Ok, so tell me if this looks right. I think the $pgnfile variable is wrong because I don't know how to call the form variable into the php script. Is everything else right? <form name="convertpgn" method="post"> //I did not include an action page because I want it to be a self-posting form. Is this correct syntax then? <table> <tr> <td> <input type="text" name="pgnfile" /> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type="reset" value="Clear" name="reset" /> </td> <td> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <br /> <br /> <?php $filename = $pgnfile; //trying to call the variable 'pgnfile' from the form above $string = file_get_contents('$filename'); $output = preg_replace('~{.*}~U', '', $string); $newfile = "$pgnfile.converted"; //trying to append the word converted to the old filename file_put_contents($newfile, $output); echo file_get_contents('$newfile'); ?>

GENIUS! How can I change that to take a file and output a NEW file. Say test.txt will parse, then output as text2.txt in the same directory? I ask because this file will change and I am not sure the contents.

Can someone help me? I am trying to parse a TXT file to remove a certain string of characters. Here is the file's contents: [Event "FICS rated standard game"] [site "FICS"] [FICSGamesDBGameNo "232678145"] [White "escarra"] [black "elivija"] [WhiteElo "1577"] [blackElo "1756"] [TimeControl "300+15"] [Date "2009.08.31"] [WhiteClock "0:05:00.000"] [blackClock "0:05:00.000"] [ECO "C84"] [PlyCount "81"] [Result "0-1"] 1. e4 {[%emt 0.0]} e5 {[%emt 0.0]} 2.

Hello, I am hoping to get some help updating a new database with some information, and then creating a PHP script that will query the database using simple SELECT. I understand query syntax (for the most part), but what I don't get is how to setup the database. I have a website that is hosted by a webhosting company that supports MySQL. I created a database, named it, and created 2 users. One has all privileges, and one has only SELECT privileges. I have an excel spreadsheet that has two tabs. I would like each tab to be its own table. The first tab has a unique field I want to use as the Primary Key. Same thing for the Second tab. My question is, how do I get all of this info into the db I created? The company has cpanel, and from there I can go to "MySQL Databases" which just shows me my dbs, "MySQL Database Wizard" which just sets it up and sets up a user, "MyphpAdmin" which looks like where I need to be?, and "Remote MySQL" which I don't what it does. What's the first step in setting this up? I started to go into MyphpAdmin and create a table and specified the number of fields, but then it asked a billion questions about each field: Field Type Length/Values Collation Attributes Null Default2 Extra, and then there are 3 checkboxes for Primary, Index and Unique. There is also a separate tab called import. Do I need to set this table up before I can import that data? Thanks for any help you give guys,
