[SOLVED] Remotely editing a php file within another php file.

[newbtophp]

Im trying to code a snippet which will display a php file, which can then be edited within another webpage. I've completed it accept, it has a few flaws, once you edit the code the page exploads and messes up, and when you come back to the code inbetween each code I see \ dashes.

 

Heres my code.php (which edits text.php):

 

<?
if($_POST['Submit']){
$open = fopen("text.php","w+");
$text = $_POST['update'];
fwrite($open, $text);
fclose($open);
echo "File updated.<br />";
echo "File:<br />";
$file = file("text.php");
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text."<br />";
}
echo "<p><a href=\"./text.php\" target=_blank>click here to view the updated file</a></p>";
}else{
$file = file("text.php");
echo "<form action=\"".$PHP_SELF."\" method=\"post\">";
echo "<textarea Name=\"update\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\">";
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text;
}
echo "</textarea>";
echo "<BR><input name=\"Submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Update\" />\n
</form>";
}
?>

 

Is their a way to continue what im doing but remove the demo of the file edited (so the page dont expload), and remove it from showing dashes.

 

Heres the live demo (for you to test):

your probably have to URL encode your $_POST['update'] text and then go ahead and unencode it when you write it to the php file....

 

<?php
if($_POST['Submit']){
$open = fopen("text.php","w+");
$text = $_POST['update'];
fwrite($open, urldecode($text));
fclose($open);
echo "File updated.<br />";
echo "File:<br />";
$file = file("text.php");
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text."<br />";
}
echo "<p><a href=\"./text.php\" target=_blank>click here to view the updated file</a></p>";
}else{
$file = file("text.php");
echo "<form action=\"".$PHP_SELF."\" method=\"post\">";
echo "<textarea Name=\"update\" id=\"phpCode\"cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\">";
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text;
}
echo "</textarea>";
echo "<BR><input name=\"Submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Update\" onClick=\"document.getElementById('phpCode').value = escape(document.getElementById('phpCode').value)\"/>\n
</form>";
}
?>

 

Try That...

Its better, the code doesnt show any dashes anymore so thats great:

But the preview still shows, on the main page even though theirs a link to preview in a new tab.

 

Any idea on how to remove the preview on the main page?  :-\

<?php
if($_POST['Submit']){
$open = fopen("text.php","w+");
$text = $_POST['update'];
fwrite($open, urldecode($text));
fclose($open);
echo "File updated.<br />";
/* 
This Section displays the file's contents... look into file() on php.net for more details on how it works...
echo "File:<br />";
$file = file("text.php");
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text."<br />";
}
*/
echo "<p><a href=\"./text.php\" target=_blank>click here to view the updated file</a></p>";
}else{
$file = file("text.php");
echo "<form action=\"".$PHP_SELF."\" method=\"post\">";
echo "<textarea Name=\"update\" id=\"phpCode\"cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\">";
foreach($file as $text) {
echo $text;
}
echo "</textarea>";
echo "<BR><input name=\"Submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Update\" onClick=\"document.getElementById('phpCode').value = escape(document.getElementById('phpCode').value)\"/>\n
</form>";
}
?>
