Can Php Create A New Txt File?
I'm trying to build an e-card page for a client using php, but they don't want to use a mySQL database, so I was wondering if PHP can create new text files when someone enters their information into a form and then the recipient gets an email with that txt file reference in a link and can then go to a page that populates with that particular text.

Does it sound like I'm on the right path?

Can't Create New File
I have a small PHP script that will convert text into vcard format and write it to a new .vcf file (plain text). To write, I've used PHP Code:

Cannot Create File When Uploading
Hi. I use this script to upload file (taken by Zend.com website)
This works locally, but when i upload to server i get an error.
script...

//$campofile is the file field filled before in a form...

$archive_dir = "../folder1";
$filename = basename($campofile_name);
$filesize = basename($campofile_size);
$filetype = basename($campofile_type);
if($campofile!='')
{
if(!copy($campofile,"$archive_dir/$filename"))
echo "Error: $filename could not be uploaded."."<br>";

Create A Csv File On-the-fly For Downloading
I have a large database-created table on a page, that needs to have a "download as csv file" link (actually, as xcel, but I'll bet that's much harder to create).

What's the simplest way to do that? Do I actually delete-and-recreate a csv file on the server every time?

Cannot Upload And Create File
I've written this script to upload files to my server, and if the file being uploaded is an image file, a thumbnail is automatically created along with it.

But right now, after you select the file, and hit upload, you are brought to a blank screen. I check the directories, and the files are not uploaded. Everything LOOKS right, I just don't know what's wrong. PHP Code:

Create Downloadable Xml File
I need to make a downloadable xml google sitemap based off of mysql data. What fuctions would I use. I assume I would be using fopen to write it, but how do I make it downloadable.

Script To Create Html File
I'm looking for a php script that will look in my images folder and for each image in there, create an html file named <imagename>.html and store it in a folder called "pages". I currently use the code  inserted below that scans my image folder, creates an xml file that contains a list of the images and the my Flash image gallery reads the xml file to create the gallery.

but I would rather do it by the method I'm requesting above and get away from flash. Any ideas? Even if there's a way to modify the code below to do what I want, that would be great. Code:

Create Db Firebird With Php, Exec Does Not Want To Execute A File .bat
I am trying to create db firebird with php, script php generates and executes a file .bat . the file .bat creates db using isql in c:firebirdin, but .bat does not create db when is called by php script, but the file .bat if it works when it is executed from MSDOS, creates db correctly,

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:

$f=fopen($file,'a');

PHP Script To Create MySQL DB From A Dump FIle
I just need to write a script that will read a dump file and just create the tables, ect. as specified from it. If anyone has a link or some simple code for this that would be great. Didn't think about this till i had done it, but i have the mysql create commands over multiple lines, so I can't just use:

while (list($lineNum, $line) = each($dumpFile)) {
mysql_query($line);}

Using Fopen() To Create New File - Works For A Few Then Just Doesnt
I am currently working on a content management system where a user can
fill in a form (title, keywords, link text etc. - all the initial
attibutes), which when submitted, will go onto create a web page.

The code is as follows:

$html = "<html>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
<html>";
$handle = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path/to/folder/".$filename,
"w");
fwrite($handle, $html);
fclose($handle);

Pretty basic, I think. I works for a few and then it just stops. I get
no error to say that 'could not create file' or 'file not found', it
just submits. Any reason for this? I have tried searching the C: drive
for the file but it cannot be found.

At the moment Im trying to figure out when it actually occurs but for
some annoying reason, it seems to be working now. I would prefer to be
assured that it wont occur again so just thought I would still post
something here just encase this problem is a known one.

Is fopen() the best solution for creating files? I was aware that it
was used to open an existing file but create one (?). Is this what it
was intended to do? Im sure it is, but its new to me.

Create A Search Result On A File Directory
I am working on a project where I need to take a variable from a form, then match that variable against a directory list and return a modified list of files available that are clickable.

I am having trouble finding information on how to take that directory list a sort the results based only on the keyword that was typed in.

Read Off An Uploaded File Name To Create A Link?
I want to read an uploaded filename, say "mypic.jpg" to create a link to this image without having to ask the users to enter the filename "mypic.jpg" when uploading it.  My upload code works file but it's not on the same page. 

I'm working on my "index.php" page and included the upload.php page "<?php include("upload.php"); ?>" in it.  Here's the sample of my code in the upload.php page (the code for the form is separate and not included here): Code:

PHP5, Win2003, Create Any File Or Folder On The Server

Create Directories On The Fly...
Just curious to know is it possible to create directories on the fly?

What I have done is created a script when you can add categories and subcategories, but what I would like to do is create a directory physcially within that category. For instance using the mkdir command using linux. In a way traversing through and creating a directory.

An example would be:

If I created a category called business and econony then it would display this in the address bar.

http://www.domain.com/Business_and_Economy

Then perhaps under Business and Economy, a category called Accounting, then it would display the following:

http://www.domain.com/Business_and_Economy/Accounting/

Hopefully I'm making some sense here.

Heres the code:

function maketree($rootcatid,$level)
{
$sql="select catid,cat_name
from quiz_category
where parentid=$rootcatid
order by cat_name";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

while (list($DBcatid,$DBcatname)=mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
$width=($level+1)*24;
$display="<img src=http://www.domain.com/spacer.gif border=0 width=$width height=12>";
if ($DBcatid==1)
{
$display.="<input type="radio" name="quest_type" value=$DBcatid checked>";
}
else
{
$display.="<input type="radio" name="quest_type" value=$DBcatid>";
}
$display.="$DBcatname<br>
";
echo $display;
maketree($DBcatid,$level+1);
}
}

if ($submit=='Add New Category')
{
if ($new_cat!='')
{
mysql_query("insert into quiz_category
(parentid,cat_name) values ($quest_type,'$new_cat')");

# need to create directory here

echo "<br><br><center><b>New category entered</b></center>";
}
else
echo "<br><br><center><b>New category name must be entered</b></center>";
}

Cannot Create A URL With Two Variables
I wish to create a url with two variables from data passed from a previous page. If I allocate text to the variables on the page, like

$linkaddress = (&#391234;');
$clientsemail = ('olympic@mechan.freeserve.com');

the full correct URL is echoed back thus

http://www.morgle.com/mymorglemailer.php?mylinkaddress=1234&calledemailaddress=olympic@mechan.freeserve.com

However, if I try and create the URL with the variables posted from the previous page , the URL is truncated after the first variable thus

http://www.morgle.com/mymorglemailer.php?mylinkaddress=1234

I know the variables being posted from the previous page contain data because I have echoed them back seperately ok.
