I'm reading in to a variable $section1 an entire php file that creates a
mysql table. I can output the variable in a new file just fine (figured out
what all had to be escaped in the original file).
My problem is, I want to replace the table name in the original file with a
new table name before I output it to the new file. But the str_replace has
no effect. Neither does an ereg_replace. Is there something in the content
of the file that is foiling the replace?
Here is what I have right now. It produces the same file content as is read
in.
<?php
$search = "item";
$replace = "poem";
mkdir($replace, 0777);
$section1 = file_get_contents("table_create.php");
str_replace($search, $replace, $section1);
chdir($replace);
$table_create = fopen($replace."_table_create.php","w+");
fwrite($table_create,$section1);
?>
The file I'm reading in is as follows:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php $title = "$PHP_SELF"; ?>
<?php include ("../resources/header.php"); ?>
<?php include("../resources/db_connect.php"); ?>
<?
// build the query
$sql = "CREATE TABLE item (
i_item_id int primary key not null default
'0' auto_increment,
i_client varchar(30),
i_project varchar(30),
i_category varchar(30),
i_phase varchar(30),
i_type varchar(30),
i_priority decimal(8,2),
i_author varchar(30),
i_created date,
i_owner varchar(30),
i_due date,
i_status varchar(30),
i_title varchar(50),
i_file varchar(50),
i_url varchar(100),
i_detail mediumtext,
FULLTEXT (i_title,i_url,i_file,i_detail)
)";
// execute the query
$result = mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die(mysql_error());
if ($result)
{
$msg = "<p>The table has been created.</p>";
}
else
{
$msg = "<p>echo mysql_error()</p>";
}
// reveal what happened
echo "$msg"; ?>
<?php include("../resources/footer.php"); ?>
