Hi everybody,

well I don´t want to include and use those variables or set then. I want to read the file, parse the vars to a form, so the user can change the system configs using the web instead of FTP...

I am thinking reading using a simple include, and then clean the file contents and write the strings..

One simple way that I've done that in the past is to have a file, which is a basic php file like:

<?php

$INFO['prefix_sectionInForm'] = 'whatever';

?>


Include that file then do

foreach( $INFO as $in_key => $in_val )
{
        if( preg_match("/prefix_/", $in_key) )
        {
                $db_info[$in_key] = $in_val;
        }
}
foreach( $db_info as $in_key => $in_val )
{
        $text = ucfirst(substr( $in_key, however long the prefix is ));
        $print "Some descroptor based on the prefix".$text
                <input type='text' name='$in_key' value='in_val' />
}

Then just write it all back out on the form processor part, with some security checking of course:

$file_string = "<?php\n";

$update is an array with the key values I want..

foreach( $update as $info_key )
{
        foreach( $input as $in_key => $in_val )
        {
                if( $info_key == $in_key )
                {
                        $new[$info_key] = $in_val;
                }
        }
}
                
foreach( $new as $k => $v )
{
        $file_string .= "\$INFO["."'".$k."'"."]\t\t\t=\t\"".$v."\";\n";
}

$file_string .= "\n".'?'.'>';

Write $file_string back out to the config file.

Like I said, there's more to the script than this, error checks, seurity checks and the like, but this is the 'meat' of it all.
