Need To Create Drop Down Box With Data Pulled From Text File
Trying to make a drop down box like this example: Dog Cat Bird But sometimes I will need to update it...and add/remove names from the list. I want to do it fast and easy and I don't want to use a MySQL Database. I'd rather use a text file...can that be done? I would keep the info in a text file and then push it to a drop down box via php and html.
Suggestion Needed On Data Storage Format In Text File
The project I am developing doesn't involves database. I want to parse the mailbox file (.mbx) and store the summary in the text file for fast retrieval and display of information in the Inbox page. The sugegsted format are as: #1 ID [4 bytes]: Subject [100 bytes]: To Address[100 bytes]: From Address[100 bytes]...etc... #2 Instead of preassining fixed size to variable (as actual data may be much less or can grew to more), we can store the values continuously, seperated by some unique seperator (#|#, *#*, ...) 1324#|#Hi, How are you#|#me@google.com#|#you@google.com#|# ... and so on Which of these will be the efficeint one (as there will be frequent insert/delete/update of the individual information, eg. set message as read ..., delete message ..., new message ...) Also please suggest on how to determine the variable size (100 bytes as in #1), and assign the size to the variable accordingly and read it (differentiate multiple variables) when required.
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">)

Changing Data In Text Files
Is there an easy way in which I can edit values in a text configuration file? I am creating a form based interface to administrate a few text based config files. I can get the values from the file by parsing it line by line, but I cannot find an efficient way to edit data based on changes submitted in the php form.

Text Data Containing HTML Tags?
I am working on a content system. But cannot seem to figure out how to display text that has html formatting tags included. I use a form and the TEXTAREA to have users submit text. I save it to a MySQL db. I want the user to be able to use html tags such as <B></B>, but when I display what was saved, the HTML tags do not function. I have read about addslashes(), and removeslashes(), but am not sure I fully understand them. Should I be trying these?
Varifying Forms Text Data Help Needed
I bought the PHP and MySQL For Dummies book and I'm having trouble understanding how I use PHP to verify and check forms input text data - the book shows snippets of code so I know how to do the actual check but I don't understand what web page the php checking code should go into? For example, I have a simple login web page (username and password) and then it calls my mainmenu php web page - I want to make a check that a username was actually typed in *before* calling the mainmenu php page - I also know that I can do this check using javascript but I'd like to stay in php if I can - how can I make the check and stay on this login form before calling the mainmenu page?

I have a few different things but can't seem to figure this out.
Remembering Text Box (pulls Data From Database)
I have a text box that i want users to enter in data. If the data, however, is matching data in the database then how can I have the data show up so the user can select a entry that has already been put in. Example: In my database i have 3 entries, Jims Collision Jakes Paint and Body Sams Auto Now when the user goes to enter data into the text box it will bring all entries up. If he enters a "J" for his first character input then Jims Collision Jakes Paint and Body will show up underneath the textbox only. And if they enter a "S" only Sams Auto will show up underneath the text box. Google has this on their search engine stuff. How does it know what i last searched. Also, Quick books has this as well if you go under "Write a Check". I hope this is enough info, if not let me know.
How To Populate Data Into Text Fields On Page Load??

MySQL 5.0, FULL-TEXT Indexing And Search Arabic Data, Unicode
MySQL 4.0, FULL-TEXT Indexing and Search Arabic Data, Unicode [This version has a couple subtle edits from the orginial I posted on mailing.database.myodbc - I'm cross posting here on this topic/subject related newsgroup] I was wondering if anybody has experienced the same issues challenges I'm experiencing I'll describe shortly. Once resolved some fascinating and powerful multi-lingual apps incorporating non-English/latin character sets can be realized by many developers. I have a Unicode utf8 English - Arabic - Hebrew - Greek (and several other languages) database in Microsoft Excel. I KNOW that it is Unicode utf8 data because MySQL tells me it recognizes the encoding as such but not in the context I want. Allow me to explain ... I can search the Unicode utf8 encoding with no problem in Excel. While in Excel I highlight a complete word or a partial string of an Arabic word copy it to the clipboard (i.e. memory). I then do a find and the process is the same successful result as if it was an English string. MySQL 5.0 is supposed to handle Unicode utf8 I created a MySQL database I named: languages CREATE DATABASE languages ; and I implemented the following command on a MySQL command prompt: ALTER DATABASE languages DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8; No problem (so far) MySQL seemingly recognized utf8 and accepted it. My understanding is with the ALTER command the tables I create against languages will be utf8. I now created a table I named mainlang which denotes it will be the main table for my languages. mysql>CREATE TABLE mainlang ->( ->langNumID varchar(30), ->colB varchar(30), ->colC varchar(30), ->primary key (langNumID, colB) ->); Again so far no problem: Table successfully created. My third column 'colC' is where the Unicode data will be stored. I now attempt to import the database from my Excel file into my MySQL database as follows: mysql>load data infile 'c:arabicdictionary.csv' ->into table mainlang ->fields terminated by ',' ->lines terminated by ' ' ->(langNumID, colB, colC); ERROR 1406 (22001): Data too long for 'colC' at row 1 So what to do? I did a search and found other people seemingly had the same problem and someone suggested: ALTER DATABASE languages DEFAULT CHARACTER SET cp1250; I dropped mainlang, recreated it, redid the load and Lo and behold ... it seemed to work. No Data too long error occurred and when I did the following query: mysql>select langNumID, colB, colC ->from mainlang ->where colB = ��' I see colA have a correct numeric value, colB a correct numeric value (4994) and for colC a string of unintelligible characters with diacritical marks, oomlats etc. which I know is the cp1250 encoding interpretation of the Unicode utf8 data which is similarly unintelligible in its own regard. Now what I try is: do a copy of the obscure colC cp1250 character string into the clipboard/memory and then do the following tweak on the original select statement to see if I can search on the (now) cp1250 character string: mysql>select langNumID, colB, colC ->from mainlang ->where colc = 'paste of the cp1250 character string' The computer would not allow a paste unless I pressed the escape key. On initiating this select command I got an empty set (no match) My questions are: Has anyone been successful creating a Unicode utf8 MySQL database that accepts Arabic? If yes, how did you get around or not encounter the Data too long issue? Have you tried the cp1250 (or cp1251 - same mechanics same results) work around as I have? Are you able to search the cp1250 character string (my colC)? If yes, how did you successfully manage to do it? Lastly, if I take the cp1250 encoded string and paste it into Excel ... I can string search the cp1250 encoding with no problem. Also, here's how I know my Unicode utf-8 data is correct apart from my own manual cross-referencing and being recognized by MySQL in some respect: When I copy the Unicode utf8 encoding and try to paste it into the select command to see what would happen I get the following error: ERROR 1257 (HY000): Illegal mix of collations (cp1250_general_ci, IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci, COERCIBLE) for operation '=' So what I have here is a situation where MySQL is recognizing Unicode utf8 encoding but not from the respect of packing a table! Go Figure ...
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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.
