Hi - I'm a major newbie.
- I have a file that pulls an include into a <textarea> for a user to edit
- before pulling the include, I'd like to open it and check it's value
- if the include's value is exactly equal to the string:
<div style='color: #eee; font: bold 80px Georgia, serif'>Hello World</div>
then I want to overwrite that string with nothing; close the include; and
then load it (now null) into the textarea
- else, if the include's value is not equal to the above string, just load
it into the <textarea>
However embarrassing, I'll give what I have which hasn't been working
$noting = "";
$checkval = "<div style='color: #F00; font: bold 80px Georgia, serif'>Hello
World</div>";
$filename = "thefile.inc";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "w");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
if ($contents == fread ($checkval)) {
fwrite ($filename, $nothing);
fclose ($fd);
include($filename);
} else {
fclose ($fd);
include($filename);
}
clearstatcache(); //for the next time around?
Also - does thefile.inc have to be CHMOD 666?
BTW - the server is running PHP4/Apache.
