I can already do that.
My problem is that I need to move or copy/delete the file from the place
I do have permission to write to to the root.
I have generated a PHP page but it is no good where it is, I need to
automatically move this page and because the owner of the page is HTTPD
and NoGROUP it doesn't let me. I get permission errors.
I have tried chmod() and chown() the files I've written also to no
avail.
I'd really appreciate help because I don't know much at all about
permissions, changing them or how I can automatically do this.
Below is the code I have worked out up to now to generate the page. It's
the part after the string which I have now tried about 60 different ways
to adjust!
function generate_page($formid, $pagename)
{
// Give the function the string to be generated including formid passed
from
// previous form
$string = "<?php \$SECTION_NAME = \"goldfish_cms.php\";
// include the files from output fns to get functions which design the
page
include ('output_fns.php');
db_connect();
\$query = \"select * from goldfish_content where PageID='$formid'\";
\$result = mysql_query(\$query) or die(\"Error: Query failure
with<BR>\$query<BR>\".mysql_error());
while (\$array = mysql_fetch_array(\$result))
{
\$HeadTitle = \"\{\$array[\"HeadTitle\"]}\";
\$PageTitle = \"\{\$array[\"Title\"]}\";
\$BodyText = \"\{\$array[\"BodyText\"]}\";
\$Picture1 = \"\{\$array[\"PictureOne\"]}\";
\$Picture2 = \"\{\$array[\"PictureTwo\"]}\";
\$CatID = \"\{\$array[\"CatID\"]}\";
}
// carry the variable head title in the page and do the page header
do_html_header(\$HeadTitle);
// carry variables into do_html_index() function in output_fns.
// Page title = The headline of the page
// Body text = The text body, can include html commands.
// Picture 1 = picture or graphic that appears above the title if
required.
// Picture 2 = Picture that appears right hand side on the basic
output_fns
// CatID = Category which is used for determining which links appear
on each page
// Section name = Allows you to specify extra functions to
output_fns.php to be unique to the page (requires hard coding)
do_html_index(\$PageTitle, \$BodyText, \$Picture1, \$Picture2,
\$CatID, \$SECTION_NAME);
// put the page footer in position
do_html_footer();
?>";
// Define the filename to write to.
$filename = 'test.txt';
// Open the file for overwriting.
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
// Write the string to the file
$write = fputs($fp, $string);
// Close the file
fclose($fp);
// copy the page as a php file
$fp2 = fopen($filename, "r");
$root = "/home/root/";
copy($filename, $root);
// rename the filename in the root directory to the pagename
rename($filename, "$pagename.php");
fclose($fp2);
// end of function.
}
// call the functions.
generate_page($formid, $pagename);
?>
