: 14 brondle avenue Postcode: cd83 1rg Phone: 0287343510 Email: bella_don@yahoo.co.uk DOB: 15/11/1945 Half or Full: Full fun run How did you hear: Took part in 2010 As you can see the data has a convenient boundary at the 'from' field and the colon (or so it occurred to me) so I created my script as follows: // the string being analysed $the_string = " From: bella_done@yahoo.co.uk Sent: 02 February 2011 22:50 To: Jonny tum, patsy fells, dingly bongo Subject: Subject: Fun Run 2010 Categories: Fun Run Name: Bella Donna Address: 14 brondle avenue Postcode: cd83 1rg Phone: 0287343510 Email: bella_don@yahoo.co.uk DOB: 15/11/1945 Half or Full: Full fun run How did you hear: Took part in 2010"; // remove all formatting to work with a clean string $clean_string = strip_tags($the_string); // remove form field entries from the data and replace with commas and a ZZZ boundary $remove_fields = array("Categories:" => "","Name:" => ",","Address:" => ",","Postcode:" => ",","Phone:" => ",","Email:" => ",","DOB:" => ",","Half or Full:" => ",","How did you hear:" => ",","From:" => "ZZZ","Sent:" => ",","To:" => ",", ); $new_string = strtr("$clean_string",$remove_fields); // split the data at the boundary ZZZ $string_to_array = explode("ZZZ", $new_string); $new_string2 = implode("</br>",$string_to_array); echo $new_string2; $myFile = "address_list.csv"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = $new_string2; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); One major problem is when i write the new data to a csv file the csv contains spacings that cause it to be reproduced in a column form rather than as separate fields for each comma boundary. So can anyone suggest either a) a better way of extracting the data from the text file (doesn't need to be 100% clean and perfect) b) How can i stop the spaces in the csv (i thought i would have fixed this when i stripped the tags from the string at the start??). Any help would be greatly received by a newbie phper. It's my first shot at performing anything moderately taxing so if I've made some blaring oversites I would very much welcome your wisdom! Thank you Drongo Hello,

I am writing a form and some php code that writes to a text file. I have that accomplished. My issue is that my form that writes to the text file appends to the bottom of the text file and I need it reversed. The latest form entry needs to be on top... and then the older posts to follow. I have tried the w+ r+ and c+ but that is not doing it. Is there something that I am missing? I appreciate the assistance! Mike Hi Guys Again, another noob question that I can't seem to find a concise answer to. What is the best way to append a query string to a url? I've tried using the Header() function but this didn't seem to work - i.e. Code: [Select] Header("Location: enc.php?ID=test"); My goal is to change the query string depending on the output of various if else statements. For instance if $test isset then execute some code. The script will be self contained so it'll be posting back to itself with the query string and reacting differently depending on the query string. Any ideas? PS sorry if i am asking too many questions. Eager to learn and struggling to find answers to some things. What I basically want to do (and not sure if this is possible) is to append a different query string based on Hi, I am writing several scripts and some are used to amend extra information to a text file. However, I added a hyperlink to the text file so that the user can go back to a page where they can add extra information. However, since I have done this every time I amend more text to the text file, the extra text appears below the hyperlink rather than above it, and I was wondering if there was a way around this. My amend code is as follows: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Amend File</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" a href="rcm/stylesheet.css"> </head> <?php if($_POST['append'] !=null) { $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file=fopen($filename, "a"); $msg="<p>Updated Information: " .$_POST['append'].

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 have an array of $fl By using values of this array, i want to create a new string. I need string size will be maximum 200 characters. When i try below code snipped, $f value is added to string two times. How can i add $f to array only one time, with checking size of string. Thank you Code: [Select] $fl=getsomelist(); // gives an array $userList=''; foreach ($fl as $f) { if ( strlen($userList .= $f) <= (200) ) { $userList .= $f; } else { break; } } |
