[SOLVED] generate .conf file using php and mysql

[srinivas6203]

i am doing website using php and mysql on Linux. I want to generate .conf file using php and mysql. i want to fetch values from database table and generate conf file.

Use file_put_contents to create and populate the .conf file, what you're trying to achieve is the same thing as displaying the data to the webpage (using echo or print) except your writing data to a file.

Woot wildteen88, nice one, never seen file_put_contents() before since it's somewhat new.

I've just been using fopen/fwrite/fclose which by the looks of things the OP will still need to use if they are still using PHP4

 

He is right though, just use file_put_contents() and instead of echo to the page, add everything into a variable and use that function. Make sure you add "\n" to the end of lines in any strings that need them.

Thanks for your reply friends. Can you send me scripts please.

No, but you can look at the PHP manual to learn how to use the functions.

I tried by the using of following script. But i got errors.

 

$path="var/www/files/";

$file=$path."test_file.txt";

$fp=fopen($file,"w");

//echo file_put_contents($file,"Hello World. Testing!");

fwrite($fp, 'sample data');

fclose($fp);

 

I got following errors:

 

Warning: fopen(var/www/files/test_file.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/admin/conf_changes.php on line 11

 

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /var/www/admin/conf_changes.php on line 13

 

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /var/www/admin/conf_changes.php on line 14

 

Please help me out.

how can i change file permissions

[srinivas6203]

Problem was solved by using following script. Thanx for every cooperation.

 

$dh="/var/www/admin/";

`sudo chmod 777 $dh`;

$file="test.txt";

$fullpath=$dh.$file;

`sudo chmod 777 $fullpath`;

$create_file=fopen($fullpath,"w+");

$stringData = 'sample';

fwrite($create_file, $stringData);

fclose($create_file);
