I am looking for suggestions and code samples to get a file and load it into a text area. Let me give a bit more of a detail. My code searches for a file, and with in that file there is a array for additional CSS files. I am looking for a way to get the CSS file to be loaded to a text-area once you click on a button. Every file contains this: $CSS = array(file.css); Now, how can I get: <a href="file.css">CSS</a> or <button onclick="myFunction()">CSS</button> To load here: <textarea id="filecontent" name="filecontent" cols="80" rows="10">".$filecontent."</textarea>

@Muddy_Funster Have a look at the code below. That is the output line of the code that I made. In the fourth line you will see a CSS file. I would like to be able to open and edit those files if they are available to the form. I have no idea how to approach it. <tr> <td class="form_select"><input id="select_all_form15" name="select_all_form15" type="checkbox" value="Forms" class="case" /></td> <td class="form_id">1334261250</td> <td class="form_url"><a href="/forms/hatternet/deland/email/index.php" target="_blank">Lifetime Email Request</a></td> <td class="form_autofill">HATTERNET</td> <td class="form_save">form.css</td> <td class="form_save"></td> <td class="form_save"></td> <td class="form_save"></td> <td class="form_dates"></td> </tr> Let me try to explain better My function did his job and search for the forms and it gives his output The output are the list of forms, some form have added files. In this case I am focusing on the CSS files Now my function can find those files. But I dont know how to open/edit them when I click on them if they are available. Someone told me to try to use fopen. what would your suggestion be?

Yeah, in this project I have to make the teachers(Admin) and the Students(Users). Once they log in they can view all the forms available, the teachers will be able to edit the forms and some of the files connected to it (CSS, JS, Spreadsheet...) Now what do you think?

Well I do like how my code is working so far. Now I want to add a way to split admin/users. And I would like to do it in the login page inside the if/else of the login.php. Where in this code below can I add a way to say user:drodrig1 == admin or user:jsutta == user. if ($mode == "login") { /// do after login form is submitted if ($USERS[$_POST["username"]]==$_POST["password"]) { /// check if submitted username and password exist in $USERS array $_SESSION["login"]=$_POST["username"]; header("location:index.php"); } else { echo "Incorrect username/password. Please, try again."; }; } else if ($mode == "logout") { session_start(); unset($_SESSION["login"],$USERS); header("location: login.php"); exit(0); }; After, inside the index.php, when the admin is logged in they can view and edit from the table of items below. Meanwhile the user can only view some of them. here is a link to my project /software/development/drodrig1/formationXX/

@Muddy_Funster Currently, yes that is my problem. Also don't make fun of me, I am trying my best to keep my composure.

@White_Liily I would like to take that approach but I dont have access to the database. And I really can't mame one.

I know I need to work with a database. But I am not that great with MySQL, also I don't really have access to them. Plus this is a small project I need to have ready in 2 weeks and I am already on week 2. 4 days to dead line.

1 What does the code do? Ok, let me see if I can do this better. Lets start from the login.php Login.php Its just a normal login page, user type the user and password and they gain access. At the moment any user(with valid password) will have access to everything. What I would like to do is a separation of admin and users, so that when they login they can have access to selected items. password.php This is where I verify if the user has a password. Also there is the function that checks if the users are logged in. config.php is just the url/paths for certain files. ex the Header and footer .php files that are basically the template files. In other words html>head>/head>body>div>content/div>/body/html> index.php (user view only, admin will view and edit ) emailForm.php, cssEdit.php, jsEdit.php, formCreate.php(Are other pages that I will create for admin use only) Here is where I will get the items(in this case available forms).Each item will have the following:checkbox, Id#, name(url), launch date, expiration date, css, js, email, pdf, spread sheet. The user that access this page can ONLY VIEW the following:checkbox, Id#, name(url), launch date, expiration date, email, pdf, spread sheet. While the admin can view and edit: checkbox, Id#, name(url), launch date, expiration date, css, js, email, pdf, spread sheet. This is also where the admin will have access to the other pages which include emailForm.php, cssEdit.php, jsEdit.php, formCreate.php. Now where are my issues 1. Getting a separation of admin and users (currently working on this) 2. Getting the items(Forms), the are available in a different folder. (Once issues #1 is complete) 3. When the items are collected, make sure that it will print out in the following format checkbox, Id#, name(url), launch date, expiration date, css, js, email, pdf, spread sheet. echo " <tr>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_select\"><input id=\"select-all_form1\" name=\"select_all_form1\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Forms\" class=\"case\" /></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_id\">" . $value . "</td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_url\"><a href=\"" . $key . "\" target=\"_blank\">" . $form_title . "</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_dates\">".$launchdate."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_dates\">".$expiredate."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_autofill\">".$filler."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_save\">".$css."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_save\">".$js."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_save\">".$email."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_save\">".$pdf."</a></td>\n"; echo " <td class=\"form_dates\">".$spread."</a></td>\n"; echo " </tr>\n"; I hope this gives a better explination.

@Muddy_Funster Dude!, how would you like me to approach it then?, I am new to this, and I am having a little problem with the logics.

I was trying something like this, but it didn't work $USERS["drodrig1"]['level'] = 0; $USERS["jsutta"]['level'] = 1; $USERS["username3"]['level'] = 0; if ($_GET['action'] === 'edit' && $USERS[$_SESSION["login"]]['level'] === 1) { // Go to function where users changes gets saved to files or db: saveChanges($_POST); } else { die("<h1>Sorry, you cant do that!</h1>"); }

I made a login/logout page, but now I i'll like to separate the admin from regular users as they login. What I am trying to do is to have **regular users** just view available files, and the **admins** well of course they will be able to view and edit those files. Now my set up: **Login**.php <?php session_start(); include("password.php"); require_once "config.php"; /* Constants */ $TITLE = "Formation - User Login"; $CSS = array("assets/css/formation.css"); $Javascript = array(); $mode = $_GET["mode"]; /* Template */ require_once $TEMPLATE_PATH."header.php"; if ($mode == "login") { /// do after login form is submitted if ($USERS[$_POST["username"]]==$_POST["password"]) { /// check if submitted username and password exist in $USERS array $_SESSION["login"]=$_POST["username"]; header("location:index.php"); } else { echo "Incorrect username/password. Please, try again."; }; } else if ($mode == "logout") { session_start(); unset($_SESSION["login"],$USERS); header("location: login.php"); exit(0); }; echo <<< XHTML <h1>$TITLE</h1> <form id="form" method="post" action="{$LOGIN_URL}?mode=login"> <label id="username_label" for="username" class="normal">Username</label> :<br /> <input id="username" name="username" type="text" value="" class="half" /><br /> <label id="password_label" for="password" class="normal">Password</label> :<br /> <input id="password" name="password" type="password" value="" class="half" /><br /> <input id="submits" type="submit" value="Login" /> </form> XHTML; require_once $TEMPLATE_PATH . "footer.php"; ?> **Password**.php (verifies users and passwords) <?php $USERS["drodrig1"] = "pwd1"; $USERS["jsutta"] = "pwd2"; $USERS["username3"] = "pwd3"; function check_logged(){ global $_SESSION, $USERS; if (!array_key_exists($_SESSION["login"],$USERS)) { header("Location: login.php"); exit(0); }; }; ?> **Config**.php <?php $ASSETS_URL = "[url="https://url-link/formationXX/assets/%22;"]https://url-link/for...ionXX/assets/";[/url] $ASSETS_PATH = "serverpath/formationXX/assets/"; $TEMPLATE_URL = "[url="https://url-link/formationXX/assets/template/%22;"]https://url-link/for...ets/template/";[/url] $TEMPLATE_PATH = "serverpath/formationXX/assets/template/"; $LOGIN_URL = "[url="https://url-link/formationXX/login.php%22;"]https://url-link/for...nXX/login.php";[/url] $LOGIN_PATH = "serverpath/formationXX/login.php"; ?> **Index**.php (After login, this is where I want to see admin differentiate from regular user. The admin should be able so see and edit the following: CSS, JS, Email, PDF and Spread Sheet. Meanwhile user can **only view** all except: CSS, JS) <?php require_once "config.php"; session_start(); /// initialize session include("password.php"); check_logged(); /// function checks if visitor is logged. /* Constants */ $TITLE = "Formation - User Login"; $CSS = array("assets/css/formation.css"); $Javascript = array(); /* Template */ require_once $TEMPLATE_PATH."header.php"; echo <<< XHTML <form id="form" method="post" action="{$LOGIN_URL}?mode=login"> <div class="full row column"> <h1>{$TITLE}</h1> </div> <div class="full row column"> <div class="half column small"> <p>Logged in as: <strong>{$_SESSION["login"]}</strong> | <a href="{$LOGIN_URL}?mode=logout" class="small">Logout</a></p><br /> Add Form | Delete Selected Form(s) </div> </div> <div class="full row column"> <table id="formslist" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <th> <tr> <td class="form_select"> <input id="selectallforms" name="selectallforms" type="checkbox" value="Select All Forms" /> </td> <td class="form_id"> ID </td> <td class="form_url"> URL </td> <td class="form_dates"> Launch Date </td> <td class="form_dates"> Expiration Date </td> <td class="form_autofill"> Autofill </td> <td class="form_save"> **CSS** </td> <td class="form_save"> **JS** </td> <td class="form_save"> Email </td> <td class="form_save"> PDF </td> <td class="form_dates"> Spread sheet </td> </tr> </th> </table> </div> </form> XHTML; require_once $TEMPLATE_PATH .
