bbmak

Recommended Posts

This is the first time i use flat database

I am trying to read the file in my flatfile database, but i got this error "Notice: Undefined offset"

 

The Way I store in database

$time_id."|".$day."|" .$time. "|".$name."|".$email."|".$event."

so it will be like

2008-Jan-15_02:10:49PM|2008-01-19|6-7|Peter|Peter@peter.com|Test

 

 

However, when i read the data from database i got this ouput:

 

2008-Jan-15_03:41:56AM 2008-01-18 4-5 df dsfsadf 2008-Jan-15_02:10:49PM 2008-01-19 6-7 Peter Peter@peter.com Test

Well, you can test whether $line has anything in it - (it could just be the empty line at the bottom of the file) before you try and operate on it but you're still going to run into problems with multiple line comments in your textarea. They're going to be written to the file with all the line breaks preserved. Also what if someone types a '|' in the textarea? You're better off using some obscure delimiter like chr(254). Then again you're better off using mysql or something :)
