PHP - Php File Text Search
Hello, I had simple php website in one folder, no database in the website. I need a method for text search in the web directory... Any help? Thanks Similar TutorialsHello, Okay for some reason i cannot do this, when i open a file in php and search for string, it doesn't seem to work, some codes i tried: Code: [Select] $filename = 'example.txt'; $searchfor = 'hello'; $fh = fopen($filename, 'r'); $olddata = fread($fh, filesize($filename)); if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) { //fount it } else { //can't find it } fclose($fh); (above it just sample text, i was hoping you could give me sample code that will work) I tried many others like strstr, stristr, preg_replace etc etc, doesn't seem to find it.. this is my text file: Code: [Select] sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf[b]hello[/b]sdvsdf dfadfsdfsdfsddfsdf sdfsdfsdfs sdffffffffffffffffffffdv vsvdsdsf I don't want to find it by line, i want to simply open the text file and find the string.. thanks..

You help is much appreciated (Please note that need to understand more than I need the Code itself) Basically I need to search through a zip file for one file. I've tried quite a few things but the zip functions are now really starting to annoy me. My most recent attempt was this: $zip = zip_open(myzip.zip); while ($zip_file = zip_read($zip) != "file.php") { } zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_file); $contents = zip_entry_read($zip_file); But of course that just timed out on me. Anyone got any ideas? Hi, I'm a beginner, i had a problem about get content from file, i had searched but i can't solve my problem: I have a text file (abc.txt). It have content like this: _*Chapter*_ : ... Author: aaa ( and then content .......vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.......) _*Chapter*_ : ... Author: bbb ( and then content .........vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.........) ..... and it loops like that. I have a string (abcxyz) that need to find in contents. If found it in content, print the name of the author (print all author have that content). the _*Chapter*_ is unique, in content hasn't got that word, but the word Author maybe. But beetween the Chapter and the Author, hasn't another word Author. Thanks a lot. PS: I need someone can help me to code this. (don't send me a link to example or something etc...) Hello, i need some help/info about searching words in files (txt or xml) and saving them to db or another file.
For example ive got an xml file like below:
<families>
<family>
<name>brown</name>
<city>denver</city>
<members>12</members>
</family>
<family>
<name>jackson</name>
<city>new york</city>
<members>6</members>
</family>
</families>
i want to search for: <family> then save the lines till it comes to the word </family> and then goes to the next group. did some reading about array, preg_match, strpos functions but dont know where to start. what is the best way to do this?
can you guys give me some advise... or links to good tutorials?
thanks in advance!
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,$aline."\n"); }//Checking for match }//while eof(old) what in the world is making this such a big deal. i dont remember having this issue in the past I tried opening with w+, and just w on the temp file a typical text line would be some fieldname = some value the scipt cycles through the file ignoring comments that are "#" ps the tmp file will overwrite the origianl once complete all i really want to know is WHY i cant get the newline to work, and what is the suggested fix EDIT: i just tried PHP_EOL and it still appends another newline Hi, I am writing several scripts and some are used to amend extra information to a text file. However, I added a hyperlink to the text file so that the user can go back to a page where they can add extra information. However, since I have done this every time I amend more text to the text file, the extra text appears below the hyperlink rather than above it, and I was wondering if there was a way around this. My amend code is as follows: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Amend File</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" a href="rcm/stylesheet.css"> </head> <?php if($_POST['append'] !=null) { $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file=fopen($filename, "a"); $msg="<p>Updated Information: " .$_POST['append']. "</p><br>"; fputs ($file, $msg); fclose($file); } ?> <body> <h1>Do you want to append to a document?</h1> Enter Updated Information: <form action="amendfile2.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="40" name="append"><br><br> <input type="submit" value="Add updated information to report"> </form> <form action="viewfile3.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" size="40" value="View Web Blog"> </form> <form action="loginform.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" value="Click here to go to the Log In Screen"> </form> </body></html> And my text file is as follows: Code: [Select] <h1>Accident Report</h1> <p>First Name: Andrew Last Name: Denman Age: 18 Complete Weeks Since Accident: 2<br> <a href="amendfile2.php">Amend to this file</a> Any help would be appreciated 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. Currently I am using a script that displays the entire directory. However I am trying to use preg_match to try and figure out
how to just link to one file from the directory via a search string from a form.
I am probably not even close so please bare with me
<?php if (isset($_POST['filelook'])) { $filez = $_POST['filelook']; } /* edit $path to the directory you want to use edit $file_types to change the file types to show */ function file_type($file) { $searchString = $filez; $path_chunks = explode("/", $file); $thefile = $path_chunks[count($path_chunks) - 1]; $dotpos = strrpos($thefile, "."); return strtolower(substr($thefile, $dotpos + 1)); } $file_count = 0; $path = "./WinFiles/files"; $file_types = array('png', 'jpg'); $p = opendir($path); while (false !== ($filelook = readdir($p))) { $files[] = $filelook; } sort($files); echo "<b> Your file results:</b><br> "; if (file_exists($filez) && is_readable($filez) && preg_match($filez)) { echo '<a href="download.php?f='.$filez.'">'.$filez.'</a> <br/>'; //find filename like name searched for... if($file_count == 0) { echo "<b>No file match your file types</b>"; } } ?> I'm trying to get a good full text search working but am having some problems. Below is the sql that I am using to perform the search. One of the problems I am having is that the search only seems to be working on full words. Also if I misspell a word such as "seacrh" rather than "search" then no matches are found. Is there a way to return results even for misspelt words? match(author) against('search_phrase ') Thanks for any help.
