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


newbtophp

Recommended Posts

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...
