How to write a ini file in PHP codeigniter? - php

Question

Hi I want to write a ini file into php.
first i upload a ini file to my server then i edit it,
i want to make some changes in parameters then want save that file back to uploads.
I used put_file_contents and fwrite but didn't get required result.
this is my code:
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
foreach ($data as $info)
{
$filepath = $info['file_path'];
$filename= $info['file_name'];
}
$this->data['parameters'] = parse_ini_file($filepath.$filename);
$insert = array(
'OTAID' => $this->input->post('OTAID'),
'SipUserName' => $this->input->post('SipUserName') ,
'SipAuthName' => $this->input->post('SipAuthName'),
'DisplayName' => $this->input->post('DisplayName'),
'Password' => $this->input->post('Password'),
'Domain' => $this->input->post('Domain'),
'Proxy' => $this->input->post('Proxy'),
'ServerMode' => $this->input->post('ServerMode')
);
$this->load->helper('file');
$file =fopen($filepath.$filename,'w');
fwrite($file,implode('', $insert));
$this->data['subview'] = 'customer/upload/upload_success';
$this->load->view('customer/_layout_main', $this->data);

Answer 1

As I told you in the last question you will need to use a helper function to turn the array into the right format for an ini-file. You can find such a helper-function here.
Also you are loading the file-helper from codeigniter but using the php built-in methods. Please have a look to the docs here.

Something akin the following might work:
//Replace the fwrite($file,implode('', $insert)); with
$iniContent = "";
foreach ($insert as $key => $value) {
$initContent .= $key."=".$value.PHP_EOL;
}
fwrite($file,$iniContent);
Note: This is probably the simplest thing one can do. I doesn't deal with sections or comments or escape characters or basically any sort of error checking. If you expect this sort of thing to be done a lot in your code I suggest you look into existing INI reading/writing libraries.
Update
Try http://pear.php.net/package/Config_Lite or http://pear.php.net/package/Config as suggested at create ini file, write values in PHP (which also has a lot more information to look at for this particular issue).
