Isn't there function like GetProfileString in c?

Anon

in C, in order to read and to write files
commonly we use getprofilestring or setprofilestring.

I'm searching such like function in PHP3.
help me.
bye.

Ehe? Well it's been a while since I wrote anything in C but you are talking about the functions for reading and writing an ini file right?

Anon

for example...

as I know GetProfileString or SetProfileString function is used with Section name and Item name.

following is contents of file.

[DIRECTORY]
msg=/www/test/message
doc=/www/test/document

---> DIRECTORY : Section Name
---> msg : Item Name

in order to get value of msg,
we mainly used to use GetProfileString function.

I hope you will get it and answer for me.
bye.

Hmmm well there isn't a specific set of functions for accessing the windows ini files but there is an easy way to emulate it, if you don't mind reading in an entire text file then parsing each of the values into a multi leveled array.

Say something like this:

$array["section"]["subsection"] = $data;

So if you wanted to access an individual value called msg from a file with the contents you used in your example then all you would have to do is something like this:

$value = $array["DIRECTORY"]["msg"];

I don't know if you need a full text parsing tutorial or not so I won't put one together yet, if you do then just ask and I'll get one up ASAP for ya 🙂

hi..

Thank you for your answer.
I'm really appreciating your kindness.

but, I already made the functions using PHP3 like GetProfileString().

but, this source is limited version.
that is not use Section.
just, use filename and itemname.
andso, speed of access maybe slower.( in my thinking )

following is contents of that....

function GPS ($filename, $itemname) {
$fp = fopen($filename,"r");

    if (!$fp) {
            echo("Faild to open the file($fp)");
    }
    else {
            while ( !feof($fp) ) {
                    $line = fgets($fp, 256);
                    $arr = explode("=",$line);
                    $val = trim($arr[0]);
                    if ( !strcmp($val, $itemname) ) {
                            fclose($fp);
                            return trim($arr[1]);
                    }
            }
    }
    flose($fp);

}

see you later.....
bye.
