Create a PHP page with PHP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 31.2012

I know the title sounds weird, but what I want is to create and store a page that uses php from a php script in another page. It must be possible, since I should be able to generate the whole page as a string and scape the ” and $ characters, but I don’t know how. Does anyone can give me the answer or point to a tutorial or search terms I could use? Thanks

@George88Jul 31.2012 — You can open the PHP file in question as a string using [FONT="Courier New"]file_get_contents()[/FONT], the use [FONT="Courier New"]fopen()[/FONT] to save the file out as a new file with an extension of your choice. For example:
[code=php]<?php
// Create a new file with fopen.
$handle = fopen("new_text_file.txt", "w");

// Get the contents of the original file.
$original_file = file_get_contents("original_file.txt", true);

// Write the new file based on the above.
$write = fwrite($handle, $original_file);
?>
[/code]
You'll need to create a [i].txt[/i] file in the same directory called "original_file" with some data inside it, such as "Hello World". Once the code runs, it'll copy the contents of that file and write it out as a new file.

[CODE]<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
$all=chr(10);[COLOR="Blue"]// carriage return[/COLOR]
$tab=chr(9);[COLOR="Blue"]// tabulation[/COLOR]
$ans="2012-13";[COLOR="Blue"]// a data[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]// Build the file[/COLOR]
$chn='<?php'.$all.$all.$tab.'/* Fichier de configuration */'.$all.$all.$tab;

$chn.='// Les titres en fonction des pages ou niveaux'.$all.$tab;
$chn.='$f_pagTtl = array('.$all.$tab.$tab;
$chn.='"accueil"=>"&#201;cole &#233;l&#233;mentaire Marcel Lafitan",'.$all.$tab.$tab;
$chn.='"cp"=>"Cours pr&#233;paratoire",'.$all.$tab.$tab;
$chn.='"ce1"=>"Cours &#233;l&#233;mentaire 1&#232;re ann&#233;e",'.$all.$tab.$tab;

$chn.='"cm1"=>"Cours moyen 1&#232;re ann&#233;e",'.$all.$tab.$tab;
$chn.='"cm2"=>"Cours moyen 2&#232;me ann&#233;e");'.$all.$all.$tab;

[COLOR="Blue"]// Lines to define two array : $usr and $ensLng

$chn.='?>';

[COLOR="Blue"]// Write the file[/COLOR]
$fch="inc_config.$ans.txt";
$hdl=fopen($fch,'wb');
fwrite($hdl,$chn);fclose($hdl);
rename($fch,"inc_config.$ans.php");
?>[/CODE]

The problem is with utf-8... A configuration file build with this method contains a BOM which causes troubles in include files (except for the last PHP versions).

Then the question is how to write dynamically a PHP file without BOM ? I am not sure the method supra is the best to avoid this BOM ?

@FSDesignsAug 02.2012 — You could always Base64 encode it and then decode it as you write it with fwrite().

(I know many of you don't like the idea of it, but it gets around many issues)

Hit me up with a PM if you'd like some help ?

@007JulienAug 02.2012 — I does not understand the interest to encode to decode, I believed that fwrite added the BOM?

I have never had fwrite produce a BOM. It has always been a "fancy" editor trying to do something for me I didn't ask for. Are you sure it is producing a BOM?

Success!
