[SOLVED] fopen() Help

[Trium918]

This program is creating and writing to a file called

project4.txt, but now I am trying to read to entire file

so that it output would be some like a blog.

 

Example: Click Here!!!

 

<form method="POST">
<textarea name = "content" cols="100" rows="10">
</textarea><BR>
<input type = submit name="submit">
</form>

<?
$content = $_POST['content'];

@ $fp = fopen("project4.txt", "a");
  
  flock($fp, 2); 

  if (!$fp)
  {
    echo 'There is an error in this file!!';
    exit;
  } 

fwrite($fp, $content);
flock($fp, 3); 
fclose($fp);

?>

click the Example link to get an idea of what I am

talking about.

I clicked on the example. Is that what you're trying to do? Have you tried to write any code yet?

I wrote the code above

[Trium918]

My code accepts data from the user and enters

it into a text file called project4.txt, but I am trying to

get it to print output that is pulled from project4.txt.

The user is then able to post as many post as he are she

wants.

 

 

Yes I am trying to do what is in the example

Example: Click Here:

 

 

<form method="POST">
<textarea name = "content" cols="100" rows="10">
</textarea><br />
<input type = submit name="submit">
</form>

<?
$content = $_POST['content'];
$line = $_POST['line'];

@ $fp = fopen("project4.txt", "a");
  
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);
// readfile('project4.txt');
?>

One way to do this would be to use the file() function. This function will read the entire file into an array, then you just have to loop through the array and output the information. Perhaps something like this:

<?php
$info = file('project4.txt');
for ($i=0;$i<count($info);$i++) {
    echo nl2br(htmlentities(stripslashes(trim($info[$i])),ENT_QUOTES));
    echo '<hr>';
}
?>

Ok, I change my code. I would like for someone to

click on the links that I provided below. The first one

is where I need to be and the second one is where I am

now. You will noticed in the first Example the line brakes

after the user click submit but Example2 doesnt. My code

is Example2.

 

Example1: Click Here

Example2: Click Here

 

<form method="POST">
<textarea name = "content" cols="100" rows="10">
</textarea><br />
<input type = submit name="submit">
</form>

<?
$content = $_POST['content'];
$handle = $_POST['handle'];

@ $fp = fopen("project4.txt", "a");
 
fwrite($fp, $content);
$handle = @fopen("project4.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
  while (!feof($handle)) {
      $buffer = fgets($handle, 100);
      echo $buffer."<br>";
  }
  fclose($handle);
}
fclose($fp);
// readfile('project4.txt');

?>

Add a newline character to your fwrite() like this:

<?php
fwrite($fp, $content . "\r\n");
?>

Ken It works when I added the \r\n
