Basically what i'm trying to do is when a user inputs login/password information at a login page, I want PHP to search inside verify.txt and if it finds the login/password combination then allows the user to proceed.

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.

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?

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].
Removing Line Breaks In Reading Text File
When I read in a text file seperated by | delimiter, all is well except in the case of data posted to that text file from a Textarea within a Form. When the user hits the Return key once, a new line is ultimately created in the final file read; when the user does a 2nd or subsequent CR, there are multiple blank lines on the file as it is echoed into a web page (in fact, 7 <BR>s in a row). I've tried str_replace to no effect ...is it a PHP error or is it something logical I've missed. Lines 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are the results of a Textarea submission - they aer all one field - that have been seperated by a carriage return in an html form posting to a text file: Code:
ECHO Or Concatenation With Single Quote, For Performance?
I am working on an HTML template which has a lot of html tags, with PHP data shown in the middle of these tags -- you know, the usual. Currently, I have HTML as is, and many many "echo $variable" statements mixed in as PHP code. My question: should I leave it like this, with ECHO statements embedded within the tags, Or Should I concatenate the HTML within single quotes (single quotes are supposed to be faster in PHP than double quotes) and the display data as variables, and then ECHO that one concatenated string?

How To Return Just First-line From A Multi-line String Of Text?
I've been looking through the manual for string commands, and I haven't had success in determining the proper call for this, if there is one: Let's say I have a text string with hard-carriage returns in it: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road to the store and bought some eggs to bake a cake and serve dinner for all his friends." So if that string value is in "x", how can I tell it to return JUST the first line: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road"

Echo Multi-line Textbox Variable
I have a form that allows users to enter notes into a large textbox. After the form is submitted, the contents of the textbox are echoed out into a report. Below is an example of an entry: These are my notes. These notes doe not make any sense but it gets the point across. When I echo out this entry as a variable, the entry looks like this: These are my notes. These notes doe not make any sense but it gets the point across. I need to keep all of the notes just as they were entered on multiple lines. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Hide Specific Text
I was wondering whteher anybody knows a code to hide a specific text on a site which u cannot control. For Example, i am currently with a free hosting provider, and they put a simple text on my site saying "Free Web Hosting by something" Is there a way to hide this?. It is not on my actual coding for the page therefore i cannot remove it. I thought there might be a way to block this text or something. It can be a code of any sort like php, html, asp or whatever. I just need to hide this.
Formatting Text For A Specific Width
I have a text file that will be written to with data from end users (text datatype). The text document is formatted such that there is a column of text around 200px wide, set in the middle of the page. Is there a way I can (or function that will) format a string (perhaps a paragraph or two) so that it will fit in this text document? Mind that the string is not a constant - it is entered by end users so I can't exactly hard code. .
Append Text At End Of Existing Text On Same Line
I'm working on a part of my web site that uploads images, then writes the name of the image to a text file. The upload part works fine. The part that writes the name of the image to the text file works fine. What I'm trying to do is, after all the files have been uploaded and all of the image names have been written to the WriteTo.txt file, append a written description of the picture at the end of the picture name. In other words, after a user uploads their pictures to the server I want to direct them to a page where they can label each of the pictures using a form. PHP Code:
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". 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.

Line Return In Text Box
I have a text box where users type whatever. Anyways, I am using stripslashes() and posting the contents to mysql table as TEXT. Every where I have used br it echos the newline plus rn, which i assume is supposed to be with the slashes removed. So I don't have to input br everytime I press enter, how can I catch when the enter key is pressed and output a new line, like the way this forum is doing it?
Selecting A Line Of Text
I'm trying to display a bunch of lines of text one line at a time, like a code printout, and allow the user to select one of the lines by clicking on it. Obviously, the displaying part isn't so hard. But i'm not sure how to select and highlight a whole line with a single click, or how to figure out which line has been selected afterwards. How does one normally do something like this?

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?
All Text Email - How Do You Add Line-breaks?

How To Capture The First Line Of A Text, Then The Rest?
How can I cath the first line of a .txt file or whatever in PHP, using include("")? I need it for this, like, I'm thinking of doing a site with reviews on it, and I want to have one .php file for all the reviews. So that I can open a review using review.php?review_id=photoshop6 Im planning to have each review as one txt file, that I write "by hand" with the first line as the title. (If anyone knows of a better, smarter and faster way to do this, let me know, i'm new with PHP. With MySQL or whatever.) The script should first parse the first line of the .txt file and use that one for title, so i can use a different size of text for it, and then it should parse the rest of the file and use for body text.
Single PHP File - *.php = Process, *.phps = Source.
Hoping for some direction here (I have searched, without avail, for a solution already). I was toying with trying to find a way whereby I could have a single PHP file, and then specify whether to either see the processed output or the source code by using the extensions php and phps (respectively). So, with one file called "theFile.php" on the server, going to "www.server.com/theFile.php" would show the end result of the php actions, whereas going to "www.server.com/theFile.phps" would show the actual content of the file itself. I thought this could be done by modifying the htaccess file as follows: AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+).phps$ $1.php However this does not work: - if a *.php file exists, then accessing *.php or *.phps returns the end result of the php actions. - if a *.phps file exists, then accessing *.php returns a 404 error, and *.phps shows the actual file contents. Looking for any direction, references, or assistance.
