Single Page to read and update config file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 08.2012

I am constructing a config file for certain variables to be used in a script that will be changed from time to time, and would like to make any changes all via a single webpage.

The config file is a .txt flat file with entries like this:

$variable1 = “sometext”;
$variable2 = “somenumber”;

On the single update page, I plan to use a separate SUBMIT button so that changes will ONLY be made to the desired $variable in the config file.

When loading single page with multiple fields from the config file, each of the $variable fields needs to be populated with the current $variable settings so I can see the current status before making any changes.

There must be a simple way to do this. Maybe?

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Ciao,

@StuckInLimboauthorMar 08.2012 — Sorry, I forgot to mention the single page for updating will be php, but with the form in html something like this (unless it requires all php to work):

<html>

<head>

<title>CONFIG UPDATE</title>

</head>

<body>

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

Variable #1: <INPUT NAME="variable1" type="text" size=6 maxlength="10" value="">

<INPUT name="submit" type="submit" class=submitbutton value="UPDATE">

<INPUT name="reset" type="reset" class=resetbutton value="RESET">

</FORM>

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

Variable #2: <INPUT NAME="variable2" type="text" size=6 maxlength="10" value="">

<INPUT name="submit" type="submit" class=submitbutton value="UPDATE">

<INPUT name="reset" type="reset" class=resetbutton value="RESET">

</FORM>

</body>

</html>

... But with about 10 entries.

Thank you.
