Read And Display Japanese Text From Text File
I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script. Method : I wrote a simple kanji text file (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I wrote a simple PHP script to display the file contents (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I specified the content-type header for the HTML page : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> *** All files have the same encoding. *** UTF-8 supports japanese characters. and it works! this is my PHP (and HTML) script : <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>PHP : Japanese Text File Read : Exercise 1</title> </head> <body> <?php $filename="japanese.txt"; //open file $fp = fopen($filename,'r'); //loop through each line in the file while($line=fgets($fp)) { //output current text file line print $line."<br>"; } //close file handle fclose($fp); ?> </body> </html> I know it's a very simple script, for testing purposes only. It displays the contents of the japanese text file line by line. The key was to save all files in the same encoding (I used UTF-8) and to specify the encoding / charset in the HTML header (<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">)
Remove Text Header In Text File
I have been having trouble removeing two header lines at the top of my txt file. You will see in my code the different things I have tried but with no luck. Below I posted my script and data.

Text Box To .txt File
does anyone know how to make a text box in php that when submitted, it writes to a .txt file?
Text File Display
I have a number of SQL reports that create standard 132 column text files. The user wishes to view these files in a browser in addition to their daily printing on a laser printer. I can handle directory structure, etc with PHP but I would like to know what is the best way of displaying these text files on screen. We can select them but they are very plain. Is there a TXT2HTML ot TXT2XML type tool that can display headings, bolding, etc without too much difficulty. I would rather not reprogram the reports as there are hundreds of them, and embedding HTML would not be an answer as they need to be printed on a regular laser.
Saving To A Text File.
I haven't been able to find a way to save the results of a MYsql query into a tab delimited text file... Anyone know how to do this, or if there are any already written scripts out there that perform this, or a similar function?
Database Row To Text File
I need to get the contents of a MySQL database field into a text file, and write the file to the server. I can not seem to get any filesystem functions to work, because it tells me I do not have permission to do anything. I am on virtual hosting, so it seems easier for me to try to FTP files to my own server. Perhaps you guys can give me some pointers, this is kind of the idea I am running on:
Writing To A Text File

Text File Into Variable
I'm setting up an script that will send mail to an address given by a user. The problem is that the body of the e-mail varies depending on a few responses that the person gives, and writing out like 1000 lines of code just to get each of the outcomes covered is not my idea of fun. My question is, is there any way to make a variable in PHP the contents of a .txt file so I don't have to have that big of a script?

Form To Text File
I don't know anything about PHP, ASP, CGI, all I can do is use Microsoft FrontPage to edit html. But I have been searching the internet for a script (any laguage) that can send an html form to a text file. But I need the new data to replace existing data in the text file every time I submit new information. Is this possible in PHP or any other language? I’m hosted on a UNIX server with php installed and I have access to my cgi-bin and all I need is this little script to complete my website.
Str_replace From Text File

Text File Instead Of Database?
Does anyone know a script that I can use to manage members of my website (preferably with a control panel-type interface) but without using a database? I read on hotscripts.com of one that uses text files instead, but the link says that the site is no longer offering that file. If someone could help me it would be great, as I know nothing about scripting. By control panel, I mean a page that I can go to on my site (not open to the public) that I can use to Admin the users. I would like it to go something like this: (this is what was offered at hotscripts.com) New Members Username: New Members Password: New Members Name: New Members E-Mail Address: And optionally (I don't really need it, but if its possible, hey why not) a place for me to put in an admin username and pass to get into the page mentioned above. I would also like to be able to implement this script on my main page (see here for what I mean.
Exploding Text File....
I want to put a text file into a form field, and then submit it to a page that will split up the text file on two criteria and then loop through each split result inserting new db records. A sample text file would be: question 1;option1;option2l;option3 question 2;option1;option2l;option3 question 3;option1;option2l;option3 I need to split it on blank lines and then again on the options so that my insert would be insert questionname, option1, option 2....into questions. Can someone help please. I know I can use explode, but unless I am missing something then its just not working for me.
Exporting From Db To Text File
I have the following sql statement that works from phpmyadmin and from the MySQL command line, but not php. The resultant $sql variable is the following: $sql=select logrecno, county, sumlev into outfile "/tmp/census.txt" fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by "" from sf1_msageo where sf1_msageo.county=97 and sf1_msageo.sumlev=140 $result=mysql_query($sql); The query executes, returns no messages, and does not create a file. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
Get Date From Text/php-file
I'm new to PHP, and i want to create a pop-up (on page load) on certain dates.. What i have is the script for the pop-up: <body scroll="auto" <?php $today =date("d-F"); if ($today==$datum) {echo "onLoad=".$g_birthday_pop;}?>> The pop-script = $g_birthday_pop = <<<EOT "MM_openBrWindow('http://www.nu.nl','popup','width=300,height=300')" EOT; $datum is in another file (include/datum.php): <?php $datum= "30-December"; ?> And this works if the date is 30th of December, but i want it too on other dates that you put in $datum Something like: <?php $datum= "30-December";"10-March"; ?> So i want to control the pop-up just by editing the "datum.php"-file
Comparing A Text File
I was wondering if this is possible: Compare a row from a table to a row from a text file, and if that row is not in that text file, then delete it from that table, and move it to another one. Say for example I read in a text file and assign the following variables: PHP Code:
Search A Text File
I have a text file that each line is an array, I think. I looks like this name | id | # | # | # | total name | id | # | # | # | total and so on... I would like to seach the file by "id" and only display the line with the particular "id". I also think that the bit size of each line will change from line to line, so I don't think that I can put in a static number to search to the end of. I thought about using fseek(), is that the best way to go.
Php Generate Text File
I have been trying for the past 3-4 days now to get flash to write into a text file for me. Basically I made a rating script on flash and then I made another php file that counted the top 10. I want to get the info from the top 10 to a text file but I've been stuck for a while now. I read php.net for the commands, kessler's tutorial, but I'm just missing something. I posted the top 10 script that works and the other that doesn't work when I try to text can someone please tell me what I'm messing up on? PHP Code:
Get Date From Text/php-file
I got it going. Now i have another question; Is there a way to link a date to a persons name, so i can get the pop-up, and the pop-up then automatically grabs the right name, and displays it?
Text File Behavior
I have a question about the behavior of a text file thats being written and read to. Say Im using an XML file as the database for my little application. Users come to my site and the file is read and parsed and coverted to some display in html. On another page users can add information that updates this XML file. Is there any risk in this approach? While the XML file is being written to, what is its readabililty? And vise-versa. Assuming Im using the standard read write functions for files in PHP, will the read wait for a write to finish, etc.
Edit Text In A Txt File
here is the php code! i am trying to use to 'edit' hyperlink to edit txt in member.txt. Problem is that it reads the values ok into an array, however when i attempt and update new values into the file, i get no results. Does anybody know where i am going wrong???? <? session_start(); // Set updated content for user if(!isset($_POST[Submit])) { // read content from file and place into array, this is used to put initial content into form $fc=file("../username/member.txt"); $userid_no = $_GET['record_id']; $line = split("|",$fc[$userid_no]); $user_id = $line[0]; $password = $line[1]; $firstname = $line[2]; $lastname = $line[3]; $email = $line[4]; } else { if(isset($_GET['record_id'])) { // build record into string from post values $update = $_POST['user_id']; $update .= "|"; $update .= $_POST['password']; $update .= "|"; $update .= $_POST['lastname']; $update .= "|"; $update .= $_POST['firstname']; $update .= "|"; $update .= $_POST['email']; $update .= "|"; $update .= ""; $update .= "|"; $update .= "2";
Write To Text File
I have a form which takes user input. On submit, the form will run a php script that will create a new text file using the user input. I want this text file to popup or open in a new page. The problem is that when the page opens it still shows the old text file, i need to hit refresh for it to show the last user input. the html file (greatly simplified): <html><head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Title: <input type="text" name="Title" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p> </form> </body> </html> The php file (simplified as well): <?php $spot_code = $_POST['Title']; // Open the file and erase the contents if any $fp = fopen("myfile.3dml", "w"); fwrite($fp, "<TITLE NAME=" . '"'. $spot_code .'"'. " /> "); fclose($fp); //redirect header( 'Location: http://localhost/mytest/myfile.html' ); ?> the text file, myfile.3dml is embedded in myfile.html (it requires a plugin to view - it's a 3D world). When myfile.html is opened it displays myfile.3dml but it needs to be refreshed to show the current input.
Searching A Text File
I want to be able to search for text in a text file. For example if there was this in a text file: php1:mysql1 php2:mysql2 php3:mysql3 php4:mysql4 apple:orange php5:mysql5 php6:mysql6 php7:mysql7 php8:mysql8 php9:mysql9 I want to be able to search for the word "apple" and then echo what is next to it, which would be "orange". How would I go about doing this? Also, if I were to search through these files in php daily with a lot of people searching through them, would my text files become corrupt?
Parsing Text File
I'm working with a text file that contains the names of websites and their corresponding URLs in the following fashion: <a href="www.cnn.com">CNN News</a> Each site and title is separated by line breaks. I'm not very experienced with fopen, fread, etc. and was wondering if anyone could give me pointers on how to go about reading the text file line by line and saving the URL and title in separate columns in a database. Oh, and one more thing. The categories of these sites are also included every so often. I was hoping to save the category in a third field. Ex: News ( new line here) <a href="www.cnn.com">CNN News</a> () <a href="www.bbc.com">BBC News </a> etc.
Trying To Modify A Text File.
What I need to do is to look at each line in the text file, find the userid that an administrator inputs into a form, and delete that line so that a new line can be appended with updated info. Or, if anyone knows of an easier way to modify info on a certain line in a text file, I'm all ears.

New Line In Text File
I'm trying to create a text file in php to generate a playlist. The problem is that I cannot manage to create a new line in the text file. Using /n still places text in the same line and just inserts a symbol to indicate the 'new line'. Using just works when viewing the document in HTML (which is not what i need in this case). But what I want is to physically insert a new line in the text file so that when i open the generated file using notepad i see that there are actually new lines in the document and so that the playlist can be read normally with a music player.
Updating A Text File
I am currently building a PHP app, and some of the configuration is stored in a 'config.php' file which is created during the install. After install I would like for the users to update these values separately. for example: line 5 of config.php is: $language = 'english'; and this may need updating from the admin screen (using results from a drop down list of languages), without touching the rest of the file. Is there any way to locate and update a single line of the config file in my php script?

Writing To A Text File On Another Server
I've a form on one server, which posts its contents to a PHP script that tries to write one of the fields to a text file on another server. When testing this, when I try to write to a text file on the SAME server, everything's fine, it writes successfully. However, it doesn't work when trying to write to a remote file, and doesn't even throw up any errors. Here's the code: $fp = fopen( "http://server.server.com/server/textfile.txt", "a" ) or die ("Couldn't open"); flock( $fp, 2 ); // exclusive lock fwrite( $fp, "$email " ) or die ("Couldn't write"); flock( $fp, 1 ); // release the lock fclose( $fp ); Does anyone know why it's not working?!? Please help me!!!

Format Text File After Fopen
I use “fopen” to access the text file (this is working fine). Then I want to format the results. I tried “fgets” but there is a “return” after each entry in the text file. "fgets" thinks this is a new record and puts the data on the next line. How can I bypass the "returns" and use the file as is. Example of the text file: Sold_To_Name............: XXXX XXXX Ship_To_Name............: ZZZZZZZZZ Sold_To_Address.........: XXXX XXXX Ship_To_Address.........: ZZZZZZZZZ Sold_To_City............: XXXXX Ship_To_City............: ZZZZZZZ Sold_To_State...........: XX Sold_To_Zip.............: XXXXX Ship_To_State...........: ZZ Ship_To_Zip.............: ZZZZZ Sold_To_Phone_Number....: XXXXXXXXXX Ship_To_Phone_Number....: ZZZZZZZZZZ This is how I would like to format text: Sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XXX-XXX-XXXX Ship to ZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZ ZZ ZZZZZ ZZZ-ZZZ-ZZZZ This my current programing:

Making A Text File Value Into A Variable
I have a text file called data.txt that has one line of data with a number in it e.g. 500, basically i need a code that will read the first line of data.txt and store it as a variable e.g. $data = data and + 1 to the actual data.txt file. so this way the data.txt becomes 501 but the variable for the user is 500. Its just like a counter.
Editing Text File With A PHP Form

Does anyone know how to split up a text file by a key word in a while loop? I have a 300k file that has 350 office names and each time I get to a new office name, i want to insert all of the text into a mysql column/table. I receive a report every morning with the status of 350 different offices and would like to email each office their status. I have used different varaiations of explode(), split(),fopen(), file(), fseek(), exec(), array(), fread(), join(), and a few others, and i can not seem to get it right.

Question Re Writing To A Text File
I am attempting to code a small script to process the fields from a form and write it to a text file using the semi-colon as the delimiter. So far I am successful in doing that using the following: $incoming_fields = array_keys($_POST); $incoming_values = array_values($_POST); for ($i = 0; $i < count($incoming_fields); $i++) { $fp = fopen("formresults.txt", "a"); fwrite($fp,stripslashes("$incoming_values[$i];")); fclose($fp); } But what I am encountering difficulty in is putting a line break ( ) at the end of only the final entry so that the data from each form submission is on a separate line.
Cant Write To A Text File On Godaddy!
i even created a file with all the permissions and plopped it on the server and its still not writable. anyone have this issues? and how did you get around it?
Form Post To Text File
I have a form that posts to my php file which in turn writes to a text file. The way I'm doing is probably far from efficient or the right way, but it's the first thing i've ever written and I have to get it done. The way it writes now is it just puts all the form input next to each other in a text file. I want each field to be delimited or on new line so I can read it easily. Here's a snippet of my code: <?php> $filename = 'orders.txt' $fp = fopen($filename, "a"); $string4 = $_POST["email"]; $string5 = $_POST["street1"]; $string6 = $_POST["street2"]; $write = fputs($fp, $string4); $write = fputs($fp, $string5); $write = fputs($fp, $string6); fclose($fp);?>
