[SOLVED] Using php to echo mysql rows.

[whelpton]

Okay, essentially I am trying to:

 

Take usernames from a mysql database & echo certain variables contained in their profiles. I have got this part pretty much sorted, now; what I need to figure out is how to not echo a user that has a certain word in their profile. For example:

 

The username VincentWhite will not display if their included file says Default Name.

 

This might seem confusing, so heres the code that I'm using, it might be easier to figure out whats wrong with the code than listening to me give a bad explanation.

 

			$check echo '/home/alport/public_html/'.$row['Username'].'/text/name.txt';
		if ($check == 'Default Name');

{}else{

echo '';
exit;

}
		echo '<h2>';
		include '/home/alport/public_html/'.$row['Username'].'/text/name.txt';}}
		echo '</h2>';
		if ($_POST['Username'] = $row['Username']){echo '';}
		echo '';

You could use strpos

 

$profileTXT = file_get_contents('/home/alport/public_html/'.$row['Username'].'/text/name.txt');

if(!strpos($profileTXT, 'Default User'))
{
   echo 'Display profile here';
}
else
{
    echo 'do someting else, Default User present in file';
}

Thanks, just what I was looking for.

Actually, that dosnt seem to work. Is there a possibility that File_get_contents can be disabled on certain servers? That function never seems to work for me.

 

And is there any other way of doing it?

Never Mind, I fixed it using:

if ($profileTXT == "Default Name")
{
   echo 'Epic Fail';
}
else
{
    echo '<h2>';
		include '/home/alport/public_html/'.$row['Username'].'/text/name.txt';}}
		echo '</h2>';
		if ($_POST['Username'] = $row['Username']){echo '';}
		echo '';
}

 

But, does anyone know if filegetcontents can be disabled on certain servers? This is really bugging me now.
