Editing One Line Of A File.
MySQL ahs been giving me tremendous problems ever since I tried to switch to version 5.0.20. I thought that I might make my own SQL program, out of PHP code. But if a user of it has a table with hundreds or more entrys, editing one line would take hours. If you can't get PHP to edit one line with a few functions, what about splitting a file into three parts and then merging them together after editing the middle part, like so: Code:

Open File, Add Line At Beginning, Remove Last Line
I'm trying to open a file, write one line at the very beginning, and delete the last line. Right now I'm stuck at trying to open the file and write a line at the very beginning. Here's my code: $f="myfile.txt"; fwrite(fopen($f,"a"),"Add This Line"); I know I'm opening this file in append mode, where it will always write my text at the end of the document, but I can't figure out any other mode that would allow me to open an existing document and not delete everything that is already in it.
Editing Info In A File
I am using a tab delimited file to provide information for a page to be displayed. I have used fgetcsv() to get information from the file, and it returns an array of information. I was wondering if there is a way I could change information in the file. For example lets say that $content[2] = "This" how could I change it so that, $content[2] = "That". I know how to change the variable to a different value, but I haven't figured out how to change the actual file.

Removing A Line Within A File?
I have an include file (links.php) with nothing but links, the filenames are dates ( i.e. YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.php), all the links point to files within the same directory (i.e. /data). I read all these files in from the directory with readdir() and then build a form in order to remove certain files. I need to be able look into the include file, find the correct link, and remove it. I have been trying to use a foreach statement and preg_match() and printing back to the file lines that do not match and skipping the ones that do with absolutely no luck. It doesn't seem to match the link within the file. Here is a snippet of code:
Rewrite File Line
I am trying to write a portion of the script that will replace a line with a new one in a text file. I figured fputs would do the trick, but I tried opening the file with fopen with the mode r, r+, and w+ and they don't seem to do the trick. r will only read, r+ is supposed to read and write, but instead it just reads (nothing new was inserted when I tried it), and w+ erases the file then inserts the new information. The way the script works, it will search for the proper line using a while loop, once found, it will take the information and modify it slightly, then it's supposed to overwrite the new line over the old one, afterall, the pointer have not changed it's position since it found the correct line. I don't want to replace an entire file because the script will do more work, just one frigging line in the same position.

New Line On The Flat File
i recently decided to code an extreamly simple php cms which i can use on any websites i make. so far i have made an input form, a procesing page, a flat file, and an index with an explode function which shows the last 5 posts newest to oldest. all of it works up to a point. the problem i have come accross is that when you fill in the message part of the form if you press enter to give a new paragraph it creates a new line on the flat file which the script then thinks is a new line of arrays which makes each new paragraph a new post adding it above its proper post. i wonder if its possible to somehow stop the line break in the textarea counting as one in the flatfile.. or even better if i can replace it with a < br> tag so it shows as a new paragraph.
New Line In A Flat File?!?!
Made a simple script that can add, edit, or delete objects in a flat file. To use for news, simple ecom, etc. Created the script and tested in on one server and worked perfect. Just moved it to the actual server it will stay on and for some reason what used to make a new line for a new object just adds an upright looking rectangle looking symbol. Sorry can't copy it here cause it won't show up; will only show up in notepad. Once the symbol is added it will add the new data in the same line is the last object in the flat file. Anyone have any thoughts?!?!?! Code:
New Line In Text File
I'm trying to create a text file in php to generate a playlist. The problem is that I cannot manage to create a new line in the text file. Using /n still places text in the same line and just inserts a symbol to indicate the 'new line'. Using just works when viewing the document in HTML (which is not what i need in this case). But what I want is to physically insert a new line in the text file so that when i open the generated file using notepad i see that there are actually new lines in the document and so that the playlist can be read normally with a music player.
Finding A Line In A File
How would I write some php code that opens up a text file, looks for a specific line, and delete it? Basically I have a text file called photoList.txt, which has a list of all the photos stored, one line at a time. And if I want to delete the photo, I basially have to delete it from photoList.txt.
Moving To New Line When Writing Out A File
What I'm trying to do is insert a new category into a array then write the array out to a file. This works, however, the text file uses carrage returns to seperate the items of the array. For example: cat1 cat2 cat3 What happens when I write the file is: cat1 newCatcat2 cat3 (assuming that newCat is sorted between 1 and 2) What I want is to have the next item in the array pushed to the next line, but I have not been able to do this. here's my code:
Writing To A File And Not Having To Do An Fputs For Each Line

Consider the code: $arrText = file ("http://www.site.com/page.htm"); for ($i=0; $i<count($arrText); i++) { echo("$arrText[$i] "); } (I did not test the snippet for errors) The line breaks appear to be different from the original .htm file. Why?

Modifying First Line Of Uploaded File
Here is what my script does, you select a .csv or file that follows those guildlines. Script then loads it into mySQL database using the first line as a reference to which field each row of the .csv (spreadsheet) goes into. One problem: some of the first line references have spaces in them. Since MySQL doesn't support spaces I need to take that first line and change them all: example WORK ORDER,CUSTOMER NAME,CUSTOMER ADDRESS needs to become WORK_ORDER,CUSTOMER_NAME,CUSTOMER_ADDRESS ....is there a ways to do this? I know I'll probably have to upload the file first, before I can modify that first line. I cannot replace that first line with a specific text, since the order of the fields change sometimes.
Printing The Line Number And Name Of Included File
Does anyone know how to echo the line number and included file name in php. I like to use development tags but sometimes I forget what included file they are in and what line they are on. I use a master variable to turn off all of the dev tags, but I would really like an easy way to automatically print the line number and file where the function is. This would be like if there was an error, but with out breaking the script and with out generating a nasty error.
Reading Strings In Text File (1 Per Line)
I am trying to take a text file containing a list of email addresses (1 per line), and insert each line as a new item in mySQL. I know how to do most of the php and the mySQL, but I am not sure about the syntax of the line to return the string from "line x" of the tex tfile. From the php doc. I have this code to read the full contents of my text file: // get contents of a file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); My question, clearly is: then how do I split $contents into an array so that $emails[150] could return the email number 150?

Search File For Line And Replace With Update
I am trying to search through a file for a line. My line that I will be searching is in a cron flat file. I need to search that file for a line simirlar to: 59 23 * * * wget -q http://www.site.com/runPage.php?usr=name When the line is found, I need to make changes to it. I have read the file into a variable with fread, is that the best way to get this information for the type of search and replace I am trying to do? From what I have read in past posts, it seems like strstr is a quick way to go or would strpos be? Or, do I have to do more than that?
Blank Line At Beginning Of Downloaded File
I'm sending a file to a user with the following code: header( "Content-Type: application/binary"); header( "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$filename"); header( "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" ); passthru( "svnadmin dump ".$svn_repos_loc."/".$name ); (the svnadmin dump command returns a mostly ascii file, but could also contain some non-ascii parts) Somehow the file that is saved on the recipients computer gets an additional blank first line. Off course I can strip this somehow, but I'm interested in an explanation of this behavior and I would like a more appropriate solution!
Appending Text To A File, Starting A New Line.
Im appending text to a file. And I'd like each 'append' would start on a new line of a file. I tried 'n'. but it doesnt work. here is my code: $fp = fopen("$filename", "a"); for ($i = 0; $i < count($arrText); $i++){ fputs($fp, $arrText[$i]); } fclose($fp); note: one of the array $arrText, eg. $arrText[3] = "line 3" . "n"; the next array $arrText[4] will NOT start on a new line, it will just joint the rrText[3].
How Do You Create A New Line Each Time A File Is Written To?
I am trying to write user submitted information to a file, and I am having a little problem. Here is my code: <?php import_request_variables($_POST, "FirstName"); $file=(/fname.dat'); $f=fopen($file,'a'); fwrite($f,$FirstName); fclose($f);?> Each time the file gets written to, the info is just tacked right after the last character from the previous entry. How can I get this to write each entry on a seperate line?
