saariko Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, As this is my first post here, I hope I can get the help I need. I am looking for a page/form to be able to edit one of our redirecting tables. Basiclly, we have a page: convert.php where the value entered in page=XXX , is getting redirected to an alternate page. The convert.php is: <?php #The address is: # it will use the variable "source" from the calling page. # please keep the table clean as possible #http://wwww.domain.com/convert.php?source= $redirecting_from=$_GET['source']; if($redirecting_from == "youtube"){ Header("Location: http://www.youtube.com/"); } elseif($redirecting_from == "cnn"){ Header("Location: http://www.cnn.com/"); } elseif($redirecting_from == "help_en"){ Header("Location: http://wwww.domain.com/Help/en/"); } elseif($redirecting_from == "test"){ Header("Location: http://wwww.domain.com/wszsmf"); } elseif($redirecting_from == "staff"){ Header("Location: http://wwww.domain.com/rxscwb"); } elseif($redirecting_from == "brochure"){ Header("Location: http://www.domain.com/files/2008Brochure_lowres.pdf"); } elseif($redirecting_from == ""){ Header("Location: "); }else { Header("Location: http://www.domain.com/"); } I want to give my users the ability to edit the name=value pairs, so they can do it on their own. They do not have access to my root, so the only/best option will be give them some php form to do it. Thanks p.s. After reading this, it looks like homework, well, it isn't.

premiso Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You can have a form, where you tell a user to enter the "keyword" and "url" with a comma seperated on each line. IE: (Text area) cnn, http://www.cnn.com help_en, http://www.domain.com/Help/En/ etc. Then just access these via the database, explode at the comma then run through that if for the user. Just be wary, this can be problematic if a user wants it to be. I would do some heavy checks on what is inputted in that form etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saariko Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 So I may have 3 files than values.inc (a simple text file, each entry is a line with comma) name1, url1 name2, url2 name3, url3 form.php to populate (might want to limit with regex to characers and number only, no special chars) and convert.php can simple go over the values.inc and take the second value. cheers, will try to work on that.

saariko Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just to let everyone know, I have solved this, please find the 3 files I use: 1. the values page is a comma seperated pair file. 2. the process page <?php // Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get // the HTML source of a URL. $lines = file('values.inc'); // Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too. foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { $pair = split (',' , $line); if ($pair[0] == $_GET['id']) Header("Location: " . $pair[1]); } the 3rd file, which does the work (and can be tweaked more) <html> <body> <?php $short = $_POST['shortname']; $redirect = $_POST['redirect']; ?> <form action="editlink.php" method="post"> <p>short name <input type="text" name="shortname" /><br /> re-direct to: COMPLETE ADDRESS PLEASE.<input type="text" name="redirect" /></p> For example:<br> short = help_en<br> re-direct = http://www.site.com/Help/en <br> The example gives you the option to use: http://www.site.com/pid.php?id=[sHORTVALUE]<br> and it will redirect you the the long url.<br> <p><input type="submit" value="Send it!"></p> </form> <?php $lines = file('values.inc'); $newval = true; echo "<P><B>You can send the first URL to the customer</B> <BR>"; foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { $pair = split (',' , $line); echo "http://www.site.com/pid.php?id=" . $pair[0] . "\t --> <a href='" . $pair[1] ."'>" . $pair[1] . " </a><BR>"; if ($pair[0] == $short) $newval = false; } if ( !empty($short) && $newval ) { $MyFile = fopen('values.inc', 'a+'); fwrite($MyFile, $short . "," . $redirect . "\n"); fclose($MyFile); $newval = false; } ?> </body> </html> Cheers, and thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
