PHP :: Editing Multiple Text Elements

Editing And Updating Text
I'm trying to create a text editing and updating capability to help
someone who wants to maintain content on a web page without having to
know any HTML or use a web authoring tool and FTP'ng the contents.
I've already created a screen whereby the person can create new
content with a PHP program that inserts into a MySQL table. But, I'm
having a little trouble in creating the edit/update functionality.

I created an edit screen called "teach_edit.php". Based upon some
search parameters on another HTML screen, it retrieves the appropriate
text from the database. It seems to allow on screen editing.
However, when I hit the Submit button, nothing happens. It's supposed
to call another program called "teach_update.php". Here's the code
for it.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Teaching Edit Program</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php

@ $db = mysql_connect('localhost', '<db name>', '<password>');
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again
later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("<db>");

$query = "select * from albert where ".$searchtype." like
'%".$searchterm."%'";

$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$title = $row['title'];
$teaching = $row['teaching'];
$teaching = wordwrap($teaching, 60, "
", 1);
$teachnum = $row['teachnum'];
}
if ($result)
{

Editing Text File With A PHP Form
I am trying to do something with PHP that i am sure is pretty easy. But not sure myself how to do it.

I have a file that i want to pull into a simple HTML Form text field. From that field the person can just add in content or remove content.. Click "Update" .. And it will write the new content out.. Overwriting the old file if need be.

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.

Editing And Handling Vars From Text Files
I have a config file like that

a=12
b="some other values"

I want to handle these vars for my php program and also be able to edit these vals.

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.

I have only been coding for about a week now so my skills are pretty limited and I have not found any tutorials that cover this issue so if anyone could be kind enough as to show me how this is done I would be most greatful....

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!

Inserting Elements Of Multiple Arrays In Database
I am stuck when trying to pass the contents of multiple arrays to an INSERT statement. Here is my code:

Php Template For Multiple Text Files
I have over 800 text files. I need one php template webpage that can pull in text of requested file on request in url. Example:

http://www.gothinia.com/chronicle/epos.php3?title=Title_Of_Text_File_With_Story.txt

would place text of Title_Of_Text_File_With_Story.txt inside template called epos.php3
what code will do this in a simple effiencient manner?

Breaking Up Text For Multiple Pages
I was recently put in charge of heading up my company's website, and
while I have a lot of experience on the design side of things, I'm
still very new to the programming side. When I started, the website had
just gotten a revision, but the site was an utter mess, so I've been
trying to fix it up. As I've gone along, I've learned some aspects of
PHP, but my knowledge is still very limited.

Here is the problem I'm trying to fix. A backend is used to enter
information into our MySQL database, and then a page template pulls it
out to make the page. For our reviews, the PHP coding currently breaks
up the review's text so that it can be places across multiple pages.
The problem is, the way the text breaking was set up, the end of one
page and the beginning of the next are totally chaotic, with breaks
often coming mid-sentence.

Here is what I'd love: other coding automatically puts an HTML break at
the end of paragraphs, and then another in the space between one
paragraph and the next. I'd love to have the code search for when those
double breaks come up, and then break up the text after, say, every
sixth pair of HTML breaks. I'd also like the option to break the text
myself by putting in some sort of text code in the original text. At
this point, though, anything that can make the breaks more elegant
would be a huge improvement.

I really appreciate any help anybody can give me in this one. Please
remember that I know very little of PHP, and I'm not much of a
programmer anyhow, so things that you may take for granted that people
would understand about PHP, I might not know.

I tried to pull out what I thought was the current coding for the text
break. Here it is. I'd also like to get rid of the part1/part2 factor.
Before, they had the text breaking to help in fitting into the layout
around an image, but I've fixed that so I no longer need the break. So,
that portion no longer needs to be a factor.

if ($page == ""){
$page = 1;
}
$no_letters = strlen($Game_Full_Story);
$times = ($no_letters / 3800) +1;
$Game_Full_Story = wordwrap($Game_Full_Story,3800,"*#^");
$Game_Full_Story = explode ("*#^", $Game_Full_Story);
$pages = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$times ; $i++){
$part[$i] = $Game_Full_Story[$i];
if ($i != 0){
array_push($pages, $i);
}
}
$page = $page-1;
$story = $part[$page];
if (strlen($story) < 460){
$parts1 = $story;
}else{
$story = wordwrap($story,460,"*#^");
$story = explode ("*#^", $story);
$parts1 = $story[0];
$count = count($story);
$parts2="";
for ($i=1; $i<$count; $i++){
$parts2 .=$story[$i];
$parts2 .=" ";
}
}

Text Field Eats Up Multiple Words!!??
I pass a variable in my url which is let's say two words separated by a space.
now if i just echo($variable) then i get both the words as they are.. separated by a space... but on the other hand if i put that same variable inside a text field.. i.e <input type=text name=bla value=$variable> i get only the first word of the variable

e.g.
$variable = "hello there";

displayed normaly i get:
hello there

displayed inside a text field i get:
hello

i tried using different things like urldecode/urlencode/rawurl blabla/ the best i could get to display was a hello+there
so is there any solution to displaying $variable as it is inside a text field.. by the way it displayed fine if i use a textarea but i need to use a normal text type input.

How Can I Print Out Multiple Text Input Boxes?
How Can I Print Out Multiple Text Input Boxes. The function below prints out three text boxes. The code below is static, cannot accept user input, and therefore cannot be changed. What I need to do is write a function or maybe a class that can accept user input and print or echo a different number of text boxes, depending on the user input.

The name variable for each of the textboxes needs to have a different name. For example, the name for the first text box would be something like "name=textfield1", the second would be "name=textfield2", and so forth. PHP Code:

Populate MySQL With Multiple Text Box Entries
I have about 300 rows of mysql data which I have chosen to diplay with a text box at the end of each row, that is available for adding comments. I would like to be able to add comments to entries and then have an update scripte that would take the text box, named "MC" and place the data in its row identified by a hidden field which would corrrespond to the Primary Key of the MySQL Database. I've done something similar using check box arrays, ie. Checkbox name="MC[]"

My question is whether I can write a script that would test for a value in the corresponding text box, and update the MySQL data accordingly. I have also provided in my display script that if the MC column is already populated in MySQL it will not display in the form.

Help On A Multiple Keyword Search On A TEXT Field Type
Working on a php/mysql driven site which requires me to have a search facility based on multiple keywords. I read the tutorial "quick and dirty search engine". What i want to know is :

1. Is there any SQL query i could perform which could to almost the same thing ( i dont really need the accuracy ) ?

2. Any other methods of achieving it?

Display Results From Text File In Multiple Pages
i use a string, eg "&&&" to mark pages in a text file. i use $count to count the above string. how can i display the contents of this file in multiple pages (by identifying the above string or any other method)?

Multiple Checkbox Query Using Text As Values Not Numbers
I've been looking to create a query based on multiple checkbox results (select results from multiple cities) and the only examples I've found so far use numbers as the values like the one below; Code:

Array Query - For Adding Alt Text To Multiple Image Upload Form
I've set up a form for uploading multiple images and I am writing the urls to a database, which is queried and outputs the images on a web page. This works fine, however, I also want to add alt/title text for each image upload but can't quite seem to get it working. I'm pretty new to PHP so my knowledge of how to use arrays is fairly limited. Code:

INI File Editing...
Does anybody know how to open up an ini file and edit one section?

like find the section called [votes] and just replace the values underneath it, in that section alone?

vote.ini

find that section, replace the values with there new numbers, without having to deal with what sections come before and after this, in the ini file?

Editing A String To Add A Before A '
Is there a function that allows you to add a before a ' in a string.
This is needed to store text in a mysql db and i was wondering if there
is function which can do this to any ' which DO NOT already have one
before them, this is so i can keep editing my text without all these
building up.

Editing HTML/
I'm looking for a way to editing my site on the fly (unfortunately I don't have DB support). I've been messing around with file functions, and that part seems to work fine.

My problem is that backslashes are being added when I post the form I use to edit the files, and if I understand it correctly, I can't just use stripslashes() since there are some backslashes I need to get through (like)Any solution to this?

Editing Rights
Is there any way to allow a PHP script editing rights to every file on its filesystem?

Editing .htaccess
Is there a way to edit a file (in this case .htaccess) in PHP to add a line of code?
EX. What I want to do is add this line to .htaccess: DirectoryIndex main.php?id=5

Editing A Table
is it possible to print a table and then that the user can edit it? My site is for an institute so in a colum will appear all the names of the students and I want that they can give all the notes next to their names, so I was thinking in do it with a table but i dont know if it is possible to edit the table: Code:

Help On Editing PHPBB
I do manage a website and it includes a PHPBB forum, obviously placed at /forum (¿why to use a weirder path? :P). The thing is that my site is more than a forum, it has more content. I have menus almost everywhere, it's very navigable; but if you go into the forum, you can only get back to the other sections of the site using the back buton or removing everything starting from /forum in the address bar. Of course, this doesn't fit my site's philisophy, which is almost to put menus even inside the menus in every page, so you can go from everywhere to everywhere... I hope you cacth it. I've noticed that it shows the domain and title I put in the admin panel. Well, what I'd like to do is to make this text link to my homepage, placed at /index.php or simply /. The problem is that I'm completely lost when trying to do something in PHPBB's source files. I don't know which file should I edit, nor where should I add the code. These files are a code labirynth for me, and I need to edit them to fit my site's needs.

Looking For A PHP App For Editing Pages
Any ideas? Basically something that would allow me to upload/copy/delete/edit webfiles. It would probably use a WYSIWYG javascript editor. Not really looking for a CMS because they don't work with existing html files.

Form Editing
I am trying to call information from a MySQL database in for form of an editable form. I want the info to be called into a box that can by typed in and so far that works.

What I want to do next is to be able to change what is in those boxes and click an update button which updates what was called from the database to what I typed in the box. The code I wrote is below and almost works. I'm not sure what the problem is. Code:

Editing An Xml File
I have an xml file that I use to store information in. I want to be able to add info to it without deleting whats in the file.

Drop Down Box Editing
I have 3 linked drop down boxes ( Eg: Country, State and City ) . I've set values for the drop down boxes initially and I would like to edit the values later. Is it possible to show/highlighte the set values ( the value I've put earlier ) while editing the drop down boxes using PHP or AJAX.

Editing A Table
i've checked my code like a thousand times and it seems to me there're no syntax errors in it, but I still don't manage to get the damn thing working. It's a script to update an event stored in a db, you can edit both the description as the date of the event. Code:

Editing A Row In A Table
I'm having trouble editing a row. The existing data echoed into the form ok but if I try to change anything and click submit, the error message at the end of the script is echoed. Code:

Editing Data
What i want to do is edit details that have been taken from mysql database and display them in a text box.

I'm under standing what I’ve done so far which was to bring the job id code of the job that i want to edit from another page and i no the code to edit but what i can’t do is display the job data into a text box so it can be seen and edits can be made. All the books and website and forms I’ve read don’t show how to display the data to a text box or it’s so complicated that i don’t have a clue what’s going on? Code:

Editing System Passwords With Php
I need to create a php script that adds new users to my FreeBSD server. I've tried running the 'pw adduser' command through a script, but I can't pass a desired password to it.

I've also tried using the pw command with a password encoded in md5, but I'm still pretty confused about how the encryption works.

Editing The Win32 Registry
Does anyone know if the equivalent of PERL's Win32::Registry module exists for PHP anywhere? If so, I'd be grateful for a push in the right direction.

Editing An Element Within An Array
I have a two-dimensional array that looks like this:
array(
array(0, 123),
array(0, 234),
array(0, 345),
array(0, 456)
)
I want to REMOVE any element that contains 234, and I want to
INCREMENT the first value for any element that contains 345, to make
it look like this:
array(
array(0, 123),...

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.

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:

Editing Files In A <textarea>
I've written this program to let me edit ASCII files on my server in a <textarea>. However, if the file that is being edited contains a textarea within it, then I get problems.

what I want to do is read this file into the textarea but I want to convert all of the < and > characters to < and > 's. I figgered you'd do this through Regular Expressions: however these are poorly documented in the PHP book I have, though the Perl book I have tells me how to do this. Could someone tell me how to do this, IN PHP! Code:

Editing Mysql Db Using A Php Form
I am working on a Sig Request database. People submit their request using a form and it's posted into a databse and then displayed beneath the request form. This is working fine. I am having trouble however with my edit.php file.

I want to be able to load a users information, which I have done using this code below. It displays in a form. I change 1 or 2 of the fields, such as the completed field and designer field and click update but it doesn't actually update the database.

The page first lists all the requests. It lists their ID, Name and then it says "Edit this Request" which opens a page with their sig request details in. Here is my code below for the edit.php file. Code:

Editing HTML In A Form?
I want to build a very basic online text editor, to allow customers to
modify their own sites' html content using a simple form with textarea
element.

I read the HTML file like so:

<?PHP

function EditText ($filepath)
{
if (!$file = file($filepath)) return false;
foreach ($file as $line) {
$value .= $line; // contains all text in file when done
}
$html = "<html><head><title>Editor</title></head>
<body>
<form method='post' action='processtext.php'>
<textarea rows=ཤ' cols=ྌ' name='txt' value='$value'>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
</body>
</html>";
echo $html;
return true;
}

EditText ('/sample/index.html');
?>

The problem comes when the parsed file containing html elements itself
is echoed to the browser. In itself, PHP does what it's asked, but all
browsers I tried choke on the contents of the TEXTAREA field. Best
example may be: try parsing the file containing the script itself, it
becomes a real mess.

I tried htmlspecialchars, this did not fix it. I tried addslashes to
only escape the quotes in the parsed file, also no success.

I saw one example online where 'they' preg_replaced about every possible
(x)html and php syntax element, resulting in an immensely large and slow
script. Can't imagine that's the proper way forward.

If at all possible I'd like to stay away from Javascript. Any idea if
this is a realistic approach? Are there any useable scripts available? I
searched google a lot, but I keep ending up at sites that offer html or
php editors for local use, not in a browser.

Editing A (config) File
I have a file with some configation in it... I am wondering how I
correct single values in there.

The most secure is to recreate the file, then rename it.

But is there a way to correct a line in the text file?
setting1=bla -setting1=blablabla

Needless to say, there are things in there I'd like to keep at all
times.

Editing ID Field In Database.
I have come across a problem with some coding work that i am doing. My problem is the following: Presenters in the radio station, are shown in order of ID.

What i want to be able to do, is edit the order in which they are shown, by editing the ID. My problem, is that when i process the form the script has no way of telling what the field names are, as they are not pre defined, because i have put the code in a while loop, to get all of the DJ's names & id's out. Code:

Editing A Line In A File
I have a php file, I need to open it, find the line that reads "$pass[0] = "fa03eb688ad8aa1db593d33dabd89bad";" and edit the value
"fa03eb688ad8aa1db593d33dabd89bad". How can I do that, I have

   #Open the file
   $ourFileName = "access.php";
   $fh = fopen($ourFileName, 'r+') or die("Can't open file");
   fclose($fh);

Good PHP Editing Program
could someone suggest a good PHP editing program? I have been using GoLive - I'm sure there's something better out there.

Deletion And Editing Of Modules
i'm creating a miniature CMS. At the moment i'm working on the creation/deletion and editing of modules. I've got the creation working. But i'm struggling on the deletion and editing.

This is what i was thinking:

[Deletion]

1. (ID) Module 1 [Delete] (Link: modules.php?do=delete?name=Module%201&id=1)

[Editing]

1. (ID) Module 1 [Edit] (Link: modules.php?do=edit?name=Module%201&id=1)

How would i make it so the URL was that?

Editing MP3s Dynamically
I'm trying to work out if there's a way of using PHP to dynamically edit an MP3. Is this a bit too much for the old PHP to handle? I just want to cut it down to 10 seconds of audio if possible.

Editing Posted Bulletins
I have a section on my church website that pulls announcements stored in mySQL and displays them with PHP. I recently started working on a control panel so that other people could login and edit/create the announcements so as to keep it up to date and lighten my load.

I use a while statement to display all of the bits of news but my question is how can I make an edit button specific to each row in the table on mysql? All I need to really be able to do is have an edit button spit out for each post that will set a session variable to that particular posts index number.

I created the mysql table with this in mind and have index numbers to reference the chunks of data.

Editing Multiple Text Elements

I'd like to edit multiple rows with one click by the user. Basically I'd print out <input type=text name=fieldname value=$value> for each record in the table. When the user clicks submit PHP will then loop through each row updating where necessary.
