A Few Things I Need Help On PHP

[Private_Guy]

Hi there all,

How is everybody doing? Well I was wondering how to do the followings:

1. Creating a Call Back Script which tells you who is using your script and etc..

2. How to change PHP Strings by a form. Example, I have a string called $SITE_NAME and want it to be changed by a form which changed the config.php by itself if you know what I mean?

Thanks very much for your help and support :).

Best Regards,

If #2 is saying what I think it is, I just did a script like that. Let me just make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Say $SITE_NAME = 'something.com';

Then, someone submits a form to give $SITE_NAME a new declaration, 'something2.com'? So, thus making it $SITE_NAME = 'something2.com';?

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick reply. Well no, Lets say I have SITE_NAME= Someone.com in a file called config.php. Now I want to change the value of SITE_NAME by a form, e.g. Form.php. Do you get me now?

So mainly, changing a php string by a form.

Thanks very much.

Yes, that's what I said. Basically, I just did something like this. Here:

Take a look at that code. It's a little complicated for what you need, but the main idea for your problem is in write.php

Hi there,

But im sure its must simpler then that, it has too much codes which you sent me. Here, I will give you the following file names which it needs:

* We will use the string SITE_NAME HERE
<?
include("config.php");
include("functions.php");
?>

Now a form here, to change the Site_Name string included in the config.php file.

Thanks very much.

I'd have to modify my code a lot to do that, so I'll just give you the gist.

Look at the following piece of code from write.php:



if(@$_POST[$edit_file]){
$page = $_POST[$edit_file];
$pageu = strtoupper($edit_file);
$newcontent = '$'.$edit_file.' = <<<'.$pageu.'101291'."\n".$page."\n".$pageu.'101291;';

list($a,$b) = explode('$'.$edit_file,$php_file,2);
list($b,$c) = explode($pageu."101291;",$b,2);
$php_final = $a."\n\n".$newcontent."\n\n".$c;


$file = 'inc.php';
$file = @fopen($file,'w+');
@fwrite($file,$php_final);
@fclose($file);

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='.$success.'">';}


For mine, it's written a bit different, but do you see what it's doing?

[Private_Guy]

Dam.. You have to do all this, I thought you basically had to do the following:

fopen("config.php")
fwrite("config.php") something like that. lol

[alexjewell]

Haha, well, how many variables are in config.php?

[Private_Guy]

Haha, only 11 Variables :)

[alexjewell]

then you do need something like the above. If it were only one, you'd need something simple, a few lines.

Now, since it's 11 variables, then it's the above. Do you understand the code?

[Private_Guy]

Not really :S. Sorry, but im not a pro on PHP, do you have Gmail or Yahoo or MSN messenger? :). Cheers

[Private_Guy]
