The way I've done this in the past is to use an array. Then I can
include the file, change the array and then var_export() to the file:
//config.php
<?php
$config = array (
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'database',
'username' => 'username',
'password' => 'password',
);
//file that does the changing writing
<?php
include('config.php');
$config['database'] = 'otherdb';
$config['username'] = 'jason';
$config['password'] = 'abcdefg123';
$content = "<?php\n".'$config = '.var_export($config, true).";\n?>";
file_put_contents('config.php', $content);

Yes, I am trying to write stuff to a file with PHP but in between the
<?php ?> tags and without deleting what is already in the file.

my code:
require 'DB.php';
// $db=DB::connect('db_program://user:passw...@hostname/database');
$db=DB::connect('mysql://metheuser:[email protected]/
mydatabase');
if (DB::isError($db)) { die("Can't connect: " . $db->getMessage()); }
is returning:
"Can't connect: DB Error: connect failed"
Any advise to find out WHY this is failing?
(Note: I am fairly new to PHP, and brand spanking new at anything db-
related with PHP.)
thanks, Govinda

P.S.
I realize this had probably been covered countless times (best step by
step advice how to troubleshoot the first connection to a mysql db),
so i first did try to search the php list archives, here:
http://marc.info/?l=php-general&w=2&r=1&s=db+connect&q=b
and I am apparently missing something because when I input
"failed db connection"
at the top, in the search box, then it returns posts all over the map,
and also takes out the middle word in my search string (so now it is
just "failed db"). Why is that?
I also searched for "failed database connection" which does not change
my search input, but still the posts I found did not give me enough
clue to stop me from posting here now.

It's usually a simple thing since there are only 3 parameters so it's
something that you have likely mis-spelled or input in the wrong order.
It's not rocket science to figure it out, the docs are clear about how
it works.
But a likely guess maybe that you need to connect via localhost
instead of the full domain name.
$db=DB::connect('mysql://metheuser:myp...@localhost/mydatabase');

Hi gang:
I just wasted a day trying to figure out why a standard html form
using enctype='multipart/form-data" wasn't uploading images as it
should in Safari.
Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes I would
get the spinning "loading X" of death in the address-bar and
sometimes it would simply work and upload. No changes in code, just
it works sometimes and it doesn't other times.
This really had me stumped. Then I tried other browsers, such as
FireFox and Opera and they worked every time. This is a Safari
problem.
So, if you're having problems with Safari 4.0 on Mac OSX uploading
files, you're not alone.
Cheers,
tedd

Hi. Our site http://rssphp.blogspot.net http://rssphp.blogspot.net is
working on providing possible solutions to the problem with different
parsing methods in PHP. It's worth to have a look at the options.

scan anyone tell me how to get the url attribute? I wrote some codes
similar:
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load($myFlickrRss);
$r = $doc->getElementsByTagName('media:content');
for($i=0;$i<=$r->length;$i++) {
$node = $r->item($i);
if ($node->hasAttribute('url') {
$url[] = $node->>getAttribute('url');
}
}
That should give you an array called $url of all the url attributes in
the nodes.
