I want to use fwrite to save data into a .txt file. The action method seems to be working, as it can show HTML tags when being transfered when pressing submit, but i wont run the PHP.
<HTML lang="da">
<style>
</style>
<header>
<title>Tilføj</title>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
</header>
<body>
<form method="post" action="eksamen_save_data.php" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<fieldset>
<legend>Filmoplysninger</legend>
<div><label>Titel: <input type="text" name="titel" id="titel" required="required" size="60" maxlength="100"></label></div>
<div><label>Hovedskuespiller: <input type="text" name="hovedskuespiller" id="hovedskuespiller" required="required" size="30" maxlength="100"></label></div>
<div><label>Genre: <input type="text" name="genre" id="genre" required="required" size="60" maxlength="100"></label></div>
<div><label>Format: <input type="text" name="format" id="format" required="required" size="60" maxlength="100"></label></div>
<div><label>Billede: <input type="file" name="billede" id="billede" required="required"></label></div>
</fieldset>
<div><input type="submit" id="ok" value="OK"></div>
</form>
</body>
This sends it to the "eksamen_save_data.php" that looks like this:
<?php
$Titel = $_POST["titel"];
$Hovedskuespiller = $_POST["hovedskuespiller"];
$Genre = $_POST["genre"];
$Format = $_POST["format"];
//$Billede = $_FILES["billede"]["navn"];
//if($_FILES){
// move_uploaded_file($_FILES["billed"]["navn"], $_FILES["billed"]["navn"]);
//}
$user_data = "$Titel, $Hovedskuespiller, $Genre, $Format, $Billede \r\n";
$fh = fopen("data.txt", "a") or die("Fejl i åbning af fil!");
fwrite($fh, $user_data) or die ("Fejl i skrivning til fil!");
fclose($fh);
?>
If i write some HTML in the "eksamen_save_data.php" i can show this, but it wont run the PHP. I'm using XAMPP.
The problem is that it wont save to the "data.txt" file as i tell the PHP to do.
Another question; is there also a way, I can make the PHP run in the same file as where I have my fieldset?
LAST EDIT:
Most of the time it's the little mistakes that proves to be the biggest problem. For me i personally forgot to use: localhost/eksamen_tilføj.php in the browser.
So it was me making a mistake in XAMPP.
Use file_put_contents
file_put_contents("data.txt", $user_data, FILE_APPEND);
It does all the jobs like file open, write and close. Advantage is if the file does not exist then it will create.
Find full working code
<?php
$Titel = $_POST["titel"];
$Hovedskuespiller = $_POST["hovedskuespiller"];
$Genre = $_POST["genre"];
$Format = $_POST["format"];
$Billede = $_FILES["billede"]["name"];
// Example of accessing data for a newly uploaded file
$fileName = $_FILES["billede"]["name"];
$fileTmpLoc = $_FILES["billede"]["tmp_name"];
// Path and file name
$pathAndName = "upload/".$fileName;
// Run the move_uploaded_file() function here
$moveResult = move_uploaded_file($fileTmpLoc, $pathAndName);
// Evaluate the value returned from the function if needed
if ($moveResult == true) {
echo "File has been moved from " . $fileTmpLoc . " to" . $pathAndName;
} else {
echo "ERROR: File not moved correctly";
}
$user_data = "$Titel, $Hovedskuespiller, $Genre, $Format, $Billede \r\n";
file_put_contents("data.txt", $user_data, FILE_APPEND);
?>
you'll have to remove the third parameter $test (because it specifies the length of the content to be written). But $test is not defined in your PHP file, so it won't write anything..
So change this
fwrite($fh, $user_data, $test) or die ("Fejl i skrivning til fil!");
into this
fwrite($fh, $user_data) or die ("Fejl i skrivning til fil!");
and have a look at this :)
As for your second question: sure you can merge your form and submit scripts:
<?php
if(count($_POST) > 0) { //
/** Form submit function, file write **/
} else {
?>
<html>
<form action="#" method="POST">
<!-- Enter HTMLform here -->
</form>
</html>
<?php } ?>
This pseudocode is not pretty, but will do in terms of explaining stuff. The # in the form action means that the same script is to be called upon submission. The if(count($_POST) > 0) checks whether data has been submitted. If so, the file will be written. Otherwise, the form will be displayed.
Good luck.

I am trying to get information from textarea to be converted to a .py file.
Here's my file https://jsfiddle.net/girlwhocancode/68mb49gq/
<form action=action.php method="post">
<center>
<textarea placeholder="Code you want to execute in python..."></textarea>
</center><br/>
<center><input type="submit" class="button_example"></center>
</form>
and this is my php file:
<?php
$path = #PATH;
if (isset($_POST['field1'])) {
$fh = fopen($path,"a+");
$string = $_POST['field1'];
fwrite($fh,$string); // Write information to the file
fclose($fh); // Close the file
}
?>
For some reason my php isn't working and I have no idea how to keep the same webpage after submitting
Try this:
<form action="action.php" method="post">
<center>
<textarea name="script" placeholder="Code you want to execute in python..."></textarea> //added name
</center><br/>
<center><input name="submit" type="submit" class="button_example"></center>
</form> // added name submit
in php
<?php
$path = #PATH;
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$fh = fopen($path,"a+");
$string = $_POST['script'];
fwrite($fh,$string); // Write information to the file
fclose($fh); // Close the file
}
?>
Remember that in php $_POST/$_GET keys are always your form field
names
I have a problem that made me lose my temper really I have the following code
OK ?
$sections = array("Other","Romance","Horror","Sucid","Dance","Comedy");
$vedioname = $_POST['vedionamet'];
$path = $_POST['selectsection'];
$finalpath =realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/Uploads/".$path);
$vedname= $_FILES['vedio']['name'];
$temp=$_FILES['vedio']['tmp_name'];
$type = $_FILES["vedio"]['type'];
$size = $_FILES['vedio']['size'];
$errors = $_FILES['vedio']['error'];
if($_POST['uploadsub']){
move_uploaded_file($temp,$finalpath.$vedioname);
echo "Done Uploaded".$type;
}else
{
echo "$error";
}
The first problem is supposed to be the process of uploading the file to file uploads
The file is not even uploaded to the same file as the page
Second, the goal is to write the name of the file uploaded within the text, but what is happening in reverse exactly that
So how to make the upload process successful
Inside the uploads / value received from the form section
And the new name of the received value of the form
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="inputs">
<label class="labels" for="name">Vedio Name: </label>
<input id="name" type="text" name="vedionamet" value="vedio"> </br>
<label class="labels" for="selectsection">Select Section :</label>
<select name="selectsection" id="section" >
<?php
foreach($sections as $pathat){
echo "<option value='$pathat'>" . "$pathat" . "</option>";
};
?>
</select></br>
<label class="labels" for="upup">Select Vedio : </label>
<input id="upload" type="file" name="vedio"></br>
<input id="subb" type="submit" name="uploadsub" value="Upload">
</
For the HTML part, you may change the action to "#" if you want to use a same page to handle the upload request.
For the PHP part, you may try the following codes, it works on my computer. Please also make sure that you have already established these sub video folders in Uploads folder
<?php
$sections = array("Other","Romance","Horror","Sucid","Dance","Comedy");
//add one condition to avoid warning when the page first loads
if(isset($_POST["selectsection"])){
$vedioname = $_POST['vedionamet'];
$path = $_POST['selectsection'];
//Use this to get the path
$finalpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd())) . '\\Uploads\\' . $path. '\\';
$vedname= $_FILES['vedio']['name'];
$temp=$_FILES['vedio']['tmp_name'];
//Use this to get the extension of file name
$type = pathinfo($vedname, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$size = $_FILES['vedio']['size'];
$errors = $_FILES['vedio']['error'];
if($_POST['uploadsub']){
move_uploaded_file($temp,$finalpath.$vedioname.".".$type);
echo "Done Uploaded".$type;
}else
{
echo "$error";
}
}
?>
I am using the following script to edit text based files on my server (TXT,HTML,PHP,etc..)
<?php
$filename = "test.php";
function make_content_file($filename,$content,$opentype="w")
{
$fp_file = fopen($filename, $opentype);
fputs($fp_file, $content);
fclose($fp_file);
}
if($_POST)
{
$newcontents=$_POST[newcontents];
make_content_file($filename,$newcontents);
}
$filecontents = file_get_contents($filename);
?>
<?php
if($_POST)
{
echo '<p><span style="font-weight: 700; background-color: #CCFFCC">You have successfully posted to your txt file!</span></p>
Download';
}
?>
<form method="post">
<textarea name="newcontents" cols="70" rows="25"><?=$filecontents?></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
The script works fine with most of PHP files Example:
But if a file includes some form with textarea the code just get messed up
Example:
Another Example: http://i.imgur.com/P9O34Y8.png
Would like to know why this happen and how to fix it, Thanks
The first comment sums it all
Fun fact: I have a similar tool myself, with the ability to edit files from a bookmark, an emptying files feature, and sha1 password protection. (insecure crc32 is still used in the original code)
Hope it's actually useful
if (sha1($_POST['pass']) != $pass) {
echo "<style>input{padding:0.1em; font-size:1.1em}body{background:$bg; color:$fg; font-family:corbel;font-size:1.4vw;padding:0.4em}a{color:$fg}</style><body><h2>$nick<mark>:)</mark></h2>";
echo '
<form action="writer.php" method="post">
Code: <input type="password" name="pass" autofocus>
<input type="hidden" name="f" value="'.$_GET['f'].'"><br><br>';
if ($_POST['pass'] != ""){
echo 'Incorrect code.';
}
}
https://pastebin.com/krMrA783
To empty a file, type "empty".
To set the password before using, go through the first 5 lines of code, and modify $pass.
Make sure that the password is secure and unique (14+ characters)
I am facing the following issue. I have a simple textarea where user will use to submit text which is subsequently written to a text file in the server. This is working.
But when I refresh the page it adds in the last added text into the text file again causing duplicate entries.
Any idea what I must do to prevent this? Below is the code I used for the textarea portion.
<html>
<body>
<form name="form" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text_box" size="50"/>
<input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['text_box'])) {
$a = $_POST['text_box'];
$myFile = "textfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $a."\r\n");
fclose($fh);
}
?>
Pages that are loaded via POST will cause the browser to ask the user to resubmit the information to view the page resulting in the actions performed by that page happening again. If the pages is requested via GET and has variables in the querystring the same thing happens but silently (without the user being prompted to d it again).
The best to work around this is to use the POST/REDIRECT/GET pattern. I used it in an example about processing payments that I wrote for Authorize.Net. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
A simpler so
You can just store a simple hash on session and regenerate it every time.
When the user reloads the page the php wont be executed.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['text_box']) && $_SESSION['formFix'] == $_POST['fix']) {
$a = $_POST['text_box'];
$myFile = "textfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $a."\r\n");
fclose($fh);
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form name="form" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text_box" size="50"/>
<?php
$value = md5(rand(1,999999));
$_SESSION['formFix'] = $value;
?>
<input type="hidden" name="fix" value="<?= $value; ?>" />
<input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
ps: the order of the blocks will matter, so you need to invert em.
As John said, you need to redirect user after form submit.
fclose($fh);
// and
header("Location: success.php or where else");
exit;
Note: Your redirection won't work unless ob_start is not called before, cos your page contains html outputs.
// form.php
<?php ob_start(); ?>
<html>
<body>
<? if (isset($_GET['success'])): ?>
Submit OK! New submit
<? else: ?>
<form name="form" method="post" action="form.php">
<input type="text" name="text_box" size="50"/>
<input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<? endif; ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['text_box'])) {
$a = $_POST['text_box'];
$myFile = "textfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $a."\r\n");
fclose($fh);
// send user
header("Location: form.php?success=1");
exit;
}
?>
I am a newbie and have spent over 3 hours trying to find a way to get the filename, filesize, path, from the uploaded file. But this form is doing it in a way i am not able to understand. I need the filename, filesize, path variables stored in the db. How can i implement a $sql insert in the code below:
Code:
$upload_dir = "/var/www/anyexample/aeu"; // Directory for file storing
// filesystem path
$web_upload_dir = "/aeu"; // Directory for file storing`
// Web-Server dir
/* upload_dir is filesystem path, something like
/var/www/htdocs/files/upload or c:/www/files/upload
web upload dir, is the webserver path of the same
directory. If your upload-directory accessible under
www.your-domain.com/files/upload/, then
web_upload_dir is /files/upload
*/
// testing upload dir
// remove these lines if you're shure
// that your upload dir is really writable to PHP scripts
$tf = $upload_dir.'/'.md5(rand()).".test";
$f = #fopen($tf, "w");
if ($f == false)
die("Fatal error! {$upload_dir} is not writable. Set 'chmod 777 {$upload_dir}'
or something like this");
fclose($f);
unlink($tf);
// end up upload dir testing

{
$result = 'ERROR';
$result_msg = 'No FILE field found';

I would suggest adding something like the following after the previous mentioned line:
$size = filesize($upload_dir.'/'.$filename);
$path = $upload_dir.'/'.$filename;
mysql_connect(YOUR_HOST, YOUR_USERNAME, YOUR_PASSWORD);
mysql_select_db(YOUR_DATABASE);
mysql_query('INSERT INTO your_table SET filename=$filename, size=$size, path=$path');
