Comma Separated Text Files
A client has requested that I make a php app which takes an uploaded image, reads the values and enters them into a database. I've made the upload script which works fine, and the script which enters the values into the database, the only thing left now is how do I make PHP read the file and extract the values? The file is a text file, each field comma separated.

Count The Value Separated Through Explode Function
Currently i'm using an explode function to separate the value from a variable... For Example, $var1='username,user_type,filetoload' $var2=explode(",",$var1); So from here i can extract these 3 values separately... $extract1=$var2[0]; $extract2=$var2[1]; $extract3=$var2[2]; My question is, how do I want to count that this explode function has extracted 3 values? maybe from the variable $var1='username,user_type,filetoload' is it possible that i know $var1 contains 3 values ..?

Parsing Text Files
I have a little brain freeze going here. I can't remember how to do this. I'm trying to parse a text DB file and seperate all information in it so that I can insert them into MySQL as seperate values in seperate fields. for example, 1 | howdy | there That would be three peaces with three different fields in MySQL. I know I've done this before but can't for the life of me figure out how I did it. All I need is somebody to jog my memory and get that little brain of mine weorking again.
Upload Text Files
Its only once you've got loads of content that you start filtering what people see based on their prefferences. To get lots of content you need to get people to upload text files which end up on web pages extending your site.

Uploading Text Files
I'm somewhat new to this whole MySQL/PHP thing and need a little help. My web hosting service uses phpMyAdmin and at the bottom of the screen iis an area where I can upload a text file to populate a table. I have a table named groups with two fields: groups_idauto-increment primary groups_name So how do I create my text file to populate this table? I'm going to use MS Notepad. If it's set to auto-increment, do I need to include the number? If so, does it start at 0 (zero)? Would the file look like: 0,students 1,faculty 2, staff or just students faculty staff (though I can't image that working).

Text Files Into Array
I'm trying to read a text file that has a bunch of names in it into an array so that I can output that array to a comma separated format. My problem is this, I do not know how to make a file go into an array, I've tried the explode function, but all that does is spit out "Resource ID" the format of the file is "1. FirstName LastName" with line breaks so the next line is "2. NewFirstName NewLastName", and so on...

PHP - MySQL - Text Files - Speed
I've got a question that I'm sure is answered somewhere but I haven't run across it yet. I've got a site with a lot of content that's being pulled from a database. Most of the content changes on a very regular basis.. I take it, push it into some templates, and render it to the screen.. pretty standard stuff.. But some of the pages have large blocks of static content. Just as an example, lets take about 50 lines of formatted static HTML. This content doesn't change very often at all. The site is already designed to push through a template, so putting the content into static HTML pages isn't an option. The question is, should I store that content in MySQL or in a text file? I figured that MySQL would be easier on the system. The fetches seem like they would be pretty easy for MySQL to handle, no complex queries. I figured that pulling from a text file would require apache/php to open the file, read the file and then close the file every time someone hit that page. Am I putting unwarrented stress on our database?

Opening All Text Files In A Folder
Im very new to php and need a bit of help. basically what I have is a folder with a number of text files inside. What i need to do is open every text file in that folder and then process the information inside each text file.

Using PHP Offline To Manipulate Text Files
I need to create an application that will do fairly simple text manipulation on 20,000 files in text format (html files). The files exist both on my Windows machine and on a FreeBSD server. I prefer to do the manipulation on my machine where it's easier to create backup copies, recover from programming errors and so on, then upload the files to the server. All I'm doing is extracting certain elements from each file and creating a different file with the same content that will look better. I could do this in FrontPage (or even Notepad) if I didn't have 20,000 files, so I need to write an application that go through each file in a directory, open it, locate the relevant text elements and create a new file that has these text elements in an appropriate format. I'm comfortable that I can write an application like this in PHP, even though I do not have PHP installed on my computer, which is a Windows box and is not being used as a server. Does this make sense? Can I install and use PHP for this purpose without lots of server-related baggage?
Storing Classes In Text Files

Grabbing Text From Files/strings/etc

Full Text Search In PDF And Word Files ?
I need to perform full text searches on a batch of PDF and Word files. What is the best way to go? After some research, I'm thinking of extracting the plain text from the files with "pdftotext" and "catdoc", hamonizing the various possible encodings to UTF-8, storing the text in a MySQL database, and then using the full text search capabilities of MySQL. Do you think that would work well? I am told that the files are mostly text and won't be longer than 30 pages.
Problems W/PHPmyAdmin Inserting Text Files
I have been having some trouble with inserting text files into my MySQL database using PHPmyAdmin. I have used it before with success on other databases.

Editing And Deleting Flat Text Files
I am working on a php news script that uses text files for it's DB. I have most of it done except for the ability to edit or delete the articles in the DB.

Editing Text Files In Form Textareas?
I want to pull text files into a form text area and then edit them. to open the file I am using: $toEdit = fopen ("../content/concept.txt", "r+"); which does not work at all unless I change the path to c:xxxxxxxxxx but I dont want to do that. If I use the hard coded path I get permission denied, if I change the file to read only it seems ok - however, I want to load it into a form textarea? Cant work this out, then I want to save it. Its just to update a simple text schedule. there will be no special characters that need escaping etc. This is probably a pretty basic question but I have been asked to do this ASAP and my attempts so far have just confused me!
How To Change A Script Using Text Files To One Using MySQL?
I'm making a website for guitar effects and tabs, and I'm putting a system to let people rate an effect out of 5. I found this script in an online PHP library site, but I'd like to change it from using text files to using my database. I can either just add a field to each tab, "rating", or, if needs be, create an entire new table, "ratings", and link individual ratings to the tab in question with a tab_id field. Code:
Scalability Of Perl Cgi Programs That Load Text Files
Suppose you have a perl program that is called by a web page to generate another web page. The program is written to load data from a text file on the server and make certain substitutions in the loaded text prior to the output of html. If one user is on the site, it should not be a problem. If many users try to access it nearly simultaneously, will it be a problem? example:
Dynamically Genetrate RAM (Real Media) Text Files
I am working on a record company's site. They offer a selection of track snippets for stream/download. I would like to be able to dynamically generate the RAM (text File) to save manual input in the DB. Currently each RAM file has to be uploaded everytime a new track is added....but I'd like to have this created on the fly when a user is browsing the site. user selects track...is forwarded to the dynamically generated RAM file...which in turn selects the appropriate media. I can't think how i'd get this to work as I am trying to create a text file that is parsed rather than a peice of HTML that is read by a user. Perhaps on the server I'd have to add PHP Parsing to the RAM mime type?
Comma Seperator
I have numbers retrieved from database which is quite big. Is it possible to give a comma seperator in the sql query or otherwise how can I format with a thousand comma separator?
Deleting Last Comma
The code below displays pet names like so: Fido, Bowser, Kittycat, Spot, and I want to delete only the last comma. I tried 'substr' and 'rtrim' and both of those delete the space and comma between each name, not just the last name as I'd like, so I end up with: Fido,Bowser,Kittycat,Spot, How would I delete only the last comma, so that it is this instead? Fido, Bowser, Kittycat, Spot Even with trim and substr, I end up with:
Seperating An Array With A Comma
I'm trying to seperate the output of an array with a comma. I can't figure out how to eliminate the last comma. Here is my code: $result = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die (mysql_error()); $fw = fopen("/var/www/html/ecast/windex/graph.html","w"); fwrite($fw, "/ "); if ($new_rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ do{ fwrite($fw, $new_rows[0]); fwrite($fw, ", "); }while($new_rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)); } fwrite($fw, " /"); fclose($fw); ?> Output: / 85, 86, 87, 89, / How can I eliminate that last comma?
Removing A Comma From The End Of An Array
I am reading a file into an array using this: $listFile = "add2db.txt"; if (!($fp = fopen($listFile, "r"))) exit("Unable to open the input file, $listFile."); $buffer = fread($fp, filesize($listFile)); fclose($fp); The very last character in that $listFile will always be a comma. What I need to do is remove that last comma (and only that comma) from $buffer before I can continue on. What do I need to do to accomplish this?
Comma Delimited File
I am trying to read comma delimited rows of text. The problem is that some fields may be encapsulated in "" - particularly the text fields but not numeric fields. Is there a simple efficient way to parse the fields with comma but also strip off the "" encapsulating some of the fields with php? The problem is the "" encapsulation is optional. Some fields will have it, some won't.
How To Instert Comma Into Number?
I am having users submit large numbers into a form, and when those values are returned to them later I want to have the commas in the correct places. ie. 123456.00 changes to 123,456.00. Is there a function that does this conversion? Also, how would I ensure that the number is always displayed with 2 decimal places, ie. 123 changes to 123.00, but 123.00 remains 123.00.
