PHP Submit

van21691 · 04-13-2008, 03:50 AM

I do not know what its called but basically it is a form. It is more than a form.
It's hard to explain.
Let's say that I have two files: info.txt/info.dat and form.php.
In form.php, I have the form code, then when you view it and test it and make something up. I want all the data that was submit to go inside the info.txt file.

If i am not clear, please reply. Thank you

BTW: this is not to phish someone, but this is for my school club website that I am doing.

You'll want to the fread, fwrite commands, this way you can save data into the file, but I'll have a character that seperates each submit like a linebreak or something so when you're parsing it you can seperate it.

This is what I got from the net. Basically, what this do is after you hit submit, it will replace whatever is in the info.dat. What I want is instead of replacing what is in the info.dat, I want to put more

PHP Code:


			
<?

$newcontents="This

is my content"; //

$filename="info.dat";



$fp = fopen ($file_name, "w");





fclose ($fp);



chmod($file_name,0777);



?>

<html>

<head>

<title>File Editor Test</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>File Editor Test</h1>



<?php

$newcontents = $contents;

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { //if submit was pressed

$writefh = fopen($filename, "w"); //File handle for $filename



if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()){

$newcontents=stripslashes($_POST['editcontents']);

} //strips unneeded backspaces by magicquotes

else{

$newcontents = $_POST['editcontents'];

}



//NEXT 3 LINES ARE THE PROBLEM SPOT:

fwrite($writefh, $newcontents, strlen($newcontents)); //Saves changes

rewind($readfh); //resets cursor in file



echo("The changes were saved.<br/>\n");

fclose($writefh);

}

?>

Edit the file here:

<form method="post" action="<? echo($PHP_SELF); ?>">

<textarea name="editcontents" style="width:400px; height:150px;"><? echo($newcontents); ?></textarea>

<br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save Changes" />





</form>

</body>

</html>

Change this

PHP Code:


			
$fp = fopen ($file_name, "w");

to this

PHP Code:


			
$fp = fopen ($file_name, "a+");

There are other things you could use. I suggest you read the manual on whats available.
