makeshift_theory Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 well you could make two php pages like so:[b]index.php[/b][code].....<body><form action="config.php" method="post">Change Ip to: <input type="text" name="ip"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit New Ip"></form>....</body>[/code][b]config.php[/b][code]<?if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {$ipfield = $_POST['ip'];echo "Current Ip is:" . $ipfield . ".";}?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21010-edit-configphp/#findComment-93279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Phelps Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 that is close but i want it to physically edit the file.so before edit[code]<?php$site_url= "http://127.0.0.1/";?>[/code]after edit[code]<?php$site_url= "http://192.168.0.100/";?>[/code]it is a config file for a script I'm working on Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21010-edit-configphp/#findComment-93289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshift_theory Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 That script would physically edit the file, it takes the ip from a input box and changes the variable on the config page. I may not be be completely understanding of what you need but I think from what you just posted it should work for your needs.

Ben Phelps Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 i need it to open the file change http://127.0.0.1/ to what ever the user inputs and save the file for later use, not just change the var. when the script is being used Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21010-edit-configphp/#findComment-93319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

makeshift_theory Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 use php.net as a reference for function usage. fopen, fwrite, and fclose open files write text ot files and close an active file.

GeorgeMoney Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You could use this script (untested).[code]<?phpif(isset($_POST['newip'])) {$newip = $_POST['newip'];$oldtext = file_get_contents('config.php');$newtext = preg_replace('/http:\/\/(.*)\//', "http://".$newip."/", $oldtext);$fp = fopen("config.php", "w");fwrite($fp, $newtext);fclose($fp);} else {?><form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'] ?>">IP: <input type="text" name="newip" /><br><input type="submit" value="submit" /></form><?php } ?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21010-edit-configphp/#findComment-93388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
