A (simple) question.
I have a TXT file search script in PHP.
$search = $_GET["search"];
$logfile = $_GET['logfile'];
// Read from file
$file = fopen($logfile, "r");
?> <head> <title>Searching: <?php echo $search ?></title> </head> <?php
while( ($line = fgets($file) )!= false)
{
if(stristr($line,$search)) // case insensitive
echo "<font face='Arial'> $line </font><hr>";
}
fclose($file);
Now what I want to do is delete all the text it finds in the TXT file.
I tried doing a str_replace but it didn't work.
Thanks for helping!
I think this will do the magic:
$file->ftruncate($file->ftell());
You need to gather the lines which doesn't contain the search term and you need to save the text in an array.
When you're done with the listing, you need to open the file in write mode (which will empty the file) and then write the text you gathered in the file.
Here's the code:
<?php
$search = isset($_GET["search"]) ? $_GET["search"] : '';
$logfile = isset($_GET['logfile']) ? $_GET['logfile'] : '';
$text_without_term_arr = array();
if(!empty($logfile) && !empty($search)){
// Read from file
$file = fopen($logfile, "r");
echo ' <head>
<title>Searching: ' . $search . '</title>
</head>';
while(($line = fgets($file))!== false){
if(stristr($line, $search)){
// Case insensitive search
echo '<font face="Arial">' . $line . '</font><hr/>';
} else {
// Search term not found in these lines
array_push($text_without_term_arr, $line);
}
}
fclose($file);
// Empty the file and write the text again without the search term
if(!empty($text_without_term_arr)){
$new_file = fopen($logfile, "w");
$content = implode("\n", $text_without_term_arr);
fwrite($new_file, $content);
fclose($new_file);
}
}
?>
You need another file handle to write the result out to:
$tempname=tmpname('/tmp','result');
$outfile=fopen($tempname,'w');
Next, use str_ireplace to remove the found text in each line:
$newline=str_ireplace($search, '', $line);
Then write the new line out to the out file:
fputs($outfile,$newline); // May need to send PHP_EOL too
Close the file off:
fclose($outfile);
And then rename the new file to the old filename:
rename($tempname,$logfile);

How to delete a line from the file with php?
(10 answers)
Closed last year.
i was wondering if it is posible to delete a single line in a txt file with php.
I am storing emailadresses in a flat txt file named databse-email.txt
I use this code for it:
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
$email = $_POST['email-subscribe'] . ',' . "\n";
$store = file_put_contents('database-email.txt', $email, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
if($store === false) {
die('There was an error writing to this file');
}
else {
echo "$email successfully added!";
}
}
?>
Form:
<form action="" method="POST">
<input name="email-subscribe" type="text" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe">
</form>
The content of the file looks like this:
janny#live.nl,
francis#live.nl,
harry#hotmail.com,
olga#live.nl,
annelore#mail.ru,
igor#gmx.de,
natasha#hotmail.com,
janny.verlinden#gmail.com,
All lines are , seperated
Lets say i want to delete only the emailadres: igor#gmx.de
How can i do that?
What i want to achieve is a unsubscribe form and delete a single line in the .txt file
You can use str_replace
$content = file_get_contents('database-email.txt');
$content = str_replace('igor#gmx.de,', '', $content);
file_put_contents('database-email.txt', $content);
Because of the way the filesystem works you can't do this in an intuitive way. You have to overwrite the file with all the lines except the one you want to delete, here's an example:
$emailToRemove = "igor#gmx.de";
$contents = file('database-email.txt'); //Read all lines
$contents = array_filter($contents, function ($email) use ($emailToRemove) {
return trim($email, " \n\r,") != $emailToRemove;
}); // Filter out the matching email
file_put_contents('database-email.txt', implode("\n", $contents)); // Write back
Here's a streaming alternative solution in the cases where the file does not fit in memory:
$emailToRemove = "igor#gmx.de";
$fh = fopen('database-email.txt', "r"); //Current file
$fout = fopen('database-email.txt.new', "w"); //New temporary file
while (($line = fgets($fh)) !== null) {
if (trim($line," \n\r,") != $emailToRemove) {
fwrite($fout, $line, strlen($line)); //Write to new file if needed
}
}
fclose($fh);
fclose($fout);
unlink('database-email.txt'); //Delete old file
rename('database-email.txt.new', 'database-email.txt'); //New file is old file
There is also a way to do this in-place to minimize extra disk needed but that is trickier.
You can do it programmatically which will just look over every line and if it not what you want to delete, it gets pushed to an array that will get written back to the file . Like below
$DELETE = "igor#gmx.de";
$data = file("database-email.txt");
$out = array();
foreach($data as $line) {
if(trim($line) != $DELETE) {
$out[] = $line;
}
}
$fp = fopen("database-email.txt", "w+");
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
foreach($out as $line) {
fwrite($fp, $line);
}
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);
first read the file using fopen and fget , and make array to list the emails you want to remove , use in_array to check if value exists in array , and then after remove unwanted emails save the file using fwrite and you need to close the file after the read and the write operations using fclose
checkout this code
$data = "";
$emailsToRemove = ["igor#gmx.de" , "janny#live.nl"];
//open to read
$f = fopen('databse-email.txt','r');
while ($line = fgets($f)) {
$emailWithComma = $line . ",";
//check if email marked to remove
if(in_array($emailWithComma , $emailsToRemove))
continue;
$data = $data . $line;
}
fclose($f);
//open to write
$f = fopen('databse-email.txt','w');
fwrite($f, $data);
fclose($fh);
for delete special word and next delete blank line try this:
$file = "file_name.txt";
$search_for = "example_for_remove";
$file_data = file_get_contents($file);
$pattern = "/$search_for/mi";
$file_data_after_remove_word = preg_replace($pattern, '', $file_data);
$file_data_after_remove_blank_line = preg_replace("/(^[\r\n]*|[\r\n]+)[\s\t]*[\r\n]+/", "\n", $file_data_after_remove_word);
file_put_contents($file,$file_data_after_remove_blank_line);
I need a help with replacing a word from a text file to a link using php
This is my code:
<?php
$search = 'google';
$lines = file('f.txt');
foreach($lines as $line)
{
if(strpos($line, $search) !== false)
echo $search."\n";
echo preg_replace('/google/', '<a href="http://www.google.com/'></a>',$lines);
}
}
?>
I have a little example coded up for you that will illustrate the general idea.
Replace a word
The $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable points to the current file.
if (isset($_GET['replace']) && $_GET['replace'] == 'yes') {
// Define filename
$filename = 'somefile.txt';
// Get file contents
$contents = file_get_contents($filename);
// Replace the word
$contents = str_replace('someword', 'replacewith', $contents);
// Write back to file
file_put_contents($filename, $contents);
}
I save to file data from form:
$name = $_POST['name'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$comm = $_POST['comm'];
$data["name"]=$name;
$data["url"]=$url;
$data["comm"]=$comm;
file_put_contents("db.txt", serialize($data));
Now, I would like to read this file record by record.
$file_handle = fopen("db.txt", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$line = fgets($file_handle);
$arr = unserialize($line);
var_dump($arr);
}
fclose($file_handle);
But this code read only last record. How to read all file?
Replace file_put_contents("db.txt", serialize($data)); to
file_put_contents("db.txt", PHP_EOL .serialize($data), FILE_APPEND);
file_put_contents("db.txt", serialize($data));// will over write the file again and again. so you cant able to read all the data. FILE_APPEND helps to append the data And PHP_EOL helps to leave a line breake.
Hi i try this code for your solution:
<?php
$name = "rdn";
$url = "http://google.it";
$comm = "com";
$data["name"]=$name;
$data["url"]=$url;
$data["comm"]=$comm;
file_put_contents("db.txt", serialize($data)."\n",FILE_APPEND);
$fh = fopen('db.txt','r');
while ($line = fgets($fh)) {
// <... Do your work with the line ...>
var_dump(unserialize($line));
}
fclose($fh);
?>
without "\n" don't work!
I am taking data from text file( data is: daa1 daa2 daa3 on separate lines) then trying to make folders with exact name but only daa3 folders is created. Also when i use integer it creates all folders, same is the case with static string i.e "faraz".
$file = __DIR__."/dataFile.txt";
$f = fopen($file, "r");
$line =0;
while ( $line < 5 )
{
$a = fgets($f, 100);
$nl = mb_strtolower($line);
$nl = "checkmeck/".$nl;
$nl = $nl."faraz"; // it works for static value i.e for faraz
//$nl = $nl.$a; // i want this to be the name of folder
if (!file_exists($nl)) {
mkdir($nl, 0777, true);
}
$line++;
}
kindly help
use feof function its much better to get file content also line by line
Check this full code
$file = __DIR__."/dataFile.txt";
$linecount = 0;
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$mainFolder = "checkmeck";
while(!feof($handle))
{
$line = fgets($handle);
$foldername = $mainFolder."/".trim($line);
//$line is line name daa1,daa2,daa3 etc
if (!file_exists($foldername)) {
mkdir($foldername, 0777, true);
}
$linecount++;
unset($line);
}
fclose($handle);
output folders
1countfaraz
2countfaraz
3countfaraz
Not sure why you're having trouble with your code, but I find it to be more straightforward to use file_get_contents() instead of fopen() and fgets():
$file = __DIR__."/dataFile.txt";
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
$lines = explode("\n", $contents);
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$nl = "checkmeck/". $line;
if (!file_exists($nl)) {
echo 'Creating file '. $nl . PHP_EOL;
mkdir($nl, 0777, true);
echo 'File '. $nl .' has been created'. PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo 'File '. $nl .' already exists'. PHP_EOL;
}
}
The echo statements above are for debugging so that you can see what your code is doing. Once it is working correctly, you can remove them.
So you get the entire file contents, split it (explode()) by the newline character (\n), and then loop through the lines in the file. If what you said is true, and the file looks like:
daa1
daa2
daa3
...then it should create the following folders:
checkmeck/daa1
checkmeck/daa2
checkmeck/daa3
I assume I'm using the fgets() wrong. I'm tring to open a PHP file and then try to match a line in that file with a variable I create. If the line does match then I want to write/insert PHP code to the file right below that line. Example:
function remove_admin(){
$findThis = '<tbody id="users" class="list:user user-list">';
$handle = #fopen("../../fns-control/users.php", "r"); // Open file form read.
if ($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) // Loop til end of file.
{
$buffer = fgets($handle, 479); // Read a line.
if ($buffer == '<tbody id="users" class="list:user user-list">') // Check for string.
{
Now I want to write PHP code to the file, starting on line 480. How can I do that?
Useful information may be: IIS 6 and PHP 5.2.
Try this:
<?php
function remove_admin(){
$path = "../../fns-control/users.php";
$findThis = '<tbody id="users" class="list:user user-list">';
$phpCode = '<?php echo \'hello world\'; ?>';
#Import file to string
$f = file_get_contents($path);
#Add in the PHP code
$newfile = str_replace($findThis, $findThis . $phpCode, $f);
#Overwrite the existing file
$x = fopen($path, 'w');
fwrite($x, $newfile);
fclose($x);
}
