[SOLVED] Help With adding and deleteing from a file

g7psj · July 11, 2007

Hi all im a bit new to php

I am trying to add to a php file called dates.php from a html form page in the following format.

Date,TimeFrom,TimeTo,Destination

20071019,0815,1630,TTraining.php

20071022,0815,1630,Holiday.php

Basicaly its a file used by Voicexml on a linux based phone system to determin the destination of a call on a specific date which needs to be in a csv format..

I have the HTML page with a form which posts the results to a submit.php page the php page adds to a file called dates.php

However i cannot get it to format it as above all i get is:

Date,TimeFrom,TimeTo,Destination

20071019,0815,1630,TTraining.php

20071022,0815,1630,Holiday.php

2007

01

, 0800

, 1800

, Night.php

Here is the code from the html page

<html>

<head>

</head>

</select></p>

<p align="center">Month: <select size="1" name="M1">

</select></p>

</select></p>

<p align="center">TimeFrom: <input type="Text" name="T1" size="4"></p>

<p align="center">TimeTo: <input type="Text" name="T2" size="4"></p>

<option selected>Night.php</option>

<option>TTraining.php</option>

<option>Holiday.php</option>

<option>BankHoliday.php</option>

<option>ClosedAdverse.php</option>

<option>ClosedEmergency.php</option>

</select></p>

<br />

</form>

</body>

</html>

And here is the code from the submit.php

<?php

$d1 = $_POST['D1'];$m1 = $_POST['M1'];$y1 = $_POST['Y1'];$t1 = $_POST['T1'];$t2 = $_POST['T2'];$p1 = $_POST['P1'];

$filename = "dates.php";

$content = "$y1\n $m1\n $d1\n, $t1\n, $t2\n, $p1\n";

$fp = fopen($filename, "a");

$fw = fwrite( $fp, $content );

fclose( $fp );

?>

I also want to be able to delete a date from the file as well but for now if anyone could help me get the add format correct that would be great.

Thanks in advance

$content = "$y1,$m1,$d1,$t1,$t2,$p1\n";

You're adding new lines in the middle.

Fantastic It works

Ok next question is there a way i can display the content of the dates.php file in the html page

and is there a way i can remove a line from it

Thank Yesideez

What does dates.php contain?

You can include php files inside others by using something like this:

include("file.php");

Thanks

The dates.php file contains

// Special dates yyyymmdd,hhmm(start),hhmm(end),scriptName

20070720,1300,1630,Holiday.php

20070723,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070724,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070725,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070726,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070727,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070730,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070731,0815,1630,Holiday.php

20070801,0815,1630,Holiday.php

The only prob is its within an html page

i cant quite work out the what script needs to go ether side of

include("file.php");

Sorry im so new to this still learning

Thanks for your help its great

<?php

$lines = file('dates.php');
$POSTDATE = $_POST["dateinput"];
// Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too.
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    list($date, $timeone, $timetwo, $scriptname) = explode(",", $line);
if($date == $POSTDATE)
{
	echo "";
}
else
{
	echo "Date: ".$date."<br>";
	echo "Departure Time: ".$timeone."<br>"; // I assume 
	echo "Arrival Time: ".$timetwo."<br>";
	echo "Script: ".$scriptname."<br>"; // Dunno if you really need this, but what the hell
}
}

?>

Fantastic that lists the file

I tried just pasting this in to the html page

<html>
<head>
<title>Send</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FF0000" link="#FF0000" vlink="#FF0000">
<?php

$lines = file('dates.php');
$POSTDATE = $_POST["dateinput"];
// Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too.
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    list($date, $timeone, $timetwo, $scriptname) = explode(",", $line);
if($date == $POSTDATE)
{
	echo "";
}
else
{
	echo "Date: ".$date."<br>";
	echo "Departure Time: ".$timeone."<br>"; // I assume 
	echo "Arrival Time: ".$timetwo."<br>";
	echo "Script: ".$scriptname."<br>"; // Dunno if you really need this, but what the hell
}
}

?> 

<form name="subscribe" action="submit.php" method="post">

<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Day: <select size="1" name="D1">
<option selected>01</option>
<option>02</option>
<option>03</option>
<option>04</option>

i created a file called showdates.php with that script in and that lists it fine
