Ok here is what i trying to do:
- User enters the document name and extenstion he/she wants to edit,
- PHP takes it via variables to edit.php,
- user clicks submit on edit.php and is taken to done.php with confirmation and echo of new content.
how im doing this is file_get_content.
Here i the code for edit.php and done.php:
EDIT.php
<?php
//define name:
$name = $_POST['name'];
//define ext:
$ext = $_POST['ext'];
/*------------------------------------------------------*/
//Grab the file:
$content = file_get_contents($name . $ext)
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="done.php">
<p>
<input name="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $name.$ext; ?>">
</p>
<p>
<label>
<textarea name="edited" id="edited" cols="80" rows="25"><?php echo $content; ?></textarea>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Edit : <?php echo $name.$ext; ?>">
</label>
</p>
</form>
DONE.php
<?php
//defines
$text = $_POST['edited'];
echo $text;
?>
I used echo before I did file_put_contents so i know it will work.
But it doesn’t. All I get is a blank page.
Whats happening?!
