forms, Post

[steply]

I've not been able to get an answer to the below elsewhere. So I have found may way here. This code posts to existing files although I need to:

 

a)Limit bytes written or added.

 

b) How to add the following to record the date in MySQL:

<input type="hidden" name="RetEdit" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+0 days")); ?>">

 

<?php

// umask to maintain file permissions during next procedure

umask(000);

$filename = $row_Recordset_rs['ReID'].'__r.txt';

$fullfilename=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/file3/".$filename;

if (file_exists($fullfilename)) {

if (isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['contents'])) {

if (is_writable($fullfilename)) {

if ($fp = fopen($fullfilename, 'wb')) {

$bytes = fwrite($fp, $_POST['contents']);

if ($bytes === false) {

echo "Error: could not write to file '{$fullfilename}'";

}

else {

echo "{$bytes} bytes written to file '{$fullfilename}'";

}

fclose($fp);

}

else {

echo "Error: could not open file '{$fullfilename}' for writing";

}

}

else {

echo "Error: file '{$fullfilename}' is not available for writing";

}

}

else {

if (is_readable($fullfilename)) {

echo '<form action= "' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '" method="post">'

. '<textarea name="contents" rows="15" cols="80">'

//for PHP 4.3.0 or newer, which this server has

. htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($fullfilename))

 

. '</textarea><br />'

. '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Q"></form>' ;

 

}

else {

echo "Error: could not open file '{$fullfilename}' for reading";

}

}

}

?>

With ref the above here are two example of hidden fiels with different date formats.

 

<form name="form1" method="post" action="your_script.php">

 

<p>

<input name="date in sql" type="hidden" id="date/in/sql" value="<?php echo date("n/j/Y g:i:s A"); ?>">

 

<input name="dateinrfcformat" type="hidden" id="date/in/rfc/format" value=" <?php echo date("r"); ?>">

</p>

<p>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

</p>

</form>

How could these be applied to my form?

 

RetEdit is mySQL table column

 

Form action "' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '"
