[RESOLVED] PHP list to txt file

turbo535

Hello guys, I have script:

<?php

function Permutate($strDataIn, $Length, &$PermutateCount)
{
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($strDataIn); $i++)
{
$PermArray[0][$i] = substr($strDataIn, $i, 1);
$temp[$i] = substr($strDataIn, $i, 1);
$temp2[0][$i] = substr($strDataIn, $i, 1);
}
for ($i = 1; $i < $Length; $i++)
{
for ($k = 0; $k < strLen($strDataIn); $k++)
{
for ($j = 0; $j < sizeof($temp2[$i - 1]); $j++)
{
$PermArray[$i][($k * sizeof($temp2[$i - 1])) + $j] = $temp[$k] . $temp2[$i - 1][$j];
$temp2[$i][($k * sizeof($temp2[$i - 1])) + $j] = $temp[$k] . $temp2[$i - 1][$j];
}
}
}
$k = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < $Length; $i++)
{
$k += sizeof($PermArray[$i]);
}
$PermutateCount = $k;
return $PermArray;
}

$StartString = "ABCD";
$len = 4;
$Return = Permutate($StartString, $len, $cnt);

$i = $len -1;

$cnt = sizeof($Return[$i]);

print "Returned <b>$cnt</b> permutations.<br><hr>";

//for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++)
//{
for ($j = 0; $j < sizeof($Return[$i]); $j++)
{
print $Return[$i][$j] . "<br>";
}
print "<br>";
//}
?>

How to do this script if I want print out the combinations in a text file?

Welcome to PHPBuilder! When posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze. Also, you might want to start indenting your code so that it's easier (for you and us) to read.

Simply replace calls to [man]print/man to [man]fwrite/man after first using [man]fopen/man to open a file. Alternatively, you could just use concatenation and build up the entire data in a variable and then use [man]file_put_contents/man to write the contents of that variable to a file all at once.

Sorry my fault.

It's easy for you, but hard for me. 🙂 I know about [man]fopen/man and [man]fwrite/man commands, but I have no idea where should be added [man]fopen/man command. Can you change my script for example? Thank you.

You can add it wherever you'd like to add it, so long as it gets called before you try to write anything to a file (after all, if you didn't then you wouldn't have a file pointer resource to pass to fwrite() anyway).

In other words, no, I'd rather help you figure it out on your own than do it for you. 🙂

Try modifying the code to use fopen() and fwrite() to open a file and write data to it rather than just print()'ing the data out. If you get stuck, show us what your new code looks like and what's not working and we can go from there.

I try, I can make an easy examples, but I can't insert into script. :mad:

 <?php
  $File = "ABCD.txt"; 
 $Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
 $Data = "xxx"; 
 fwrite($Handle, $Data); 
 fclose($Handle); 
?>

Did you at least try first? If so, show us what you tried.

turbo535

OK if I insert second script into first script and change line $Data = "xxx" to $Data = it works or not?

You'll only learn by doing and trying. Make a copy, edit, play around with it and see what it does.

If your intend is to have someone else write the code, you'd better find a developer.

I understand it, I just want to know if i change line $Data = "xxx"; Script should work properly or not?

Try it and you'll know the answer.

turbo535

I tried all the variables, and nothing. I'm giving up.

turbo535

$File = "ABCD.txt"; 
 $f = fopen($File, 'w');
 $Data = $Return[$i][$j] . "<br>"; 
 fwrite($f, $Data); 
 fclose($f);

and I only get errors and in text file...

What are the errors?

Also, can you show us what the entire script looks like after your modifications?

Notice: Use of undefined constant fclose - assumed 'fclose' in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 51

And all of combinations in text file shown as AAAA AAAB .... ZZZZ not
AAAA
AAAB
AAAC.

Perhaps you were trying to call the function [man]fclose/man instead? If so, note that you're missing the parenthesis () that go along with any function call.

Well yes, that's because you aren't appending a line break of any sort - you're appending the text " " so that's exactly what shows up in the text file. If you want actual line breaks, then output line breaks - not a sequence of characters that an HTML parser would interpret as a new line entity.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention...

Why are you calling [man]fclose/man inside the for() loop? After the first iteration of that loop, you'll be closing the file pointer, so that when the next iteration of the loop executes it will be attempting to fwrite() to a file pointer that has already been closed. You shouldn't fclose() the file pointer until you're done using it.

 $StartString = "ABCDEFGHI";
 $len = 4;

 $i = $len -1;

 $cnt = sizeof($Return[$i]);

$File = "AAAA.txt";
 $f = fopen($File, 'w');


 print "Returned <b>$cnt</b> permutations.<br><hr>";

 //for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++)
 //{
    for ($j = 0; $j < sizeof($Return[$i]); $j++)
    {
        fwrite ($f, $Return[$i][$j] );
        print "done";
    }
     print "<br>";



 //}
?>

OK, so now what command I must use for line break?

bradgrafelman

See this section in the PHP manual. "\n" inside of a double-quoted string will be replaced with a line feed character. Otherwise, you could use [man]chr/man to output a line feed (hex value 0x0A if memory serves correctly) but that seems a bit obfuscated to me.

Personally I use the built-in constant: PHP_EOL
