to make the text string in a box be a different color then black, you dont need to use PHP, use your good ol' pal CSS!

Im not quite sure how to change the colors, but here is my css file that I use, you can probably learn something from it if your not an expert at CSS:

mzanimephp

benkillin has a external CSS, you could do it that way or you could do it internal.

Here is the internal way of doing it too.

<input style="background-color:#f1f1f1; color:#ff0000; font-size:10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;">

This is not what she is wanting.

That is just a comment tag and has nothing to do with the script.

Use this for your uploadfile.php page:

<?php
    if ($File) {
        echo "File name : $File_name<p>";
        echo "File size : $File_size<p>";

$Readfile = $File_name;

    if (copy ($File, "$File_name")) {
        echo "Your file was successfully uploaded!<p>";
    } else {
        echo "Your file could not be uploaded<p>";
    }

    unlink ($File);
}

$Thefile = $File_name;

$open = fopen ($Thefile, "r");
if ($open) {

echo "File uploaded contained the fallowing text:<br>";

$Data = file ($Thefile);
    for ($n = 0; $n < count($Data); $n++) {

        $GetLine = explode("\t", $Data[$n]);

$pattern1 = $_POST['$char1'];
$pattern2 = $_POST['$char2'];

$replace1 = "<font color=\"red\">$pattern1</font>";
$replace2 - "<font color=\"blue\">$pattern2</font>";

$Printme = implode ("<BR>", $GetLine);

/* $Printme = eregi_replace($pattern1, $replace1, $GetLine["0"]); */

        echo " $Printme <br>";

}
fclose($open);
echo "<hr><p>\n";
} else {
    echo "Error!!!";
}


?>

Hope that helps,

@ benkillen
I acctualy am pretty good with CSS :p everything to do with Dhtml :p

@ batman

thats what you changed
hehe..... forgot that POST part :p oops

   $pattern1 = $_POST['$char1']; 
    $pattern2 = $_POST['$char2'];

/ $Printme = eregi_replace($pattern1, $replace1, $GetLine["0"]); /

I commented it out because it was messing the script, without it, the script just shows the text file

I want it to take the text file, and then look for whatever the user inputed for $POST["char1"] and $POST["char2"] and then surround is with or <fonr style="color:blue"> depending on if its char1 or char2..........

hehe....example....i enter kitty and catgurl

so it would go thru and find them and change them to

kitty
and
catgurl

....
i dunno what im doing wrong :p and I have no idea how to get it to search for two diferent patterns.......was gonna figure that out next 😛

batman

What exactly are you wanting to use the two fields for? Like some kind of search that will look for the two words typed in the file that was uploaded? Explain more on what you want to do with the two fields, except the color thing, I got that part.

After that I'll see what I can do,

its for converting yahoo chat sessions into HTML files.....

catgurl_ashley : Hello
sumdewd : Hi
catgurl_ashley : How are you?
sumdewd : Im mad wicked fresh

so it would go thru the whoooooooole file and do this

catgurl_ashley : Hello
sumdewd : Hi
catgurl_ashley : How are you?
sumdewd : Im mad wicked fresh

see what I mean ? :p
or did i miss sumthin?

catgurl_ashley

oh btw....i still have more coding to do, but this is the part i really need help on :p

batman

Ok...what are you having problems with as of right now? Also. what are the two fields for then? Do you have a url that I can see the script at, even if not working?

HTML.htm is the html file
and uploadfile.php is the action

<?php 
    if ($File) { 
        echo "File name : $File_name<p>"; 
        echo "File size : $File_size<p>"; 

    if (copy ($File, "$File_name")) { 
        echo "Your file was successfully uploaded!<p>"; 
    } else { 
        echo "Your file could not be uploaded<p>"; 
    } 

    unlink ($File); 
} 

$Thefile = $File_name; 

$open = fopen ($Thefile, "r"); 
if ($open) { 

echo "File uploaded contained the fallowing text:<br>"; 

$Data = file ($Thefile); 
    for ($n = 0; $n < count($Data); $n++) { 

        $GetLine = explode("\t", $Data[$n]); 

$pattern1 = $_POST['$char1']; 
$pattern2 = $_POST['$char2']; 

$replace1 = "<font color=\"red\">$pattern1</font>"; 
$replace2 - "<font color=\"blue\">$pattern2</font>"; 

$Printme = implode ("<BR>", $GetLine); 

/* $Printme = eregi_replace($pattern1, $replace1, $GetLine); */

        echo " $Printme <br>"; 

} 
fclose($open); 
echo "<hr><p>\n"; 
} else { 
    echo "Error!!!"; 
} 


?>

Im having problems in the for loop
Trying to get it to recognize all $patter1 and $pattern2 and replaceing them with $replace1 and $replace2 respectively.....

right now i have that eregi_replace commented out because it gives errors with it.....

the way it is coded right now, it just displays the text file

TomT64

    $replace2 - "<font color=\"blue\">$pattern2</font>";

that needs to be an = sign I'm sure.

Try this for eregi_replace:

$search = "catgurl"; //what you're changing

eregi_replace($search, "<font color=\"red\">\\0</font>", $GetLine);

\0 is the $search, regardless of case

Also, I think your explode might be faulty if your file does not separate lines by \t but maybe \n. But if the files are being outputted correctly by implode I could be wrong.

Hope this was helpful

EDIT: Somehow the extra \ in \0 is not showing up, so add it in after you copy
