writing to html file

@NogDogNov 18.2006 — #Sure there's a way. PHP has all sorts of [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php]filesystem functions[/url]. The question will be what features you need and what sort of security restrictions. (You really don't want it to be easy for someone else to hack your sites to bit through an unsecure site update form.)

You might want to check out the various script sites for a ready-made content management system (CMS) and see if there's one with the features you need and that seems to have reasonable security measures built in.

@so_is_thisNov 18.2006 — #Here is a simplistic little example of updating an HTML page -- this one updates itself:

[code=php]<?php
 $file = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
 if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'):
 $append = html_entity_decode($_POST['append']);
 $append = preg_replace('/<[^>]*>/', '', $append);
 $append = htmlentities($append);
 if(!empty($append)):
 $lf = "n";
 $str = file_get_contents($file);
 $tag = html_entity_decode('&lt;!-- append here --&gt;');
 $str = str_replace($tag, '<p>' .wordwrap($append, 70, '<br>'.$lf).
 '</p>' .$lf.$lf. $tag, $str);
 $fp = fopen($file, "w");
 fwrite($fp, $str);
 fclose($fp);
 header("Location: {$file}#append");
 exit;
 endif;
 endif;
 ?>
