need a little help

[PoOP]

ok, hope ppl can get what im need. I have this page home.php i want to be able to edit that page, but the thing is, i want to go down 28 lines, and insert things there, and then go 2 lines up from the bottom and completely change that line. i want to be able to do this by just going to blah.php fill out a few textboxes. i hope this is possible. Thanks for you time, and help 🙂

<?php
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
$file = 'home.php';
$open = fopen ($file, 'w');
fwrite ($open, $HTTP_POST_VARS['phppage']);
echo 'done and done!';
} else {
?><textarea name="phppage"><?php
$file = 'home.php';
echo @implode ('', @file ($file));
?></textearea><?php
}

ok, but how to i add something some many lines from the top of the file and change a whole line so many lines from the end of the file?

try the following code

$content = file($filepath);

//change line 28

$content[27] += "New infokdjfdlfjdkfdjf";

//up to line
$content[27-2] += "New infooooo";

$fp = fopen($filepath, "w");

for($i=0; $i<count($content); $i++)
{
    fwrite($fp, $content[$i]);
}

fclose($fp);

ok, im using this

$content = file($filepath); 

//change line 28 
$content[27] += "New infokdjfdlfjdkfdjf"; 

$fp = fopen($filepath, "w"); 

for($i=0; $i<count($content); $i++) 
{ 
    fwrite($fp, $content[$i]); 
} 

fclose($fp);
 

but, on the edited file, the comes up a 0 instead of what's in quotes 😕

[shawon22]

change + to .

$content[27] += "New infokdjfdlfjdkfdjf";

to

$content[27] .= "New infokdjfdlfjdkfdjf";

or

$content[27] = $content[27] . "New infokdjfdlfjdkfdjf";

[PoOP]

yay, thank you, it works now. btw, if anyone does this you need to do this on server side: chmod a+w [filename]

Final Code Used:

$content = file($filepath); 

$content[27] .= "blah";

$fp = fopen($filepath, "w"); 

for($i=0; $i<count($content); $i++) 
{ 
  fwrite($fp, $content[$i]); 
} 

fclose($fp);

Thanks once again for your time and help 🙂
