Re: [PHP] writing Excel files through PHP






Use full uri. But the user needs to be online while viewing the xls file.

Other option is to create web archive. It's a mime encoded file, save an 
excel file with an embeded image and you will see what it is.

Web archive is a simple textfile (zipped if I remember well) very 
similar to multipart emails. To see how it looks save a spreadsheet in 
web archive format, give the file zip extension and unzip it.

[PHP] Writing to files

2003-07-11 Thread Jason Giangrande
Is there a way to write to a beginning of a file without it overwriting
data that's already there or do I have to write to the end of the file
in order to preserve data?  I ask because it would be much easier to
print the lines of the file out in order of last added first if I could
add lines at the top of the file.

Not without reading the entire file into a variable first then appending
that variable to the data you wish to add and saving the entire file again
(which will obviously take longer than appending to the end of the file).

Any ideas on how I can print the lines of my file in reverse order,
then?  Does fgets() always process from the beginning of the file even
if you open the file with the pointer at the end?  I tried to get the
line count of the file and go through each line of the file backwards
but that doesn't seem to work, so either it's impossible or I'm going
about it the wrong way.  Here's the code:

$fh = fopen(data.txt, a+) or die(Could not open file);
$line_num = 0;
while (! feof($fh)) {
if ($line = fgets($fh, 1048576)) {

You could try using the file() function.  Then loop backward through the
array or use array_reverse.

Hi All

The following is the text file generated. I'm runing on Windows 2k spack 3,
When I open it in Excell it gives me the data but not seperated into lines.
Do you have any suggestions.



It does for me in Excle 97 SP2, but I suspect there should be more lines 
than there are (I get 13 lines). Some lines look as though they should 
be split up. Assuming each line should begin with a date, then they are 
not on separate lines because there is no end-of-line there.

Precisely where did you get the b in your second parameter to fopen? 

I didn't see it on the fopen manual page at: 



http://www.php.net/fopen http://www.php.net/fopen   



 

Er -- quoting from that very page:

 



Note: The mode may contain the letter 'b'. This is useful only on systems

which differentiate between binary and text files (i.e. Windows. It's

useless on Unix). If not needed, this will be ignored. You are encouraged to

include the 'b' flag in order to make your scripts more portable

 Looks like you're using fopen() incorrectly. Try:

   fopen($file_name,r+);

How about just

fopen($file_name, r+);

instead.  No need for the surrounding s.

[PHP] Writing to Files

2002-04-05 Thread Sebastian A.

Hey All,
I have recently been trying to create some logs for the install script I
have been making (to make it easier for me to diagnose problems) but I am
wondering how to create and write to text files. I know about the fopen()
and fwrite() functions, which theoretically should enable me to do this
however I am not exactly sure how I should go about this. Also, I realize
that there is limited formatting I can have with text, however I would like
to know if its possible to control the line spacing between the entries, and
whether or not its possible to indent lines. Lastly, are text files a good
idea for logs? Do any of you use anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks for all your help!

There is no need to use cookies, sessions, write to a file or somethings

Eg.

Suggest you understand how session management works.  Whether you store
in a file or database, the entries are removed if the user fails to
return after a limit amount of time, and are kept in a separate table in
the database. You can post the results to your actual data tables when
you are completed. If you don't want to store the data in files, or in a
database, what did you have in mind?  There is no rule that says you can
only store permanent data in a data base.

RE: [PHP] Writing to files

2002-02-27 Thread Warren Vail

Not sure I understand how you concluded that web server should not create
files, it certainly should not be able to create files on client machines
without permission of user (which it cannot do).  Users should not be able
to upload files to the server without the permission of the web application,
but if a web application performs the upload and controls where the file
goes and what is in the file, that would be safe.  If the web application
completely controls where temporary files go and what goes in them
(variables) then how is that unsafe?

On the subject of using the database, check out which environment variables
that actually control session management (you can do this by running the
phpinfo() function.  There are two major configuration options which you
have full control over; 1. If the sys admin controls the default
configuration of where to write the session data (usually points to /tmp
directory), then the session_set_save_handler function is your way to
override those parameters.  2.  In fact if you read the routine that
performs garbage collection (deletes expired session data) session
management will pass to that routine the parameter that controls the default
lifetime from the sysadmin's setup data, which you as the writer of the
routine are free to ignore and use your own.  Only caveat is you need to
include these routines in every page that records data to a session (no big
deal).

I wish you luck on this, you seem to have been advised on some rules, by
people who didn't know what they were talking about, or perhaps you
understood their recommendations out of context, and that makes it hard for
you.  I really think session management is the way to resolve your problem.
It would be interesting for you to get a couple of opinions on the subject
of creating files on a server.  You could create routines that would write
to physical files in these save_handler functions and put them in your user
directory if you like, but I would not mix these files in the same directory
as your application code, perhaps a sub directory.  I would be willing to
bet there are log files that are updated on your server every time someone
accesses one of your web pages.

Good luck,

Warren Vail

It uses more than 20 variables so I can not store the data in cookies.
I could store the data in a temp file created but problem is that the
webserver would need to create
The file which is a security risk (I would like to find another way
other than this).
I don't really want to use sessions but if it's the last resort I guess
I will have to.

Other than the above any one have a better soluition?

What you are describing is exactly how session management works, storing
things in a file in the /tmp directory.  Perhaps you could consider using
the session save handler functions to store the session data in your
protected database (MySQL?).

The data will be stored in mysql, but I don't wish to store in sql
untill its completed.
In case a user leave the application before completing it.

[PHP] Writing PHP files from inside a PHP file

2002-02-06 Thread Georgie Casey

I want to extract information from a database table and create a
half-static, half-dynamic PHP page from the info. I want to store the
template for the new page in an external file with tags in the places where
I want variables to be printed. What;s the best of achieving this??

I tried fread but that just printed ? echo $variable; ? to the static
page instead of replacing it with the value.

Any suggestions?

[PHP] Writing to files

2001-05-14 Thread Tarrant Costelloe

What's the most basic syntax for writing to a text file using PHP. I would
like to store some variables in one and then retrieve them a later stage...?

This will append This is pretty basic to the end of the file instead of
overwriting the file.

?php
$basic = fopen(basic.txt, a+);
fputs($basic, This is pretty basic\n);
fclose($basic);
?

It is really easy to read in the entire file into an array.  Probably
not very efficient, but will get you started quickly.

?php
$prettyBasic = file(basic.txt);
for($i = 0; $i  sizeof($prettyBasic); $i++) {
   echo $prettyBasic[$i]br;
}
?

Search the online manual for more information on these functions.
