Hello...
I'm trying to enter a fair amount of text into a mySQL database from
textfiles using PHP. I'm having some problems, and I hope someone can help
me. The table looks like this:
Name : rants
id : int auto_increment
date : varchar(8)
category: char(1)
title : varchar(75)
rtext : text
The code I'm using looks like this:
if (file_exists($filename))
{
// Open it.
$file = fopen($filename, "r");
// Skip the first line due to the span tag.
$fulltitle = fgets($file, 128);
$fulltitle = fgets($file, 128);
// Parse out the date from the title.
$temp = explode(": ", $fulltitle);
$date = $temp[0];
$title = $temp[1];
// Pass over the second span tag.
$crap = fgets($file, 128);
// Pass over the first line break.
$crap = fgets($file, 128);
$text = fgets($file, 128);
while (!feof($file))
{
$text = $text.(fgets($file, 128));
}
// Replace possibly invalid characters to avoid screwing up the
// SQL statement.
$title = str_replace("'", "^^singlequote^^", $title);
$text = str_replace("'", "^^singlequote^^", $text);
$title = str_replace("\"", "^^doublequote^^", $title);
$text = str_replace("\"", "^^doublequote^^", $text);
// Write out everything that we have.
echo "Date: $date<br>\nTitle: $title<br>\nType:
$type<br>\nText:<br>\n$text";
$query = "INSERT INTO rants VALUES (1, '$date', '$type', '$title',
'$text')";
mysql_db_query($query, $db_link) or die ("<br>Problem!");
}
And a typical rant may consist of characters as widely varied as the text in
this message (basically a multi-paragraph essay with HTML in it).
When I try to execute this, it doesn't add anything into the database, and
prints out "Problem!". I have absolutely no idea why. Can someone give me
some direction here? I would be eternally grateful for it.
I am running PHP4 and mySQL on a Win2K server.
Thanks.
