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 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.
Load Into Database From The Text File
i'm having difficulties here to load a text file to my database... let's say if i've a table named "train_info", and the field for that particular table is user-id, training_hours, training_date. let's say i've a text file that looks like this : " 123434 12 2002-08-03 545322 10 2002-08-03 533434 12 2002-08-03 654333 12 2002-08-03 535434 12 2002-08-03 " Is it possible for me to read such text file to be inserted into my "train_info" table?
Uploading Info From A Text File Into A MySQL Database
what would the PHP and SQL code be to say basically: make a new row and put this in the field, what comes after each comma goes in a new field, and each new line should be a new row. I have a huge text file that i don't have a way to upload directly into a MySQL database because my webhost isn't allowing it for some reason.
Database Search -text Database...
Can anybody tell me how to search a flat file database delimited by |. I have exploded the data and managed to get it into a table but want to restrict the final table contents by a search. The table code at the moment is below - I'd be using a htm file to submit the data. and hopefully be able to search by partial searches eg big would return big and bigfoot. Code:
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

Text Not Right From Database
I have a Profile section in my users registration, but if you enter a few lines and a few 'enter spaces' like <BR>, then the <BR> spaces do not appear and the text is continuous! my profile section is just 'text' in the database..should i change this to blob or varchar.? I also need the same fix for my news part! which is over 255 chars!
Plain Text Database
i'm really a newbie to php but not OOP. i'm designing a database to hold simple text messages to display in a page called, "News". The client doesn't want a sql database so I suggested a plain text database. I have it working but when I pull the data (fopen) it all comes back as one line. It's set up as a simple form passing 2 variable, $title and $comments. They both write (fwrite) just fine to the .txt file but upon retreiving them (fopen) it's all one line. Since I can't pass formated text to a .txt file is there a different way? As a newbie I haven't come across a solution yet. The client wants this soon so I'm asking here due to the timeline. Given a few more weeks I'm sure I'd stumble across it in some text.
Preparing Text For Insertion Into Database
I insert text into a MySQL Database using a TEXT field. PHP syntax is: $query = "INSERT INTO data (text_field) VALUES('$text_field')"; The problem is, when the user has an apostroph (like "friggin' cool") in the text, MySQL misinterprets it, and the query is invalid. Is there a PHP function that formats the that input so it can be entered into the database?
Storing Article Text In A Database
I have a website with an increasing amount of articles and news reports and so I am thinking of moving away from storing each article as a seperate page to having a single page and storing articles in a databasewhich are retrieved using a GET parameter. I see the advantage to me in using this approach as being making use of MySQL's fulltext search capability and less work needed when updating the design of the page. I'm not sure of a few things though: 1. The exact benefits of fulltext. Can someone provide a brief explanation or a good website 2. I imagine that storing just the plain text of the article in the database will result in a single block paragraph when retrieved into the page. Do I need to include the HTML markup with the text in the database or is there a different approach? 3. Will the HTML markup in the article interfere with the ability to search for words i.e. if I have a word "recipes" in an article that is surrounded tags like <b>recipes</b>, will a search on this article pick out the word from in between the tags?
Submitting Text For Use In A Mysql Database
This question has been bugging me for month. I have a website where people can enter stuff into a mysql database. Some of this information will already be shown in some textareas and input boxes, the user may change it and then hit submit. All the values are then passed to a mysql database, overriding the existing values (after the old ones have been backed-up). All of this works marvellous, apart from characters like &, ' and ". To make it even worse, some of the original text already contains &039; and other numeric character codes. Any values from the database are displayed by retrieving them from the DB [simplified of course] mysql_quer(...) $row = ... $Vold1 = $row[x]; $Vold2 = $row[y]; etc... <INPUT VALUE=$Vold NAME="x"> <TEXTAREA>$Vold</TEXTAREA NAME="y"> Any values that are submitted are processed as follows: $V1 = trim(stripslashes(htmlentities(trim($_POST["x"]))))) $V1 = trim(stripslashes(htmlentities(trim($_POST["y"]))))) then $V is inserted into the table using a mysql query.
Large Gap When Editing Text From Database
My first PHP project is a very simple blog system and I have a page which lists blog entries. This page provides a link to the edit page, when clicked opens the edit page and inserts the values from the database into the from. My problem is that it puts in a large gap of two tabs and two spaces the start of the from. The challenging thing is that if I slick submit, the gap is not put into the post.
Convert Text From Database For HTML
I'm pulling text from a database (MySQL) and I'm using the nl2br () function to convert the line breaks DESCRIPTION="<?php echo nl2br($row_rsttheJobResults['description']); ?>" This creates the following example "A new line will be created soon < 'br' > and here it is." However the website that receives this cannot accept the characters < and > So I want to convert this "< br >" into this "<p>" Could anybody help me add to the nl2br () function to convert the < br > tags? * the spaces between the < and br are there because they won't show in the message otherwise
Help? How To Create Next Buttons When Using A Flat Text Database
Ok, I know the code below does not work but I am wondering about the logic... 1 How do I just print 10 rows. 2 How do I get the buttons. You get the Idea. Anyway, I would like to know if anyone has done this with text files. I always see mysql as examples but nothing using a flat text database. <? $maxResults = 10; $datafile = "sometextfile.txt"; $rows = @file($datafile); for($size=0;$size<count($rows);$size++) { $rows[$size] = chop($rows[$size]); $coll = split("|",$rows[$size]); // print something } if ($size > 0) { $currPage = $size / $maxResults; if ($currPage > 1) print("<A HREF="test.php" >['prev']</A>"); for ($i = 0; $i < $size / $maxResults; $i++) { if ($currPage == $i + 1) printf("<A HREF="test.php"> </A> ",$i + 1); else printf("<A HREF="test.php"> </A> ",$i + 1); } if ($currPage < size / $maxResults) print("<A HREF="test.php">['next']</A>); } ?>

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.

Complicated Email Parse Or Text Extraction And Database Insertion
I am trying to strip some data out of numerous emails and place it in my database. I know that this seems as if it has been done before. But, this is a little different. First, the numerous emails all have a set of data that needs to be extracted and inserted into the database. Some of the data in the email is id, name, address, city, state, zip, company, etc. The catch is that the date is formated and presented differently in each email. Take into consideration the following email examples: - excert from email #1 ID:.............. 12345 Name:............ JOHN DOE Address:......... PO BOX 9999 City:............ Somecity State:........... CA Zip Code:........ 90210 ....
Select Specific Snippet Of Text, Replace With A Database Result
I'm having some problems trying to do something; I just can't think of a way to do it. Basically, I want to search for a specific snippet of text in a body of text, then replace it with the requested database result with some thrown in HTML. Users will be able to type the following (or something along these lines, depending on what works best): [image=12345]Insert caption here[/image] Then I need it to search for the requested image in the appropriate table and return the image's url (for an example, let's say the table is called "images", and the columns required are "imageid" and "imageurl".

Text Box To .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.

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?

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.
