How to create a file based on Database Values? - php

Question

I want to create a .INI file based on the values I get from database.
This are the values in my database for :
Now in the field parameter filed is the value i want to write in file each in new line.
I fetch the values like this:
$this->data['params'] = $this->parameter_m->get();
So I get all the values from the table.
I want to write values in file like this:
[INIDetails]
SipUserName=
Password=
Domain=
Proxy=
Port=
SipAuthName=
DisplayName=
ServerMode=
UCServer=
UCUserName=
UCPassword=
[DialPlan]
DP_Exception=
DP_Rule1=
DP_Rule2=
[Advanced]
OperationMode=
MutePkey=
Codec=
PTime=
AudioMode=
SoftwareAEC=
EchoTailLength=
PlaybackBuffer=
CaptureBuffer=
JBPrefetchDelay=
JBMaxDelay=
SipToS=
RTPToS=
LogLevel=
I have WRITE Function that writes into file
function write($file = NULL, $file_content = array(), $sections = TRUE) {
$this->file_content = (!empty($file_content)) ? $file_content : $this->file_content;
$this->file = ($file) ? $file : $this->file;
$this->sections = $sections;
$content = NULL;
if ($this->sections) {
foreach ($this->file_content as $section => $file_content) {
$content .= '[' . $section . ']' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($file_content as $key => $val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
foreach ($val as $v) {
$content .= $key . '[]=' . (is_numeric($v) ? $v : $v ) . PHP_EOL;
}
} elseif (empty($val)) {
$content .= $key . '=' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
$content .= $key . '=' . (is_numeric($val) ? $val : $val ) . PHP_EOL;
}
}
$content .= PHP_EOL;
}
} else {
foreach ($this->file_content as $key => $val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
foreach ($val as $v) {
$content .= $key . '[] = ' . (is_numeric($v) ? $v : '"' . $v . '"') . PHP_EOL;
}
} elseif (empty($val)) {
$content .= $key . ' = ' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
$content .= $key . ' = ' . (is_numeric($val) ? $val : '"' . $val . '"') . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
return (($handle = fopen($this->file, 'w+')) && fwrite($handle, trim($content)) && fclose($handle)) ? TRUE : FALSE;
}
And i use that function like this :
$path = "./uploads/";
$filename = "default.ini";
$this->load->helper('file');
$file = $path.$filename;
$this->load->library('ini');
$ini = new INI($file);
$ini->write($file, $this->data['params']);
So i how to write the array of values i get from database into file ?
As you can see there is a filed called Parameter_Type i want to set it as section in INI file.

I'm guessing that your parameter_m is your model which have get() function where it returns array values from your table. What I think, the problem is that your model return incorrect structure of your array. Your array should have structure like:
array(
"parameter_type" => array(
"parameter" => value
)
)
in your model's get function, there should be something like:
class parameter_m extends CI_Model {
public function get()
{
$query = $this->db->get('your_parameter_table');
$assoc_arr = array();
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
$assoc_arr[$row->parameter_type][$row->parameter] = '';
}
return $assoc_arr;
}
}
Using the get() it should output:
array(
"INIDetails" => array(
"SipUserName" => '',
"Password" => '',
"Domain" => '',
"Proxy" => '',
"Port" => '',
"SipAuthName" => '',
"DisplayName" => '',
"ServerMode" => '',
"UCServer" => '',
"UCUserName" => '',
"UCPassword" => ''
),
"DialPlan" => array(
"DP_Exception" => '',
"DP_Rule1" => '',
"DP_Rule2" => ''
),
"Advanced" => array(
"OperationMode" => '',
"MutePkey" => '',
"Codec" => '',
"PTime" => '',
"AudioMode" => '',
"SoftwareAEC" => '',
"EchoTailLength" => '',
"PlaybackBuffer" => '',
"CaptureBuffer" => '',
"JBPrefetchDelay" => '',
"JBMaxDelay" => '',
"SipToS" => '',
"RTPToS" => '',
"LogLevel" => ''
)
);
