I want to place a text-file on the server so that it can be edited and updated. The contents of this text file need to be scrolled within a box on a web page. Is there anyway possible so that I can write the .txt document in html format, so that headings can be in bold or someother formatting I can apply. The code I have used is as follows.
$file = fopen("welcome.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
echo '<center>';
echo '<table bgcolor="#efefef" width="500"><tr><td>';
echo '<textarea name="stuff" cols="60" rows="10">';
while(!feof($file))
{
echo fgets($file);
}
fclose($file);
echo '</textarea><br>';
echo '</td></tr></table>';
The problem is if I write html code it will come as html. For example if I write <a href="">Check[/url] it will appear in the textarea as <a href="">Check[/url] and not as a link.
Any help, please...
But of course you are not able to modify the text this way. What you are looking for is a WYSIWYG-Editor. Those are available as Java Applets for example.
Hi
what I am trying to do can be explained as follows.
I have a .txt file. I update it by editing in a textarea.(can u suggest a WYSIWG editor, I can use instead of this textarea)
In the code I mentioned I am trying to display the contents of .txt file.
The contents are coming. But all the html formatting I put through textarea is ignored...
