Untested, but something like that. Read file into an array, loop through
each line trying to match word at beginning. If there's a match, remove
line, then write new data at the end.

Re: [PHP] Text file wont' have newlines?

Hi everybody,
I have this script in a file that allows users to upload files, and I want
to know who submitted what so I write $userfile_name and $credit1(their
name) to CREDIT.txt in the same directory like so :
$credit = $userfile_name.': '.$credit1.\n;
$fp = fopen('CREDIT.txt','a');
fwrite($fp, $credit);
fclose($fp);
But every new submission ends up on the same line, there is never a line
break in the text. Any suggestions?
Try \r\n or chr(10):
$credit = $userfile_name.': '.$credit1.\r\n;
$credit = $userfile_name.': '.$credit1.chr(10);

RE: [PHP] Text file manipulation question.

From: Lloyd Bayley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: 15 July 2003 00:21
I'm still in the learning stages of PHP and require some help
with a small
problem.
I need to take a text file which looks like this (and no I
can't get it
output in CSV - damn and blast!)
user1 26:48:59 6 logins 4:28:09 hrs/login
user2 19:07:50 33 logins 0:34:46 hrs/login
user3 12:12:04 18 logins 0:40:40 hrs/login
user49:48:58 9 logins 1:05:26 hrs/login
What I want to do (in PHP) is read the list in and search for
a username,
then display the associated statistics for that user.
I'm hoping to get the logistics right first before wrapping
it in a form.
Breaking it up into a list works well, except for the fact
that the spaces
between elements are not necessarily the same. (bother!)
Any suggestions, like for example to convert a string of
spaces (greater
than 1) to a comma perhaps to facilitate easier list building?
Try
preg_split('/ +/', $line);
to get an array of the values on a single line. You could easily do this to
each line of the file and build an array of arrays to give you the full data
structure. With a bit of judicious manipulation, you could even use the
usernames as the key of the outer array.
Cheers!

Assuming you read each line of the file into a variable called $line:
//replace more than one space to a comma
$newline = ereg_replace(' +', ',', $line);
Translates:
user1 26:48:59 6 logins 4:28:09 hrs/login

RE: [PHP] Text File open and display
You get a file to an array of lines with file().
Example:
?
$myFile = file(text_file.txt);
// Now $myFile is an array looking like
// [0] = row 1;
// [1] = row 2;
// [2] = row 3;
// .
for ($i = 0; $i count($myFile); $i++)
{
print Row .($i+1).: .$myFile[$i];
};

Re: [PHP] text file reading and overwrite
Have a problem in reading a text file and displaying it in a text box area,also what function should i used to overwrite an existing text file. For textarea type text boxes, use the following - textarea$var/textarea Please note that if you include *any* kind of spaces or tabs or other characters between the textarea tags that it will dump them into the text area as well. i.e. - textarea $var /textarea The 'action' file of the form will receive the following (unless the contents are modified of course) - \n$var\n For input type text boxes, use the following - input type='text' value='$var' / As to reading a file, see Example 1 under fgets(). For deleting files, see unlink(). Patrick p.s. you'll want to html encode $var before dumping it into either one of these or else the contents of $var could mess up the html in the page. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can't tell you anything about your problem without knowing what's going on (error messages are helpful).
