And so I tried tweaking the mail code.
And found that 80% of the script wasn't needed.
So I was like, "Dude, this code is from 2002, we can do better, we can do PHP."
And thus I wrote the following code. And it works. However, being as this is the first time I've made a purposeful PHP script/code/page I was hoping someone would look at it and help me avoid a catastropic mistake. You know, I kinda like the job and everything. Like say, "You fool! As soon as two people use your form at the same time you will corrupt the file and loose alll data!" (Although I think that by setting fopen() to a+ I should be okay with that one).
Please to be reviewing:
Code: Select all
<?php
$myFile;
$stringData;
$formName;
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
if($key=="formName"){
$formName = $value;
}elseif($key!="submit"){
$stringData = $stringData."<".$key.">\n\t\t".$value."</".$key.">\n";
}
}
$myFile = "../data/$formName"."File.xml";
$stringData= "<$formName>".$stringData."</$formName>\n</$formName"."Register>";
$fh = fopen($myFile, "a+") or die("can't open file");
$chop= filesize($myFile);
$chop= $chop-(strlen($formName)+11);
ftruncate($fh, $chop);
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
?>Open the .xml file already on the server, named "$formnameFile.xml". Then get rid of the closing tag for the root element of the file. Then write all of the values from "_POST", wrapped in xml opening and closing tags to $formnameFile.xml. Close the file.
Thanks for your help![/i]
