PHP :: Creating .m3u Files Dynamically

Creating Queries Dynamically
I've been struggling with a problem for a while and I think that the solution lies in the ability to create queries dynamically. On one page I have a number of drop-down menus created dynamically, so the number of menus can vary. Each drop-down represents a try/touchdown scored, and the user would select from the menu who scored it. On the next page I want to take the info entered and send it to the database, automatically creating new entries for each try/touchdown scored. Code:

Dynamically Creating An Image With Imagecreate()
I have a multitude of images that I am trying to bring up dynamically depending on the scenario. These images are different sizes.
To complicare things just a little more, I am rewriting a javaScript. Am I heading into the correct direction?

Here is the original JS that I am attempting to rewrite: (This is most of the way translated to PHP)

Dynamically Creating URLS Based On User Input !
I am looking to create pages on the fly or dynamically based on user input. For example if i have www.example.com and they visit this and enter 'bob' in a textfield and press submit they create www.example.com/bob.html . How would I go about this ? I am guessing I need to create a folder when submit is pressed in my website directory ?

Creating Dir, Copy Files And Pass Variables To 2 Files
I need to create a folder on the server weekly named by the user. To this folder copy the contents of an /Original folder. Inside the new folder edit one of the files to insert a data with a XML path generated in another application, copied (via memory) and pasted within the very first form and passed to the file in question.

<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlfile= $lanofile" />

the $lanofile is the value that I need to pass from the form to be read by this file.
I have created an form (n.php) that POST the name of the folder to a second file (creatdir.php) everything is cool until I have to edit the third file.

How can I pass the value of one of the formfileds to a second file and them read this value as a variable to be consumed as mentioned above? Or actually right whatever is on the third field to this position (not using variables).

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?

Dynamically Populate Drop-down List And Dynamically Include Html File
We have a drop down list on a PHP page, with several product names, and
when people click one item, we will refresh the same page with the
product name as parameter, and in turn we want to include a HTML file
into the content area of the same page.

I know it is recommended to put everything into database, but we want
the web site to be very "portable", so the drop-downlist and the
content should both in text files.

Let's say the drop-down list will be poplulated from the product.txt
file, and there will be a file for each corresponding item in the
drop-down list. From the user point of view, if he wants to add a new
product, he will just need to open the product.txt file, and add a new
line with the product name, "Laptop", then add a new text file named
"laptop" in the same folder which contains the HTML fragment to be
included in the content area.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Creating Files
I was wondering, if/how do you create a file with PHP, Im making a "network" for my site with PHP, and ran across this problem.

Creating Files
Is there a way to create files such as config.ini thoruhg a form. so they put in all the stuff they want and press submit and then the file is created with their settings in it.

Creating Files
I am rather new to PHP and a relative newbie to Linux too.
I have a webserver at home (Apache 2.0.48 on SuSe 9.0, PHP4).
I have some scripts, one of them needs to be able to create logfiles
somewhere on my machine. It must also later be able to read from and write
to these files again.

Sofar I get a permission error. I tried chmodding 666 or 777 the directory
in which the files could reside, to no avail.
How do I set up the permissions so that my script can simply fopen a file
for writing. Or if that's not the issue, what am I doing wrong or
overlooking ?

The errors:
Warning: fopen(logfileslog1.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied
in script1.php on line 142
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
script1.php on line 154
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
script1.php on line 161
It's the first I am puzzled about, the 2nd and 3rd are a logical
consequence.

By the way, reading from and writing to a file I have previously created
myself with exactly the names I tried to get created by the script (echoed
the name, ok) is no problem at all.
So I don't think it has much to do with a safemode or open_basedir setting.
I also tried creating the scripts in the same dir the script itself resides.
Did not work either.

Creating Files
I am currently creating a file manager to add/edit/delete files and folders, etc but i was wondering if there is a function in PHP to create files such as a php file or txt file? All i want is a function that will allow you to create a file from the name you give! Is this possible? I have seen a script called Genesis but the problem is that it is Perl! and i dont have a clue about Perl!

Creating Exe From Php Files
I know for a fact that is possible but can not figure it out, how can I get my application to an exe stand alone file?

Creating And Saving Files With PHP
Hi, hope someone has some ideas !. Is there a way to use PHP and Mysql(if needed) in the following way: Lets say I used a script that when a person enters their birthday info, this script produces an onscreen report (like horoscope), how could this browser screen be saved as a file(html or other) so I could then include it into the body of an email or attach!.

Creating Csv Files From Scratch
I have a db containing customer information (ie. address, phone number, email). My client wants the ability to print mailers from the db. The idea is that the client will run searches on the db, and the search results will be dumped into a file which the client will download. The client will then give that file to their printer, to print the mailers.

The printer wants the file in csv format but I'm having trouble finding good info on creating csv files from scratch. Obviously part of the script will output the fields separated by a semi-colon, or some other delimiter, but I'm confused about how to define those fields. Does this make sense?

PHP Scripts And Creating Files
I have a PHP script that attempts to create a temporary file to be used
during processing. The script is owned by my username (bryanrme) on
the server. When the script attempts to create the temporary file, I
get a "failed to open stream: Permission denied" error. The
permissions on my directory are set to 755. When I set the permissions
to 757, the creation of the file is successful. In this case, I notice
that the script spawns a temporary file owned by a user named "99".

Is there any way to avoid this? I'd prefer not to leave my directory
set at 757, but is there any workaround for this? I checked my server
configuration and safe mode is not enabled. Any suggestions? I would
prefer that the script handle the creation, usage, and disposable of
the temporary file.

Creating Files Remotely
I'm trying to do here is write 2 files simultaneously to both the local server and a remote server on which I have write access. In the process, however, I was stuck at how to create the file initially on the remote server. I tried using touch() which works well locally to create a blank file, but I get an error:

Warning: unable to create file http://198.78.114.67/news/tech/20010718-1820.dat because No such file or directory in /home/httpd/html/makepost.php

well, I take it touch() only works locally, so, any idea guys?

Creating Text Files On The Fly
What I want to do is allow a logged in user to download a text file version of the list they are viewing on the screen. So if they are viewing the Paid list of users, there should be a button on that same page that says Download To Text File, and when clicked, the user is prompted to download a text file version of the list.

Creating Text Files..
I want to set my access rules to 0777 so that I can delete the text file via script if I need to. I already set the folder to 0777 when I created it.. now I just need the text files. How would I set the access to 0777 when I create the file? This is what I have right now...

$text= "this is text.";
$fileName = "examplefolder1/example.txt;
$handle = fopen($fileName, 'w');
fwrite($handle, $text);
fclose($handle);

Is there some way to do it in that statement?

Creating And Deleting Folders And Files
Hi to Everyone.

After creating trought http a organize number of files and folders. I'm not able to delete them, not even trought an FTP Software like Cute FTP. It replies "Could not delete xxxxx.html".

Strategy For Creating Files And Then Cleaning Up
I'm using PHP 4.3. There is a section of my application in which I'd
like users to be able to download a custom file. The file would be
different for each user, so I was planning on creating it on the fly
when they click "Download". However, I would like to delete the file
from the server a certain period of time after they've downloaded it.
(It's a 3 or 4K file). How can I do this?

Creating Files Using Fopen That Are Unlocked!
i'm trying to setup my website to create new webpages dynamically using
php but I am have a major problem in that whenever i create a file it
is always created locked so that it can only be read even when i
specify read and write access.

Here is a basic example of the code I am using (I am using a Mac OSX
10.3.9):

<?php

$filename = '/Users/myusername/sites/mysitefolder/newfile.php'
$mytext = 'my text'

fopen($filename, 'w+');
fwrite($filename, $mytext);
fclose($filename);

?>

When i run this program all it does is create a blank file with
read-only access. My question is what settings do I need to change that
will enable me to create writable files using PHP?

Creating Download Manager For Multiple Files
Has anyone run across some sort of download manager to be able to download multiple files at a time via http with PHP? I run a mp3 site and I would like to be able to allow people to download whole folders at a time basically the same functionality as ftp but with http. It would be kind of like the smart download thing that netscape has but cross platform compatible. Any ideas?

Creating .xls And .doc Files With Page Breaks Using PHP / MySQL
Our company currently processes a few hundred form submissions through
our site. Up till now, the contents of the form has been sent to our
customer support staff in real-time. Each submission goes to a general
e-mail box where it's printed through our mail client. A copy of the
form is also stored in a MySQL db, although it's not used that often.

I have been asked to figure out a way to stop delivering the form
submissions in real-time and migrate to the following:

Each morning, provide an Excel spreadsheet and word document (or PDF)
with a certain number of form submissions to each customer support
rep. For example, say 200 form submissions were processed the day
before. This morning, I should split those 200 among the 5 support
reps and provide each of them a certain amount (which can change
daily). Assuming each person gets 40 form submissions, each person
would need to be given an excel file and .doc document that contains
their 40 form submissions.

One of the most important things is that the .doc file needs to have
each form submission separated by a page break, so that when they
print the document each form submission is printed on a separate page.

Finally, not all of the fields from the form submission should be
given to the support rep. Maybe date and time is left off.

Creating Files From An Array Using Fopen And Fwrite
I can make a script that works fine for creating files on a single row, but I can't get it to create the content of an entire array. Code:

How To Dynamically Name Variables?
Lets say I have variables named: name1, name2, name3, and name4. How can I call them without having to name them everytime. Something like

for ($i=1; $i<=20; $i++){
if $"name".$i {
do this }

I've tried everycombination I can think of, but am totally confused. I had no trouble naming the variables dynamically in a form, but I can't get php to call them dynamically.

PHP To Dynamically Generate XML
I am interesting in using PHP to dynamically create an XML document and
then use XSLT to transform to XHTML. I have come across two methods for
doing this. I made two equivalent examples so you can see what I mean.

http://members.shaw.ca/petermichaux...SLT_method.html

I am interested in critisim of how I implemented each method. However
my main problem is deciding between methods. Which method is better for
bigger programs where the bits of the XML data are assembled by various
php functions that I write?

For example, one php function queries a database table for a list of CD
titles. A second php function loops through this CD title list and gets
the track listing for each CD from another table in the database. Then
the composite XML data (ie. CD title and tracks as nodes) can be
tranformed to XHTML.

Dynamically Naming Variables
i have this script for that uses 7 pulldowns for the time of an event each day of the week that gets inserted in to a db. Instead of writing the script 7 times for taking the data from the pulldowns, creating a time based on the hour, minute and AM/PM -can i create something that dynamically creates varibles. Basically takes something like $hour1, $minute1 and automatically creates $hour2, $minute2 and so on. This is kinda difficult to explain, heres a snippit of code which i want to duplicate.

Dynamically Incrementing Arrays
I tried searching for this, but couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

Dynamically Resizing An Image
I want to create a thumbnail image. But I don't want to physically resize each
image before uploading it (actually, my client doesn't really have the capability).

Can I dictate a height (i.e. 108 px) and have a PHP script that will
proportionately size down the image using that height? So, if the original is 360 px wide by 540 px high, the image will automatically size to 108 px high by 72 px wide.

How would I do this?

Dynamically Generate Mp3 Clip
I have page in which user will upload song and i need to automatically

How To Change Data Dynamically ...
I'm developing a system where user has a previlage to select
his/her COUNTRY then STATE then CITY respectively. i've put all the
Country names, State names and City name in a Drop-Down combos which
is filled dynamically from the MySQL database. Now my problem is that
i want it in such a way that if one select USA as COUNTRY then all the
STATE(s) of USA should be displayed on the STATE combo not any other.
and then when user selects the STATE in the next combo the CITY combo
should be populated with cities related to that STATE only and not
with any other.

Dynamically Populate PDF Form
I found a free script/class online a few months ago which enabled me to populate pre-built PDF forms with data using PHP; without using any toolkits etc (it worked perfectly). It was simply a PHP script. I lost the script when my PC died recently DOH!

Does anybody know where I can find such a script again? I have searched google all night, but all I find is commercial products (not cheap!) or toolkits for generating PDFs', not filling pre-built PDF forms. Here is what I am trying to do:

I have built a site for a client which incorporates e-learning. Students take lessons and if at the end of the course their grades are sufficient, they download a PDF certificate. The certificate is in PDF format with Form Fields for the required data. The certificate needs to display the students name, grade and course name. I need a PHP script which can import server-side data into a PDF form which the user can then print or save (flat). The last (and lost) script did this so I know it is possible.

PHP To Dynamically Make New Pages? DOH!
I am building a CMS system for a client to edit add and remove content from his new site, not a problem however he now wants the facility to create new pages and be able to edit the new pages, how do you create a new page dynamically using php and mysql?

ERM...

Any standard commands as in create_page()?

How would I make the new page have variables included so that it could echo mysql content onto the newly created page?

Dynamically Transparent Gif's

Dynamically Populate A Drop Down Box
I have a website with products for sale and along side each item I have displayed the number of each of these items that are left in stock. What I want to do is to have a dropdown box so that the user can choose the qty of itmes to order but they should not be able to order more than what is in stock.

For example if there are 5 items left then the drop down box must be initialised at 0 and show the numbers 1,2,3,4,5. When a purchase is made then the drop down must be adjusted to match what is left in the database. Code:

Dynamically Naming Variables
I'm pulling values from a db, the values are all domain names. Is there any way after pulling them in with a while loop, that I can define a variable name as the value of what I have pulled?

$query = "SELECT city FROM cities ORDER BY city";
$results = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($results, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$thisiswhereIwantTheValueToGo = $row['city'];
}

I understand that the above will make the value of the variable = to the $row['city'], is there any way I can dynamically create the variable name based on that same value?

Add Fields To A Form Dynamically On The Fly

Dynamically Create And Save Php Page
Here is my code:
$filepointer=fopen("http://www.mysite.org/usersetup/newusers/" . $SESSION_UID . "/configsite.php", "w+");

$data = "<? $name = ' . $datatosave. '
?>";

fputs($filepointer, $data);

fclose($filepointer);

My goal is to dynamically create a .php file with the contents of
<? $name = "variable data"; ?>

My code doesn't work. Something with the php page, I think. I and using similar code to populate .txt files with dynamic data, without variables, and it works file. Apparently, a quick change to .php is harder than I thought. I"ve even tried sending a simple line of data to the php page with no luck. Heck, I even tried doing it as a text file and rename to .php but it didn't like my rename.
