PHP - If File_exists For Calling A Xml File
I want to get suggested keywords from yahoo api service. When xml file is empty (no keyword), it gives error. To resolve this problem I used this code:
if (file_exists('http://search.yahooapis.com/WebSearchService/V1/relatedSuggestion?appid=YahooDemo&query=Madonna&results=2')) { $xmlmetades = simplexml_load_file('http://search.yahooapis.com/WebSearchService/V1/relatedSuggestion?appid=YahooDemo&query=Madonna&results=2'); } Since it is not a normal .xml file, it is always considered no file, and return nothing. Similar TutorialsI'm just trying to find out if php has the ability to check if any file exists, with only part of the filename given.. I have this path: if (file_exists($dir.'/'.$c_file.'/templ_*')) { I added a little star.. That star represents whatever the rest of that file is named for this example.. It could be anything.. So can php match any files that start with "templ_", and say that it does or does not exist?? Thanks I'm working on a WordPress theme and I'm trying to build in a simple if statement which will check if the user has add his own logo into the images folder if he doesn't then the name of the blog will appear as normal text in place of the graphic logo. This is how it looks like: <?php $logo_dir = get_template_directory_uri() . "/images/logo.png"; if (file_exists($logo_dir)) { ?> <li><img src="<?php bloginfo ('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" /></li> <?php } else { ?> <li id='blog_name'><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><font>*</font></a></li> <?php } ?> I've echo'd out $logo_dir, the URL is correct, but still for some reason it's seeing it as if there would no file exist. If I turn it around into !file_exists then the graphic logo WILL show up. So it's always seeing it as non-existent. Any ideas why this could be or am I using this function in a wrong fashion? As far as I've understood the PHP manual, this is the correct way of using it. *delurk! It had to happen sooner or later!* OK, I am totally and utterly stumped. I have this script: $this->clear_cache ($this->cache_dir, $this->cache_time); if ($this->cache_time > 0) { $current_page = $_SERVER ['REQUEST_URI']; $current_page_encoded = base64_encode($current_page); $current_page_path = $this->cache_dir . $current_page_encoded; if (file_exists($current_page_path)) { // see if there is still a file with the name of the current request URI after cache cleared $content = file_get_contents ($current_page_path); return $content; } } Basically, it is for checking if there is a cached version of the page before running the rest of the script, using the REQUEST_URI as the identifier. So it calls a function to clear the cache, which works fine (and I've tried just deleting the cache files manually anyway). Then it checks if we are even caching, i.e. if cache time is greater than 0. Then it uses the BASE64-encoded REQUEST_URI (under which name the file would have been cached previously) to check if a file with that name still exists in the cache dir, and if so loads it. Now, this works perfectly with a url like: mysite/myscript/mysubpage But when the page has parameters, like: mysite/myscript/mysubpage?search=widgets the file_exists function returns TRUE, even though the directory is empty. I did do a clearstatcache(); but it made no difference and anyway, it wouldn't explain why the URI with query string would fail while the regular one would not. And even if something is wrong with my code elsewhere, the fact is it is returning TRUE for a non-existent file. Can someone prevent my slide into insanity?! Hi all My code give this: <b>Warning</b>: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/clients/........ I get the tmp folder and check for its existanse and whether it is writeable
$t=sys_get_temp_dir(); Both gives no which is fine, I can process that. I do it to avoid the output above, but I still get that. How should I check for allowed paths? This runs on several systems where I cannot access php.ini or other system stuff.
Hi, I wrote this to retrieve a file based on a POST value. For some reason it will not retrieve the file content and display it at all. I get this message: Warning: fopen(18.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/x/y/z/path/html/includes/different.php The 18 is the correct POST value. So that is a positive There is a file named 18.txt in /home/content/x/y/z/path/html/includes/18.txt Thanks. <?php $id5 = $_POST[id]; //Display Text File $myFile = $id5; $myFile .= ".txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r'); $theData = fgets($fh); fclose($fh); echo $theData; ?> I had Tom Cat Java installed on my Linux sever and I need to call a java file, which isn't working.

What am I missing? Hi guys, I hope you may be able to shed some light on a problem I am having. I am fairly new to PHP although do understand bits and peices such as login system. Basically - I have a website with lets say 10 users (more like 500 but that will do for now!) - Each user has their own page wich is password protected. Each month - I want to be able to upload PDF files to the server - which CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY THE RELEVANT user. They must not be able to see each others PDF files. To do this I have been advised to have a non-web accessible folder on my server to put the PDF's in and then use PHP to handle the operation. Therefore my path would be: 1/ User logs into page 2/ User clicks the PDF link 3/ PF link goes to PHP page that checks they are logged in and then the PDF they want before delivering to the server. I do actually understand the theory but my PHP is not at the stage where I can just write the code that will handle the operation. I am also very confused over how to access the non-web accessible files! Could anyone please give me an example of the code I will need to use to a) check the user is logged in (I guess I can use the same code I used for the login) and then b) call the relevant PDF and display it? I have been given a path of c:\blahblahblah to access my PDF files but don't even know how to begin implimenting this! Here is the code I use for my login system. Could anyone show me how to adapt it to get what I need? Thank so much for anyone that can help - hopefully I will be in a position to give back one day! -------------------------------------------- if(isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) { header("Location:" . strtolower($username) . ".php"); if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']); $mysql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mydb WHERE username = '{$username}' AND password = '{$password}'"); if(mysql_num_rows($mysql) < 1) { die("Password or Username incorrect! Please <a href='login.php'>click here</a> to try again"); } $_SESSION['loggedin'] = "YES"; $_SESSION['username'] = $username; header("Location:" . strtolower($username) . ".php"); AND THEN IN THE HEADER OF THE PAGES <?php session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) { header('Location: /login.php'); } elseif ($_SESSION['username'] . '.php' != basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) ) { // Logged in user attempting to view someone else's page header("Location:" . strtolower($_SESSION['username']) . ".php"); exit; } ?> Again - any help would be truly appreciated. I will say now that the last person I asked said "Use the open() function - that'll work!" ...... answers like that are a bit lost on me at the moment and leave me even more confused! Cheers in advance I am trying to do a loop which uses file_exists to check if an image exists and if so display it using the following code: <?php $i = 1; while ($i <= 8) { $filename = $img_loc . "/hovers-800px/" . $image . "-" . $i . ".jpg"; if (file_exists($filename)) { ?> <a class="fuglybox" rel="gxr" href="<?php echo $filename; ?>"> <!--Main thumbnail image--> <img src="<?php echo $img_loc; ?>/product-detail-90px/<?php $image . "-" . $i . ".jpg"; ?>" alt="" width="90" height="90" /></a> <?php } $i++; } ?> I have echoed out $filename to check my directory structure and filename is fine and copied the echoed directory out. The structure is however http://Http://www.xxxxxx.com/img/filename.jpg. Could this be whats causing the problem? <code> $jpg_path = '../../../users/user_avatars/' . $_SESSION['the_user'] . '.jpg'; $jpeg_path = '../../../users/user_avatars/' . $_SESSION['the_user'] . '.jpeg'; $gif_path = '../../../users/user_avatars/' . $_SESSION['the_user'] . '.gif'; $png_path = '../../../users/user_avatars/' . $_SESSION['the_user'] . '.png'; $jpg_test = file_exists($jpg_path); $jpeg_test = file_exists($jpeg_path); $gif_test = file_exists($gif_path); $png_test = file_exists($png_path); </code> the path is EXACTLY correct I've checked and rechecked and everything. echoed the path and everything else that is relevant. but later when I call if ($png_test == '1') { blah blah blah } it won't return 1. even though I KNOW that the picture is there and it is at that path. if i echo the path in a src for an image it appears. hmm? I've read as many previous posts as I can find and tried all the suggested solutions but the following simple test code will not work for me (the session variable has been echoed and is correct). Instead of echoing the correct answer, the if(file_exists($target_file)) skips the true result and always displays the false one. I've tested it with files that do and don't exist of course. Here is the code :- $filename = $_SESSION["filename"]; $target_file = $_SERVER['CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/folder/' . $_SESSION["filename"]; if (file_exists($target_file)) { echo 'Selected file is ' . $filename . ' and will be written.'; } else { echo "Selected file " . $filename . " doesn't exist."; } I'd really appreciate any help on this please. Edited July 11, 2020 by oldceltHello all, I am a real newby to this but need some help with a file_exists / while loop issue i have. I am trying to show a table of pictures (with their own ID's) but also if someone hasn't uploaded a picture to the server a default picture will be shown instead. I get the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/thefrien/public_html/members1.php on line 103 Here is my code: $i = 1; echo "<table border='1' align='center'><tr>"; $result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM membership order by L_ID asc" ); while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ) ) { echo "<td align='center' bgcolor='#DDDEFF'><a href='profile_view.php?L_ID=".$row["L_ID"] ."'>" $pic = 'images/avatar/'. $row["L_ID"] .'s.jpg'; if (file_exists($pic)) { echo '<img src=http://www.thefriendzconnection.co.uk/images/avatar/'.$row["L_ID"] ."s.jpg>"; } else { echo '<img src=http://www.thefriendzconnection.co.uk/images/0s.jpg border='0'>'; } "</a> <br><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>".$row["name"] ."</font> <br><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>ID: ".$row["L_ID"] ."</font> <br> </td>"; if ( $i % 6 == 0 ) { echo "</tr><tr>"; } $i++; } mysql_free_result( $result ); echo "</tr></table>"; The line I am having issues with seems to be: $pic = 'images/avatar/'. $row["L_ID"] .'s.jpg'; Any suggestions would be greatfully received Thanks. Hi, I am trying to verify if the given url exists or not, by using file_exists() function. It always returns 'FALSE' , according to my understanding it happening because the file to be checked on the given url is located in safe mode. Could anyone please suggest as to how this could be overcome, by similar function or by using alternative method. Regards Abhishek Madhani My setup: (everything on a local network) Web server: Ubuntu Server 8.10 -- Workgroup File server: Windows Server 2008 x64 -- domain Test server: Win 2000 running WAMP -- domain I'm trying to run the code snippet below. $file is a file on the File server above. It definitely exists. Running the code below on the Test server works perfectly. But the file cannot be found when running from the Web server. $file = '//server/share/file.txt'; if (file_exists($file)) echo 'yay!'; else echo 'error'; What with the safe mode considerations, I've also tried to add: ini_set('safe_mode', 'Off'); to no effect. And since file, and fopen similarly not work, I'm pretty sure it's not that either. The File & Test servers are on the same Windows domain, but that's definitely not the reason. I tried the code on a file on a Linux computer in the Workgroup (where the Web server is) with the same results: Test server works, Web server does not. Please advise; I'm really lost.

Hello, I am having some issues with a project I am working on. I am calling a php file on another server using Code: [Select] <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.website.com/test/file.php"></script> I have the correct type header in my php file and the php outputs JS. example Code: [Select] echo "document.write(\"some stuff\");"; that kind of thing happens alot I also have it outputting a few JS functions, example Code: [Select] echo 'function dostuff(){ stuff }'; the problem I am having is when I add the JS call to the page that calls the php it does nothing I am using document.ready I am not really sure where to go from here, I know php well enough to do anything I need but I do not know JS at all I can not post the actual source code, I know that would be much easier to troubleshoot this but this is something I just can not do. Also this needs to be done this way, I need to call to php files on another server so they can do some stuff and then use JS to change some things on another page on another server. This is a content locker, a lot like CPALead and things like that. What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated I am using simple machines forum, and by placing a link to ssi.php in the top of my php page Code: [Select] <?php require_once('/forum/SSI.php');?>I am able to use some ssi functions. My problem is calling another function from within a function. My first function is this: Code: [Select] <?php $allowed_groups = array(1,5); $can_see = FALSE; foreach ($allowed_groups as $allowed) if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups'])) { $can_see = TRUE; break; } if ($can_see) { echo ' <div> this is text that i want certain groups to see </div>'; } else { //message or section to show if they are not allowed. echo 'this is text that i dont want certain groups to see'; } ?> This is my second function: Code: [Select] <?php ssi_welcome(); ?> I want to put the second function inside the first function, like so: Code: [Select] if ($can_see) { echo ' <div> <?php ssi_welcome(); ?> </div>'; this just gives me the "<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>" displayed on the actual site, it is not calling the separate function. I have tried different approaches, e.g. $function ssi_welcome; but all it does is display this as text as well.. Please can some one point me in the right direction. Thank you |
