user's simple entry onto a webpage?

**HWL** · 06-16-2010, 07:08 PM

thanks you for your time.....
still no go
I wrote the new file, and chmodd'ed both files to 777 to be sure...
I dont see the form box, and the size of the text file is still zero

**HWL** · 06-16-2010, 07:11 PM

if I enter a number into the price.txt file it shows, so we are not writing into that file

**bluewalrus** · 06-16-2010, 07:56 PM

hmm how about if you put this in to see what is happening

PHP Code:


<?php

    echo "Processing";

    if (isset($_POST['access']) && $_POST['access'] = "password") {

    echo "Processing" . "password set";

    //this assumes the users password is password for access. You can also hash this with md5 if you want or some other method of your choosing

        if (isset($_POST['new_price']) && $_POST['new_price'] !="") {

            echo "Processing" . "price set";

          $price = $_POST['new_price'];

            echo "price is $price";

          $current_price = "price.txt";

            echo "file is $current_price";

          file_put_contents($current_price, $price);

        }

    }

if (isset($_GET['price']) && $_GET['price'] !="") {

    ?>

     <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">

    Input the New Price to be displayed:<input type="text" name="new_price" /><br />

     Input your Password:<input type="password" name="access" /><br />

     <input type="submit" />

     </form>

<?php

} else {

$current_price = "price.txt";

$price_is = file_get_contents($current_price);

?>

thanks

**HWL** · 06-16-2010, 08:07 PM

can you strip all the existing page info out, I'll make a new file and we can see if the base file works?

**HWL** · 06-16-2010, 08:09 PM

I am running a Blue Quartz server with PHP version: 4.3.9

**bluewalrus** · 06-16-2010, 08:28 PM

Oh that's the problem file_put_contents doesnt work in php 4. Have to rewrite it with fopen...

**bluewalrus** · 06-17-2010, 12:15 AM

Rewritten, fixed another problem too.

PHP Code:


<?php
    if (isset($_POST['access']) && $_POST['access'] == "password") {
    //this assumes the users password is password for access. You can also hash this with md5 if you want or some other method of your choosing
        if (isset($_POST['new_price']) && $_POST['new_price'] !="") {
          $price = $_POST['new_price'];
          $current_price = "price.txt";
        $file_save = fopen($current_price, 'w');
        fwrite($file_save, $price);
        fclose($file_save);
        }
    }
if (isset($_GET['price']) && $_GET['price'] !="") {
    ?>
     <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
    Input the New Price to be displayed:<input type="text" name="new_price" /><br />
     Input your Password:<input type="password" name="access" /><br />
     <input type="submit" />
     </form>
<?php
} else {
$current_price = "price.txt";
$price_is = file_get_contents($current_price);

updated
still not writing to the price.txt file (777)
thank you

**djr33** · 06-17-2010, 03:06 AM

I'd suggest finding out how to write a file on your server. This is now a large and complex script, and there's no need to test within it when there could be a number of things causing problems for writing files. Once you find a method that works on your server, adapt the script to use that and it should be fine.
