Hi pradeepjain,
I have tried this with the following file:
-
name:micahel
-
location:Newcastle
-
name:Steven
-
location:Liverpool
-
name:Jamie
-
location:Liverpool
-
Using the following php
[php]
<?php
$filehandle = fopen("test.txt ","r");
$line=true;
echo '<form method=post action=action.p hp>';
while($filehand le && $line)
{
$line = fgets($filehand le);
if (!empty($line))
{
$str = explode(':', $line);
echo $str[0] . ': <input type="text" name="'.$str[0].'" value="'.$str[1].'"><br />';
}
}
echo '<input type=submit value= submit>';
echo '</form>'
?>
[/php]
This gives me a page with 6 text boxes and labels on.
The text file is currently in the same directory as the php file but that shouldn't make any difference.
Hopefully you will get this finished in time for Saturday and will have learnt a bit more about PHP.
Please take some time after this project to read some php tutorials. This will give you a better understanding of the basics and help you to get better at it very quickly.
Cheers

Yes! It is working correctly. The item on the left of the : in the txt file is the label and the item on the right of the : in the ext file is the contents of the input box.
If you could have been bothered to run this yourself you would see that it is working in the way you described.
Please run this and see! This is after all you rproject and I feel that you are doing very little to help yourself. I keep helping you becasue I am kind and like to see everyone succeed but if you do not help yourself a bit more I'll disappear.

In what whay is this not working for you?
Do you have permission to read the text file on your system?
I do not know what you mean when you say it is not working for you. The code I gave in my previous post works just fine for me.
The code you supplied alos works for me. When I change the file name to the test file I have set up it works perfectly. I do not understand what the problem is now.

Do you have php installed?
what happens if you have page called test.php that has only the following code in it:
[php]
<?php phpInfo() ;?>
[/php]
Run this via //localhost/test.php and tell me what you get on screen.
Also, what web server and O/S are you running on? There are somethingns you need to set up in IIS to get php to work.

Hi,
How frustrating, after all this you don't have PHP installed!
You need to go to the main php site and figure this out there, unless someone else can help. I am running PHP on Windows and have never used Linux. The instal process for Windows uses an msi and is all self explanatory.
Perhaps you could post another question asking for help installing php on linux, I know the LAMP (Linux Apache, MySQL, PHP) combination is very popular (if not the most popular) so you will be able to get some help on that. Though ask the question without mentioing this thread.
Hopefully, once installed your code should work fine.
I hope you get this resolved in time - the code will work once the environment is in place.
Cheers
nathj

Glad we finally got there on that.
As for writing back to the file the $_POST variable is really an array, so you can loop through the array and then write to file when you hit a key() value of name or location. This should sort you out nicely.
Have a go and if you get stuck post the code you've got and I'll have a play around with it.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
