showing php source in textarea

bob

Hi,

I'm working on a tool to edit my pages online. First i'm making an ftp connection from where i can choose the file to edit. When clicking this file i'm opening it in a textarea. But now I don't want my php source to be parsed. It has too be the same as the file on the server side. Does any one know how too make this? I tried several things with htmspecialchars with out any succes.

thx

I believe you can do an fopen scheme. Open the file as a ascii document, instead of calling it to be parsed. Open the document, copy the contents out, and spit it into the form.

There's my 2 cents.

I tried that allready... but the problem is that I have a number of sites wich I want to manage from one spot. So some where I have this i-net site from where I make ftp connection to any of my sites. I believe that when I want to use fopen() the script should run on the server that I want the file from. This is not the case. I was thinking about a way of telling the server not to parse the php code... but if this is possible? In that case you should be able to read out every page you would like, and that is not what we would like!

open ftp connection, get contents of file and print in textarea

DO NOT try to fopen() something like [url]http://www...,[/url] and DO NOT stop the server from parsing files. If you request it over FTP and not over HTTP you will be able to get the files in their regular, not parsed, plain-old-text format.

Dunno how secure this would be, but you can do something like that with .htaccess

Here's an example, and gives you the directions at the top:

It looks like the real problem is reliably "harvesting" php scripts from other sites in their pre-parsed state.

the simplest way I can think of is to setup an alias without PHP interpretation and use httpd authentication.

Alias /server_root /php_off
<location /php_off>
AuthType Basic
AuthName Somename
AuthUserFile Yourhtpasswdfile
require valid-user
php_admin_flag engine off
</location>

Just setup a single username / password pair with htpasswd

Now you can fopen with http://name:password@server.com/php_off/file_i_want_here.php
