How to edit lines in files by PHP

celebx

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to edit lines in new created (copied) files upon new user registrations for example:

$fp = fopen("$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi","w");

   fputs($fp,fread(fopen("$root_path/standard/robboard.cgi", "r"), filesize("$root_path/standard/robboard.cgi")));

   fclose($fp);

   exec("chmod 777 $root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi");

Anyone knows a solution to access a file and edit specific lines in it?

Best Regards,
Snt

anyone?

$myFile = file('robboard.cgi');
foreach ($myFile as $row=>$data) { // $row is the line #, $data is the corresponding data to that line
echo "$row: $data<br />\n"; // This will give you all rows + data in that file
}

//To edit a specific line:
$myFile[$row] = "New data here"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on

// To write:
$fp = fopen('robboard.cgi','w');
fwrite($fp,implode('',$myFile));
fclose($fp);

// or (This will also write)
$fp = fopen('robboard.cgi','w');
foreach ($myFile as $data) {
fwrite($fp,$data);
}
fclose($fp);

It seems there are some errors:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/admin/admin/newaccount_x.php on line 76

Warning: Bad arguments to implode() in /home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/admin/admin/newaccount_x.php on line 92

Warning: fclose(): 39 is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/admin/admin/newaccount_x.php on line 95

with the following setup:

 $myFile = "$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi";
foreach ($myFile as $row=>$data) { // $row is the line #, $data is the corresponding data to that line
echo "$row: $data<br />\n"; // This will give you all rows + data in that file
}

//To edit a specific line:
$myFile[29] = "$boarddir = '$root_path/$account_lid';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on
$myFile[30] = "$userdir = '$root_path/$account_lid';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on
$myFile[31] = "$boardurl = '$root_path/$account_lid';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on
$myFile[32] = "$cgi = '$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on
$myFile[33] = "$indexcgi = '$root_path/$account_lid/index.cgi';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on
$myFile[60] = "$boardtitle = '$account_lid';"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on



// To write:
$fp = fopen("$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi","w");
fwrite($fp,implode("",$myFile));
fclose($fp);

fclose($fp);

Awaiting your response 🙂

Could you post the complete source code here, or link it?

$myFile[29] = "$boarddir = '$root_path/$account_lid';";
/* syntax error
First of all, you have 2 [color=blue];[/color]
Second, $myFile[29] can only be assigned to a string, or another variable, such as:
$myFile[29] = "data";
$myFile[29] = $blah;
The single quotes are not needed within the double quotes */

(Sorry I didn't notice all these errors before, I was half asleep... :p )

What does it mean?

btw, thanks for the all the infos and time, if u need anything in return let me know!

I'm still getting the same errors:

 $myFile = "$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi"; 
foreach ($myFile as $row=>$data) { // $row is the line #, $data is the corresponding data to that line 
echo "$row: $data<br />\n"; // This will give you all rows + data in that file 
} 

$l29 = "$boarddir = \'$root_path/$account_lid\'\;";
$l30 = "$userdir = \'$root_path/$account_lid\'\;";
$l31 = "$boardurl = \'$root_path/$account_lid\'\;";
$l32 = "$cgi = \'$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi\'\;";
$l33 = "$indexcgi = \'$root_path/$account_lid/index.cgi\'\;";
$l60 = "$boardtitle = \'$account_lid\'\;";

//To edit a specific line: 
$myFile[29] = "$l29"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 
$myFile[30] = "$l31"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 
$myFile[31] = "$l32"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 
$myFile[32] = "$l33"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 
$myFile[33] = "$l34"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 
$myFile[60] = "$l60"; // Can be $myFile[0], $myFile[1], and so on 



// To write: 
$fp = fopen("$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi","w"); 
fwrite($fp,implode("",$myFile)); 
fclose($fp);

It seems there's a problem with the foreachtag, ofcourse I've tried it with a simple oneword string aswell but got the same results...

NYSiRacer

// SYNTAX ERROR //
$l29 = "$boarddir = '$root_path/$account_lid';";
$l30 = "$userdir = '$root_path/$account_lid';";
$l31 = "$boardurl = '$root_path/$account_lid';";
$l32 = "$cgi = '$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi';";
$l33 = "$indexcgi = '$root_path/$account_lid/index.cgi';";
$l60 = "$boardtitle = '$account_lid';";
// A variable can not start with a number, a variable can not be assigned to another and follow by a string, AND YOU STILL HAVE TWO SEMICOLONS //

You can take out the foreach, I just did it to show you how to output the file, it's not needed.

NYSiRacer

$myFile = file("$root_path/$account_lid/robboard.cgi");
Say you want to edit row 3 (remember, row starts with zero)
You already have abcdefg on row 3, you want to replace it with blah, you'll do this:
$myFile[2] = "blah";
// Save the file //

This must be the final error for sure 😉

Let me see your final code, and use either show_source or phps, please don't use a txt file, you're killing my eyes...

p.s. let me know if u want anything in return, I might have a job for you if ur looking for work.

NYSiRacer

/* SYNTAX STILL ERROR */

$xx = "/home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/admin/admin/"; // correct

Give me the paths to $boarddir, $root_path, $account_lid, $userdir, $boardurl, $cgi, $indexcgi, and $boardtitle.

celebx

Is there any possibility to get the folowing line replaced:

$boarddir = '/home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/members/main/forum';

$boarddir = '/home/klanten/celeb-x/celeb-x/admin/files/forums/$USERID';

NYSiRacer

Yes (replace the single quotes with double quotes)

celebx

so the previous codes should work, correct ?

$xx = "\$boarddir = '$root_path/$account_lid';";

$root_path = /home/klanten/etc/
$account_lid = username
