Delete Specific Texts From File
The text file is in variable length. We can't point to where to delete. But there are texts we want to delete in the text. How can I do ?
The only way I can think of is load entire file, match the text we want, replace the text, and then rewrite the file. Is this way correct ?

Delete Specific Records
On clients machine, currently to delete on trainee record it runs 10 queries to delete records from 10 tables. At the time of running all queries, server shows (104) Connection reset by peer. An error condition occurred while reading data from the network. I think it because of running 10 queries at a same time. Is there any possibility that through one line of query we can delete record from 10 tables. I've tried following query DELETE FROM table1, table2, table3, table4, table5, table6, table7, table8, table9, table10 WHERE empID = 11; But it gives ' error in query.

Keeping Texts Outside Php Files
I want to keep all messages etc outside php to create a multilanguage site later. What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of a session variable language, and call the text output with a function that receives the messageid and language id and so returns the text. Is it wise to store all these messages in mysql or inside the function (if messageid=1 etc)? Does it make a difference in speed if the function handles all or if the message content is received by mysql query?

I have a mysql database and i wanted to store texts under quotation. i used the addslashes() function so that the quotations will also be stored. But this function adds too many slashes before the text (eg. \"Agriculture and Development\"). When i try to display the text that is stored in the db, it creates disorder on my page.

Fwrite At Specific Point In File
I'm doing a little feedback type feature on one of my sites, so a visitor can just type in their name and comment and it's posted to a page (feedback.html) which is displayed in an iframe. This all works fine and dandy but when I write to the feedback.html page the new comments obviously go on the bottom, so that after a few feedback comments have come in you need to scroll down to read the new ones, so I would like it so that it posts the new comments at the start of the new file. This can't be literally the start though, as the feedback.html has three lines of headers, or 84 characters. So what I need is a way to point the file pointer at the 85th character or the fourth line and perform the fwrite there. I've tried using fseek but haven't had any joy with that. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and is anyone able to help?

Retrieving Specific File Info...
Ive got a file which contains the following data: <option value="13">African Nations Cup XXV</option> <option value="16">asd</option> <option value="7">Champions League</option> <option value="1">English Premiership</option> What Id like to do is get the maximum value, so 16. Ive used file_get_contents to bring the file into a string, but now Im stuck getting that max value out. Unless theres a function for this, I believe the direction I would need to take is collect all value numbers using some string manipulation function, throw them all into an array, and just get the max value of the array. Is there an easier way?

Reading Specific Values From A Txt File
I would like to read from a .txt file with php and display only column[3] and column[4] when there is a match in column[0] at a specific row. Example: currencies.txt CAD / Canadian Dollar (CAD) / Canadian Dollars / .22500 / .03680 USD / US Dollar (USD) / US Dollars / .5400 / .5200 AUD / Australian Dollar (AUD) / Australian Dollars / .1324 / .09680 MXN / Mexican Peso (MXN) / Mexican Pesos / .3476 / .2482 There is a match in column[0] at row 3 with AUD, so only the values in column[3] and column[4] at row 3 are displayed (.1324 and .09680). I'm not using MySQL for the database because the txt file will only be about 10 rows, I can't figure this one out, any solutions?

Help Please: Insert String Into File At Specific Location

Putting A File Directory In A Specific Order
I have the code below, looking at the contents of the folder and listing the files, as links to themselves. I would like to be able to control the way they are sorted. It seems very random.

Read Specific Entry From File Directory
Is there a way to use PHP to read forward from a specific starting point in a directory? Let's say I've opened a directory on a file system, I've read through the first X-number of entries, now I need to go do something else, but I want to come back later in the program and continue reading from the point I left off in the directory. This would be like reading through an array with an index value. Can I do this with a PHP construct of some kind, or do I have to call a shell script.

Pulling Date-specific Data From Flat File
I'm almost a complete newbie to using PHP and I was hoping one of you guys can point me in the right direction. I'm working on a site for a brand of handmade fruit juice and it only needs one bit of dynamic content: the info on what fruit is in the juice and where it is coming from (vendor, country etc.) today and tomorrow (the content of the juice is different everyday). So I thought it would be easiest to put that information in a flat file (an Excel file would be ideal but a plain text would do too) on a weekly basis and try to pull out the needed info with PHP. Except I don't know how yet. I don't expect any of you to do the work for me but if someone could point me to which functions of PHP I should do some research on, I'd be most grateful.

Include The File On All Your Pages In A Specific Directory Recursivly
I have a configuration file called config.php" that I would like all my pages to have. The problem with it is that I have to include it in all my pages and have to specify the exact directory wherever it's located and I have my files throughout different files in the filesystem and it becomes a tedious job. So my question is, is there a way to have php include the file on all your pages in a specific directory recursivly or is there an apache setting through .htaccess that can maybe pull this off?

File Delete
I need to delete a compressed backup file after it has been sucessfully uploaded to a ftp server, the upload works fine using CRON and a php page. I have tried to delete the file using: <? $oldfile = "/home/#*$!/backup-10.8.2005_07-00-01_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> However I get a permission denied, what's wrong? Also, I don't know the exact file name, so what I really want to do is wildcard the file name like this: <? $oldfile = "/home/xxx/backup-*_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> Is this possible?

Trying To Delete A File Using Unlink
i am trying to delete a file using the unlink function but it just is not working. i just get the Could not delete message. Is there anyway to find out exactly what is wrong? I've tried the exact path which is C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt but it just does not delete. Also i dont think it can be related to permissions because the 0000000.txt was created automatically by a script. The code i used is as follows: <? $delete = unlink("C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt"); if($delete) { echo "Succesfully Deleted"; } else { echo "Could not Delete"; } ?>
