Hi there,
I'm a cocoa developer and for one of my apps I need to do some server side coding. Problem is, I've no experience with PHP at all.
What I need isn't very complicated (I don't think).
Basically I need to be able to post 2 strings to my website, and then have a page on the site display them.
They need to be saved until 2 other strings are posted to replace them.
For example, if I post "string1" and "string2" to "theFile.php", I would then like a file called "displayTheStrings.html" to just show them in the body of the page. They need to be saved so I can view them when I need to, but then If I post two more strings, the old ones are replaced.
Thanks,
Tom.

Re: Need a very simple PHP script.
Something along these lines?
Code: Select all
<?php
// "theFile.php"
$string1 = $_POST['string1']; // You may wish to carry out some kind
$string2 = $_POST['string2']; // of validation here, depending on what
// you are doing this for
// Place the strings amongst some HTML
$output = <<<HTML
<html>
<head><title> Display the Strings </title></head>
<body> $string1 $string2 </body>
</html>
HTML;
// Spit it out as a static file
file_put_contents('displayTheStrings.html', $output);
?>-
