Edit PHP files from URL

[rfc]

Hi all,

Me again 🙂

Now I am trying to edit a .txt file from the URL.

So, if you visit edit.php?a=hi, it will edit /pages/hi.txt, and for edit.php?a=e82, it will edit /pages/e82.txt.

I have a general idea of how to approach it, but I doubt my method will work.

If anyone is willing to do this for me, let me know. It should only take a few miniutes.

[I know it is insecure, but I am password protecting the file via .htpasswd AND a PHP password protection method].

Thanks 🙂

Well you might want to check out the [man]file_get_contents[/man] and [man]file_put_contents[/man] commands.

Beyond that, it's pretty much just a matter of using the right paths, having the rights permissions, and creating the form.
