A little help??

Ok this has nothing to do with VB but i figured with all the smart people here someone may be able to help me.

I have a text file on my server that I would like to be able to edit online via a form. This is so i don;t have to download it, update the file, then reupload it.

Does anyone have anyclue how i can do this?

Thanks!

Ryan :pirate:

The only FTP Client which i've discovered that can use this is FlashFXP, right click on the file, then edit, edit it on your server :P

FTP Voyager can also achieve the above.. :)

There's an option built in to cPanel IIRC which allows you to edit files via a form on the File Manager..

You can do this with Confixx' WebFTP aswell :)

I understand I can do this with a FTP proggie BUT i would like to do a form directly in the html that i can load and edit the file from.

Is this possable?

It's possible using vBulletin templates, I guess...

Or you could use MySQL for this, ofcourse.

Sorry but also FlashFXP can't do this, simply because th FTP standard have no commands making this possible. What FlashFXP does (and a lot of others, like the free FlashFXP clone UltraFXP) is download the file to a local file, let you edit it, and then reupload it.

He wants to do it without a program, he wants to edit it like templates.

Let's write a quick script then :):

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



$filepath = 'test.txt';

$password = 'Dean_is_cool';



if(empty($_POST['do']))

{

    $handle = fopen($filepath, 'r');

    while(!feof($handle))

    {

           $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);

           $contents .= $buffer;;

       }

    fclose($handle);

    echo '<form action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '" method="post">';

    echo '<input type="hidden" name="do" value="send" />';

    echo 'Contents<br />';

    echo '<textarea name="contents" rows="20" cols="70">' . $contents . '</textarea>';

    echo '<br /><br />Password: <input type="password" name="pswd" value="" /><br /><br />';

    echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />';

    echo '</form>';

}

else

{

    $contents = $_POST['contents'];

    $pswd = $_POST['pswd'];



    if($password == $pswd)

    {

        $handle = fopen($filepath, 'w');

        if(fwrite($handle, $contents) === FALSE)

        {

            echo 'File could not be written';

            exit;

        }

        fclose($handle);

        echo 'All done';    

    }

    else

    {

        echo 'Wrong password';

    }

}

    



?>

Ryan

Well it works BUT. . . when it saves the text file the url's show up as:

<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.myurl.com\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.myurl.com/test/ad.gif\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\"></a></p>

Can I ahve it so id doesnot save the "\"

Thanks!

And every time i save it another / is added:

<a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http://www..myurl.com\\\"><img border=\\\"0\\\" src=\\\"http://www.myurl.com/test/ads.gif\\\" width=\\\"468\\\" height=\\\"60\\\"></a></p>

Urgh you have magicquotes turned on. Use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);



function stripslashes_deep($value)

{

    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);

    return $value;

}



if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())

{

    $_GET = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_GET);

    $_REQUEST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_REQUEST);

    $_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);

    $_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_COOKIE);

}



$filepath = 'test.txt';

$password = 'Dean_is_cool';



if(empty($_POST['do']))

{

    $handle = fopen($filepath, 'r');

    while(!feof($handle))

    {

           $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);

           $contents .= $buffer;;

       }

    fclose($handle);

    echo '<form action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '" method="post">';

    echo '<input type="hidden" name="do" value="send" />';

    echo 'Contents<br />';

    echo '<textarea name="contents" rows="20" cols="70">' . $contents . '</textarea>';

    echo '<br /><br />Password: <input type="password" name="pswd" value="" /><br /><br />';

    echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />';

    echo '</form>';

}

else

{

    $contents = $_POST['contents'];

    $pswd = $_POST['pswd'];



    if($password == $pswd)

    {

        $handle = fopen($filepath, 'w');

        if(fwrite($handle, $contents) === FALSE)

        {

            echo 'File could not be written';

            exit;

        }

        fclose($handle);

        echo 'All done';    

    }

    else

    {

        echo 'Wrong password';

    }

}
