[PHP] PHP Include Help
I have a series of text files that are set up with each line being a different field. Line "0" is song title, "1" is artist, "2" is album, and so forth. I know how to use PHP to include those files in an HTML template so that I don't have to make a separate page for each song, however, I do have two problems: On line "6", I have the list of musicians in the song. Example (ignore the quotes): "Doyle Lawson -- lead vocal; Dale Perry -- bass vocal" Is there a way to make it so that, when I include line 6 in my PHP template, the ";" will be replaced with a line break so I get one musician per line in the HTML output? Lines 7 and so on are the lyrics. The text file has one line per line (makes sense, right?) and a blank line between sections of the song. I have the script set up to read all the lines from 7 on, but it jumbles them all together, ignoring the line breaks. Is there a way to script PHP to add the line breaks, or should the line break HTML just be inserted everywhere needed in all my separate files?

[PHP] Including Text File in PHP/HTML Template
I have a series of text files that are set up with each line being a different field. Line "0" is song title, "1" is artist, "2" is album, and so forth. I know how to use PHP to include those files in an HTML template using 'echo' so that I don't have to make a separate page for each song, however, I do have two problems: On line "6", I have the list of musicians in the song. Example (ignore the quotes): "Doyle Lawson -- lead vocal; Dale Perry -- bass vocal" Is there a way to make it so that, when I include line 6 in my PHP template, the ";" will be replaced with a line break so I get one musician per line in the HTML output?

[PHP] Recursive Replace
That line of code successfully will display lines 7 and on of an included text file into my HTML boilerplate. However, in my hundreds of source text files, "" is not included at the end of the lines, therefore lines 7 and on appear as one chunk of text, rather than neatly formatted lines. How can I combine that line of code with str_replace() or some other replace function in order to turn "\n" into "" for each line. I've experimented with several different possibilities, but none of them output anything. Please help ASAP. The lyrics site is the most popular part of my website, and unfortunately it's down until I get this code figured out. -- Kyrie Eleison, Rick www.spiritsword.com/phpBB2/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Recursive Replace
Nevermind. Leave it to me to make a very stupid mistake. I fixed it though, and now it works great. For any who are interested, here is the working code... Dunno why you'd need it, but whatever: ",$info[$i]); echo $new7; } ?> My mistake was leaving that I left the second '$' out of '$info[$i]'. At least I found it before I frustrated myself. Thanks anyway! :-) -- Kyrie Eleison, Rick www.spiritsword.com/phpBB2/ Rick Beckman wrote: > > > That line of code successfully will display lines 7 and on of an > included text file into my HTML boilerplate.

[PHP] Calling Files from a different directory
I have a page set up that loads the contents of a text file into an HTML template using PHP. (i.e. something.com/page.php?include=1 where "1" is a simple no-extension text file in the same directoy as page.php). Is there a way to modify the PHP code in the template page to search for the included page in another directory? Right now, the only way to do it is to have the URL as "page.php?include=files/1". Currently, here is the code I use to takes the $include URL variable and makes the file accessible in the template: $info = file($include); -- Kyrie Eleison, Rick www.spiritsword.com/phpBB2/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free because I care.

Re: [PHP] Calling Files from a different directory
Sarcasm aside, I do have the script set up (although I didn't note so in the
last response) to not accept files with '.' or '..' in the path. The URL can
accept directories within the one the PHP script is in, but not in a
different path or any directory above its own (i.e., the server files).

[PHP] Umm... Uh-oh
Okay, I was mistaken... There is a gaping security hole in my simple li'l
script... How do I modify it to only accept files from a certain path? I
want the url format to be script.php?call=1 where "1" is the called file in
the /includes/ directory. Just when I get optimistic I leave the entire
system exposed. Yeah, that fits with my luck. :-)

[PHP] the files I'm working with
song.php is the file that I'm using as my template file, and it calls
information from the includes/ directory, which the file "1" would be in. If
someone would please look at song.php (I stripped it down to the basics
pretty much) and let me know the best and most secure way to do what I want
it to do. When finished, the includes directory will have dozens of files
(numbered 1 and up), as you can see from the dropdown list in song.php .
Thanks for the help.
