Creating Multiple html file from name list

alganar

Hello

I am kinda new to php coding and was wondering if I could get some help. What I am wanting to do is create Multiple html files from a list of words that I have. I know how to create a basic file using the fopen and fwrite commands with the following code



//This is the file name to create

//would like this to read a basic text file with words one on each line and create a file according.

$file = "./filename-based-on-word-in-textfile"; 
$fp = fopen ("$file", "wb"); 


//This is the content of each file 


$content = "Hello, I am a File!"; 
fwrite($fp, $content); 
fclose($fp); 


//This is telling you what file it wrote to based on the text file
echo "Wrote to ($file):<pre>"; 
readfile($file); 
echo "</pre>";

Any help would be appericated

Thanks

Not knowing anything about what HTML files you're going to make out of the list, there's little to say except that there is nothing to prevent you from opening and working with multiple files at once. Or opening a file, writing in it, closing it, then opening another one, writing in it, closing it, and so on in a loop.

Ok I have a basic text file let say with the names and there are like 1000 or so names in this list.

goober
goober2
double
tripple
single

What I am wanting to do is read this simple text file line for line and create a html file name according to the names in this list.

like so

goober.html
goober2.html
double.htmll
tripple.html
single.html

Like I say, there's nothing to prevent you from using a loop and opening a file, writing in it, closing it, then opening another file, writing in it, and closing it, and so on. Which part of the job are you actually stuck on?

I am not wanting to open a file to write to it.

I am wanting to read a text file with over 2000 names in it and create html files based on those names the code above created a single file only.

Sorry, you've lost me - you want to create HTML files but you don't want to write any files? Reading what the manual says about [man]fopen[/man] if you try to open a file for writing and it doesn't exist, an empty file will be created. Of course once it's created you'll still need to write in it to make it an HTML file.

thanks a tone figured it out. The only problem now is that the ownership of the file seem to not be right. Created and writes file fine.

look at chmod() and chown()
