"PHP Help"

I'm fiddling about with my site at the moment and I want to be able to get a few little things working using PHP.

All I want is a basic script that allows information that is submitted through a text box to appear on the site.

When I say basic I mean basic as in monkey_man's old chat scripts he used to have on his site.

Anybody know of any basic tutorials that could explain how to do this?

I've got a feint idea of what to do, just not how to do it!

Thanks.

Could be this.

$File = "rightframe.txt";
if (file_exists($File)) {
$fp = fopen($File, "r");
flock($fp, 1); # Lock the File.

while (! feof($fp)) {
$Line = fgets($fp, 1024);
print "$Line
\n";
}

flock($fp, 3); # Release the File Lock.
fclose($fp);
} else {
print "

Can't include the text, file doesn't exist or
can't be opened.

\n";
}
?>

I can't find anywhere on the web that explains it either...

I'll find something.

P.S

You know too much!

:c)

Just doing it from memory ... :)

Nope, that shows nothing up.

Are you writing these codes yourself or do you have a little archive?

Try:

$File = "rightframe.txt";
if (file_exists($File)) {
$fp = fopen($File, "r");
flock($fp, 1); # Lock the File.
$Content = file($fp);
flock($fp, 3); # Release the File Lock.
fclose($fp);

foreach ($Content as $Temp) {
$Temp = stripslashes($Temp);
print $Temp."
\n";
}
} else {
print "

Can't include the text, file doesn't exist or
can't be opened.

\n";
}
?>

$File = "rightframe.txt";
if (file_exists($File)) {
$fp = fopen($File, "r");
flock($fp, 1); # Lock the File.
$Content = fread($fp, filesize($File));
$Content = stripslashes($Content);
flock($fp, 3); # Release the File Lock.
fclose($fp);
str_replace("\n", "
", $Content);
print "$Content\n";
} else {
print "

Can't include the text, file doesn't exist or can't be opened.

\n";
}
?>

Like that?

If so it still displays the text in one line...

http://members.lycos.co.uk/phi11ip/mainpage.php is the page I'm working with, you can see the text in a line in the middle of the page.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/phi11ip/mainframe.txt is the file it comes from.

Before the print command, use this:

For HTML:
str_replace("\n", "
", $Content);

For xHTML:
str_replace("\n", "
", $Content);

Oh, and this is the code I'm using to show the txt on the main page.

$File = "main.txt";
if (file_exists($File)) {
$fp = fopen($File, "r");
flock($fp, 1); # Lock the File.
$Content = fread($fp, filesize($File));
$Content = stripslashes($Content);
flock($fp, 3); # Release the File Lock.
fclose($fp);

print "$Content\n";
} else {
print "

Can't include the text, file doesn't exist or can't be opened.

\n";
}
?>

Nearly there!

How do I get it to display the text on seperate lines when I include it on the page?

At the moment it just comes as a big long line of text even though it's stored as seperate lines in the txt file.

Thanks, again in advance!

That made no sense...

It does work.
