a very simple file editor

[blueman378]

hi there,

im looking to grab a very simple file editor, all it has to do is open a said file (in text format) and read the contents into a text area, then i simple make the changes and click save and it saves them to that file,

e.g

___________________________

|Drop down box to open set files|

 

_____________________________________

|Text area for file to be read to                |

|                                                          |

|____________________________________|

 

___________

|save button|

I think you miss the point of this forum. We help you with problems in your code. If you need a script built for you post your request in the Freelance board.

 

Please read the Freelance Guidlelines before however doing so.

There are a fair amount of tutorials out there that you can adapt:

 

You could try something like this, (this hasn't been debugged so may need some tweaking)

 

  <?php
if ($_POST['Submit12'] == "Submit")
{
$file_name = "textfile.txt";
$open_file = fopen($file_name, "a+");
$file_contents= $_POST['title'] . '|' . $_POST['news'];
fwrite($open_file, $file_contents);
fclose($open_file);
echo "Form data successfully written to file";
}
?>

<form id="formname" name="formname" method="post" action="">
  
  Title:</span>
  <input type="text" name="title" />
  
    <textarea name="news" cols="85" rows="15" id="news">
  </textarea>

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

</form>

yeah sory i should have posted what im currently using:

 

<center><?php
$loadcontent = "textfile.txt";
    $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "r");
        $loadcontent = fread($fp, filesize($loadcontent));
        $loadcontent = htmlspecialchars($loadcontent);
        fclose($fp);
?>

<form method=post action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<textarea name="savecontent" cols="25" rows="10"><?=$loadcontent?></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="save_file" value="Save">  
</form>

<?php
    if($save_file) {
        $savecontent = stripslashes($savecontent);
        $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "w");
        if ($fp) {
            fwrite($fp, $savecontent);
            fclose($fp);
}
}
?>
</center>

 

this works im just looking for a way to have a dropdown box which contains a list of set files eg :

file1.txt

extra/file2.tx

links.txt

 

and then when the user selects it it writes that value to $loadcontent and refreshes the page so it loads that,

 

i really have no idea where to start for this ( i possibly could but its 11 at night and i cant really think lol

 

thanks for any help,

sorry,

<?php
include("../include/session.php");
/**
* User not an administrator, redirect to main page
* automatically.
*/
if(!$session->isAdmin()){ ?>
   <center><font color="red"<h3><i>ERROR</i>: Access Denied</h3></font>
Back to [<a href="../index.php">Main Page</a>]</center><?php
}
else{ ?>
<center>
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Select a file to edit:<br />
<select name="file">
<option value="../links.txt">Site Links</option>
<option value="../mainintro.txt">Main Intro</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"><br />
</form>
<?php } else {
$loadcontent = $_POST["file"];;
    $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "r");
        $loadcontent = fread($fp, filesize($loadcontent));
        $loadcontent = htmlspecialchars($loadcontent);
        fclose($fp);
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Select a file to edit:<br />
<select name="file">
<option value="../links.txt">Site Links</option>
<option value="../mainintro.txt">Main Intro</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"><br />
</form>
<form method=post action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<textarea name="savecontent" cols="70" rows="30"><?=$loadcontent?></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="save_file" value="Save">  
</form>

<?php
    if($save_file) {
        $savecontent = stripslashes($savecontent);
        $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "w");
        if ($fp) {
            fwrite($fp, $savecontent);
            fclose($fp);
}
}
}
?>
<?php } ?>
</center>

 

there is some extra code there simply to protect the page from someone who is not a admin using it

[blueman378]

ok heres the code

  <?php
/**
* User not an administrator, redirect to main page
* automatically.
*/
if(!$session->isAdmin()){ ?>
   <center><font color="red"><h3><i>ERROR</i>: Access Denied</h3></font>
Back to [<a href="../index.php">Main Page</a>]</center><?php
}
else{ ?>
<center>
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Select a file to edit:<br />
<select name="file">
<option value="../links.txt">Site Links</option>
<option value="../mainintro.txt">Main Intro</option>
<option value="adminlinks.txt">Admin Links</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"><br />
</form>
<?php } else {
$loadcontent = $_POST["file"];;
    $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "r");
        $loadcontent = fread($fp, filesize($loadcontent));
        $loadcontent = htmlspecialchars($loadcontent);
        fclose($fp);
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Select a file to edit:<br />
<select name="file">
<option value="../links.txt">Site Links</option>
<option value="../mainintro.txt">Main Intro</option>
<option value="adminlinks.txt">Admin Links</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"><br />
</form>
<form method=post action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<textarea name="savecontent" cols="70" rows="30"><?=$loadcontent?></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="save_file" value="Save">  
</form>

<?php
    if($save_file) {
        $savecontent = stripslashes($savecontent);
        $fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "w");
        if ($fp) {
            fwrite($fp, $savecontent);
            fclose($fp);
}
}
}
?>
<?php } ?>

 

now it opens the files alright, however the problem is that it doesnt save to the file when you click save any ideas why?
