Echo

[hilda]

I am trying to use a echo statement and push out a link. I am not sure how to do this but I figured I would post on here and ask.

 

<?PHP

 

$filename = "file.txt"; #Must CHMOD to 666

$text = $_POST['action']; # Form must use POST. if it uses GET, use the line below:

#$text = $_GET['theformfieldname']; #POST is the preferred method

 

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents

if ($fp) {

fwrite ($fp, $text);

stripslashes($text);

fclose ($fp);

echo ("I would like to put an HTML Page or code in here." );

}

else {

echo ("I would like to put an HTML Page or code in here");

}

 

?>

 

 

Any help would great.

I don't quite get what you're asking. =P

If you're talking about uploading a file and naming it, then outputting the file as a link, then you would have to output the path you copied the file to to an "<a href='path'>[Link]</a tag.  Should be as simple as that.

No as of now after it writes to that txt file it echos says "thank you blah blah" I want it to either bring me to another page or echo out a link to click back etc...

 

Is that possible?

Use header() to redirect.

 

 

header('Location http://www.example.com/otherpage.php');

 

[/php

Sorry but do i use that in the echo statement or in it's place?

 

[darkfreaks]

you can create a file called thankyou.html have it display a message, then have the PHP code redirect there

[hilda]

I understand but within the echo code. I tried that an it only displayed the link. I am not sure how to get the page to redirect to that?

<?PHP

$filename = "file.txt"; #Must CHMOD to 666
$text = $_POST['action']; # Form must use POST. if it uses GET, use the line below:
#$text = $_GET['theformfieldname']; #POST is the preferred method

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents
if ($fp) {
fwrite ($fp, $text);
stripslashes($text);
fclose ($fp);
header('Location http://www.example.com/otherpage.php');
}
else {
header('Location http://www.example.com/otherpage2.php');
}

?>

<?php

$filename = "file.txt"; #Must CHMOD to 666
$text = $_POST['action']; # Form must use POST. if it uses GET, use the line below:
#$text = $_GET['theformfieldname']; #POST is the preferred method

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents
if ($fp) {
fwrite ($fp, $text);
stripslashes($text);
fclose ($fp);
header('Location http://www.example.com/otherotherpage.php');
}
else {
header('Location http://www.example.com/otherpage.php');
}

?>

 

Not within the echo, replace the echo code with it.

Why are you usinf stripslashes after the fwrite() function?

[hilda]

Ok so i used the code below and still no dice. It uploads the data but wont redirect me to that page. Not sure what is the issue but I do know it's driving me nuts  ??? I have tried to do some research before bothering your all but I am at a stand still. Any help would be great.

 

 

<?php

 

$filename = "file.txt"; #Must CHMOD to 666

$text = $_POST['action']; # Form must use POST. if it uses GET, use the line below:

#$text = $_GET['theformfieldname']; #POST is the preferred method

 

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents

if ($fp) {

fwrite ($fp, $text);

fclose ($fp);

header('Location http://www.example.com/otherotherpage.php');

}

else {

header('Location http://www.example.com/otherpage.php');

}

 

?>

Please tell me that you changed http://www.example.com/otherpage.php to what you wanted!!??

[revraz]

It should be

 

header('Location: http://www.example.com/otherotherpage.php');

 

missing the colon.

[hilda]

LOL Yes I did change it to the location that I wanted. I know the page is live as well. i can go directly to it.

[gevans]

Awsome!! in which case check out revraz's post...

 

It should be

 

header('Location: http://www.example.com/otherotherpage.php');

 

missing the colon.
