[PHP] writing to file
i have this app where a user fills out a form and after submit it displays the values they entered. i want to save this info to a file after they submit, then allow them to download the file. some other user does the same, fills in the form and allow that person to download the file... and so on. i don't know how i should go about doing this.. rather than keep creating files i would like to recycle the file each time someone uses the system, but that can lead to other problems.. like several users using the app at once.. any suggestion/ideas/tips how i should do this? basically, just write the info from POST to a file and allow them to download the file. obviously i am worried how secure i will be able to make this. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

obviously i am worried how secure i will be able to make this.
alot depends on whether the user will be allowed to download the file
only in the current session or at any time in the future.
also security has 2 sides - protection on the server (from other
people hosting on the same machine, and protection on the 'outside'
from unauthorized users trying to download other peoples files
(which would require some kind of login mechanism)
note that in order to give a user a file to download when he/she
clicks something does not require an actual file to exist ...
you could store the data ('file contents') in a DB and have a script
which when requested with the correct parameters (GET args) will
extract the data from the DB (or whereever) and output it with the
correct headers (to force a download)
there is lots of info out there on how to create/output headers to
tell a browser that it should download whatever is returned from a
request. have a search - chances are you'll find something
chances are also that you'll get stuck because of the way certain
browsers f*** up when given 'download' headers - I've found it as much
art as science in the past ;-) any way if this turns out to be the case
we'll be seeing you :-)

Thanks, Chris Here's a great article on the subject from the Zend website: http://www.zend.com/zend/art/scriptcaching.php It's a little more complex than you would hope but is well thought out. --Separate directories is set up to hold the php source and the cached html. --The cached html directory is initially empty. --An Apache ErrorDocument directive is used to intercept the 404 document not found error when someone is requesting a page and to redirect it to a single caching script. --This caching script uses fopen() to open and then read the php script and to write the output to the cached html directory. Hats off to Zend for publishing this. It competes with their Zend Cache product. From the article: If your site contains a few small scripts, you may not need to bother with caching at all. On the other hand, if you rely on complex scripts and fresh data, you should use a much more sophisticated solution, such as the Zend Cache http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-cache.php.

Re: [PHP] Writing static file from dynamic PHP page
This is a great solution, except I cannot get PHP to exec the file that
has the 'wget' command in it.
What I have done is to create a file (wget.php) into the directory that
I want to wget the page into. I then chmod -R the directory to make
everything in it executable.
here is what is written to the file:
/usr/bin/wget -d http://path/to/file/index.html
Then in the PHP function I make a an exec call on that file
exec(/path/to/file/wget.php,$out,$err);
Everything is cool, except the exec does not happen. The $out array
looks like this:
Array
{
}
and the $err returns '126'
But the exec doesn't happen. If I run the contents of wget.php on the
command line, presto, it works.
So, what is the deal? Is it a problem with the apache user not having
access to wget through PHP??

Just build the site you want with PHP, and then use wget to suck down

Almost for sure, yes.
Though you've now made it even more complex, because maybe the PHP user
doesn't have eXec priveleges for your 'wget.php' file, in addition to not
having eXec priveleges to 'wget' in /usr/bin
Plus, having PHP able to write the file, and PHP able to eXec the file,
wget.php, would be a pretty gaping security hole on a shared server...
You've got to make it possible for the PHP user to:
A) eXec wget
B) Write into the output directory wget will use
Honestly, though, wget is *SO* easy, you may want to bypass PHP for that
part of it anyway -- A cron job to wget the site or a simple shell script
might be easier to work with than running PHP to run wget...

Re: [PHP] Writing static file from dynamic PHP page
Chris, I've done something like this to update website's static pages. Basically, in a php script I've replaced all of the print statements with $line.= statements to accumulate all the items you want printed into one long string. I've then ftp'ed this string, along with the name of the html page, to the website where the page is to be viewed. You could also set up an html page with links to a php page that generates the above stuff, and then use a header() command as the last line of the php page to go to the .html page you just generated. Hope this helps.

[PHP] Writing to file with function
I have written this function to rewrite the contents of a text file
after it's been updated. I store lines of data in an array and then
implode them into one string. The problem is that I'm getting an extra
line break (in other words a blank line is showing up in my text file)
after I modify a particular line. I checked the imploded string with
var_dump and don't see any line breaks besides the ones that separate
each line. Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting an extra line
break? The function is below with the code that calls it below that.

Re: [PHP] writing to file on server
When you are using that on your site, what basically happens is that you are
trying to open an FTP session with yourself. Not too efficient.
So just kill off the url and use the path to your file.

Hi,
I've just started working with PHP. I've made a guest book using PHP
(nothing spectacular) that worked just fine when I tested it op my pc, but
when I uploaded it, it stopped working.
My specific problem is that I cannot write to a file that already exists
and
contains data. When I try to I get these warnings:
Warning: File already exists
Warning: fopen("ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/guestbook.txt","a") - File
exists
Is this problem related to the FTP fopen? And is there a way to correct
this
problem?
Tnx!

Re: [PHP] writing to file on server
But when I try using the path to the file I get denied permission ...
How can I use my password then? Or can I bypass that in some way?
