[Resolved] Online Web Designer

cyb

Okee dokee. I just started coding PHP, and with a few sucessful projects, I'm ready to start on a bigger one. I want to make a form where the user(I already have login process done) enters HTML code into a text area and it saves it as $user.htm . Here's the code so far. Note: I do not want the form being submitted to PHP_Self, but to a different .php file. The login page is not available, as it is a .swf flash file.

Here is the page:
http://mnet.danmattia.net/mproject/webdesign.php (Sorry, not allowing non registered people in)

The flash login form POST s the user.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Web Design</TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

</STYLE>
<?php
$user = $POST['user'];
?>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER><H1>Design your own web page, <?php echo $user; ?>.</H1></CENTER>
<CENTER><H2>EDIT:</H2></CENTER>
<CENTER>
<FORM ACTION="<?php echo $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" METHOD="POST">
<TEXTAREA NAME="htm" ROWS="20" COLS="75"></TEXTAREA><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Save">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="user" VALUE="<?php echo $user ?>">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
<CENTER><H2><A HREF="<?php echo $user ?>.htm" TARGET="_blank">VIEW</A></H2></CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You should change

<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>

to whatever file you want to POST to. Then use [man]fopen[/man], [man]fwrite[/man], and [man]fclose[/man] to save the file with that second script.

Thankyou, it's set up, but the ftp is asking for a username and password. How do I send one when I do fopen([url]ftp://[/url] etc, 'r')???

Thanks again,

Ok, thankyou. I now have it using the ftp://username:password@mnet.danmattia.net syntax, and I can read the file. The only problem is, when I use:
$filer2 = fopen("ftp://user:pass@mnet.danmattia.net/mproject/cyb.htm", 'r');
it works for reading, but when I use:
$filer3 = fopen("ftp://user:pass@mnet.danmattia.net/mproject/cyb.htm", 'w');
On the save(writing) php, the ftp server gives me an errror:
Warning: fopen([url]ftp://...@mnet.danmattia.net/mproject/cyb.htm[/url]): failed to open stream: FTP server reports 213 312 in /home/danmatti/www/mnet/mproject/designwriter.php

Help please!

Thanks,
