PHP - File Write

Livar · Feb 9, 2012

Hey there, well I've been trying to make an installer, just can't get my head around what to write:

Here's my current code,

PHP:

<?php
/* ----------------------------------------
 * LEEXOWEB - CONTENT MANAGMENT SYSTEM
 * COMPATIBLE WITH UBEREMULATOR (PHOENIX)
 * ----------------------------------------
 * AUTHOR: LIVAR SHEKHANI (POWAHALERT)
 * AUTHOR: WWW.L-SHEKHANI.CO.UK
 * -------------------------------------- */

//Security reasons
DEFINE('SECURITY', true);

//Check if the configuration actually exists
if(!file_exists('../includes/configuration.php'))
{
    Header("Location: /index.php");
}

//Or define the installer
DEFINE('INSTALLER', true);

//Install function
if(isset($_POST['hotel_name']))
{
    $MySQL_Host = $_POST['MySQL_Host'];
    $MySQL_User = $_POST['MySQL_User'];
    $MySQL_Pass = $_POST['MySQL_Pass'];
    $MySQL_Data = $_POST['MySQL_Data'];
    
    $Hotel_Url = $_POST['Hotel_Url'];
    $Hotel_Name = $_POST['Hotel_Name'];
    
    $InstallName = './includes/configuration.php';
    $InstallOpen = fopen($InstallName, 'w');
    fwrite($InstallOpen, 'here now');
    fclose($InstallOpen); 
}

?>

            <br>Hello there, and welcome to LeexoWEB's own installer, nice isn't it? LeexoWEB is a Content Management System which was made by <b>Livar Shekhani</b>, I have really tried to put 'effort' into this CMS, so please make the use of this System.

            <br>
            <br>Please make a new .PHP file called 'configuration' and put it into your 'includes' folder, with the contents of this:

</textarea>
    </div>
        
        
        
</body>

but I wan't to make it as a click of a button, but how can I make the file write function write this:

PHP:

/* ----------------------------------------
 * LEEXOWEB - CONTENT MANAGMENT SYSTEM
 * COMPATIBLE WITH UBEREMULATOR (PHOENIX)
 * ----------------------------------------
 * AUTHOR: LIVAR SHEKHANI (POWAHALERT)
 * AUTHOR: WWW.L-SHEKHANI.CO.UK
 * --------------------------------------*/

//Database variables
$Database['mysql']['hostname'] = 'HOST';
$Database['mysql']['username'] = 'USERNAME';
$Database['mysql']['password'] = 'PASSWORD';
$Database['mysql']['database'] = 'DATABASE';

//System variables
$System['host']['url'] = 'HOTEL URL';
$System['hotel']['name'] = 'HOTEL NAME';
$System['password']['secret_hash'] = 'bgdu!"**"£$%^N/,illeexoUdvdabohr%dv';

the issue is, it's to big for the fwrite, any chance i can do it in a variable or.....

I never tested it so I'm not sure if it will work as you want it to, but try this:

PHP:

<?php
$file_to_create = "config.php";
 
$data_to_write = "/* ----------------------------------------";
$data_to_write .= " * LEEXOWEB - CONTENT MANAGMENT SYSTEM";
$data_to_write .= " * COMPATIBLE WITH UBEREMULATOR (PHOENIX)";
$data_to_write .= " * ----------------------------------------";
$data_to_write .= " * AUTHOR: LIVAR SHEKHANI (POWAHALERT)";
$data_to_write .= " * AUTHOR: WWW.L-SHEKHANI.CO.UK";
$data_to_write .= " * --------------------------------------*/";
$data_to_write .= "";
$data_to_write .= "//Database variables";
$data_to_write .= '$Database[\'mysql\'][\'hostname\'] = \'HOST\';';
$data_to_write .= '$Database[\'mysql\'][\'username\'] = \'USERNAME\';';
$data_to_write .= '$Database[\'mysql\'][\'password\'] = \'PASSWORD\';';
$data_to_write .= '$Database[\'mysql\'][\'database\'] = \'DATABASE\';';
$data_to_write .= "";
$data_to_write .= "//System variables";
$data_to_write .= '$System[\'host\'][\'url\'] = \'HOTEL URL\';';
$data_to_write .= '$System[\'hotel\'][\'name\'] = \'HOTEL NAME\';';
$data_to_write .= '$System[\'password\'][\'secret_hash\'] = \'bgdu!"**"£$%^N/,illeexoUdvdabohr%dv\';';
 
$createfile = fopen( $file_to_create, "w" ); //create file "config.php"
 
fwrite( $data_to_write, $createfile );
 
//$file_to_create has been created and written to!
 
fclose( $createfile );
?>

You must be registered for see links

, it creates the file, just doesn't write it?

Markshall · Feb 9, 2012

What does it do to the file? Nothing?

Livar · Feb 9, 2012

Absolutely nothing, here's my current code:

PHP:

<?php

DEFINE('SECURITY', true);

//Check if the configuration actually exists
if(!file_exists('../includes/configuration.php'))
{
    Header("Location: /index.php");
}

//Or define the installer
DEFINE('INSTALLER', true);

//Install function
if(isset($_POST['Hotel_Name']))
{
    $MySQL_Host = $_POST['MySQL_Host'];
    $MySQL_User = $_POST['MySQL_User'];
    $MySQL_Pass = $_POST['MySQL_Pass'];
    $MySQL_Data = $_POST['MySQL_Data'];
    
    $Hotel_Url = $_POST['Hotel_Url'];
    $Hotel_Name = $_POST['Hotel_Name'];
    
    $InstallName = '../includes/configuration.php';
    $InstallOpen = fopen($InstallName, 'w');

    fclose($InstallOpen);

Just for testing purposes, remove all lines of '$data_to_write' except the first one and put something like "test 123" or something, then execute your code just to see if it works.

Livar · Feb 9, 2012

Nope, still doesn't write it.

Markshall · Feb 9, 2012

Change

PHP:

if(isset($_POST['Hotel_Name']))

to

PHP:

if(isset($_POST['Login']))

Because if 'Hotel_Name' doesn't have a value, it won't execute the code, so you want to change it to your Login button, which does have a value.

Anyway, try this:

PHP:

$open = fopen( "../includes/configuration.php", "w" );
fwrite( "Hello", $open );
fclose( $open);

Try that. Remove all the other stuff you have and replace it with that, then retry.

Livar · Feb 9, 2012

No cigar:

PHP:

if(isset($_POST['Install']))
{
    $open = fopen("../includes/configuration.php", "w");
    fwrite("Hello", $open);
    fclose($open);
}

Finally got it to write, thanks!
