I am developing a web page using HTML, PHP and Javascript. I am using aWAMP server to develop on my local machine. It has one PHP function:
<?php
$file = fopen("Records.txt","r");
$line = fgets($file);
fclose($file);
?>
It has one line of code within the Javascript portion to retrieve $line:
let fullstring = <?php echo json_encode($line); ?>;
It works fine using WAMP. If I view the source I see that the above line is:
let fullstring = "Record1,Record2,Record3,Record4,Record5,Record6";
I then uploaded the file to GoDaddy and it fails. I see this instead:
let fullstring = false;
Anyone know why? Is there a different way to retrieve a PHP variable via Javascript? Eventually I need to change this because the variable $line value should not be exposed to the user.

I'm trying to pass a variable ( n ) from a JS script to PHP thru the URL and get it to write said variable to a file. Unfortunately I can see the PHP script being called over the network, with the appropriate URL and with 200 status, but it doesn't seem to be executing. The file it should be writing to never changes. The disk is not full, the file is not in use by another process and the file it is writing to has completely open permissions as a testing measure. Hopefully this is a simple fix, thanks in advance.
<?php
$my_file='count.txt';
$count= $_GET['n'];
$handle = fopen($my_file, 'w');
fwrite($handle, $count);
fclose($handle);
?>
Examples of requests being sent
Your code is working fine and its writing whatever value for n is passed. however it keeps on overwriting previous value for every new request.
$handle = fopen($my_file, 'w');
In 'w' mode it create new file for read and write while placing pointer at the beginning.
Use 'w+' mode this places the pointer at the end of file.
$handle = fopen($my_file, 'w+');
For more details on files you can check below url for different modes and other functions

Information
For testing purposes I am building a system where a javascript file contains an array called "contains".
The javascript will then make the browser redirect to another page where the php-code is located, and that code should add the keyword as a new array-element
And before anyone of you try to say how simple this is, let me reiterate that I am injecting the JS code on another page using Tampermonkey, and I have no chance to modify their code
The code should then be converted to JS again and be written to a file which is called "copyright.js"
Code
At the moment the "copyright.js" file looks like this
var contains = ["original"]
The following code returns a positive result
$str = 'var contains = ["original"]';
$str = str_replace("var ", '$', $str);
eval($str.";");
But when I try to fetch the variable from the file i get an error
$file = fopen('copyright.js', 'r') or die('Unable to open File');
$str = fread($file, filesize('copyright.js'));
fclose($file);
$str = str_replace("var ", '$', $str);
eval($str.";");
If there is a better solution to this, please don't hesitate to tell me :)
Tried all solutions.. none of them seem to work for me.
Basically, I have this website UPLOADED on the server that has a button which when clicked does a simple task of loading a file from the server, displaying it and adding +1 to it and then saving it back.
The main question now arises, I tried all the ways which I could find on the net to save the file back but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any specific advice on how can I fix this issue using JS?
UPDATE - One way I am using is - (Doesn't work tho)
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = fso.CreateTextFile("TOTAL.TXT", true);
var text = test1;
s.WriteLine(text);
s.Close();
Where test1 is the name of the variable which i am trying to write.
assuming that you have php on server try this js
var data = new FormData();
data.append("data" , 1);
var xhr = (window.XMLHttpRequest) ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new activeXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xhr.open( 'post', '/path/to/php', true );
xhr.send(data);
php script
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['data'])){
$data = $_POST['data'];
$fname = "filname.txt"
$file = fopen("upload_or_whatever_path/" .$fname, 'w') or die("Unable to open file!");// open file
fwrite($file, $data);
fclose($file);
}
?>
The code you've shared belongs to the Windows Scripting Host platform. That's an automation solution for Microsoft Windows that's by no means intended for public web sites.
File upload implementation requires a proper server-side programming language (PHP, JSP, Node...). Client side code can be as simple as a static HTML form.
I'm making a PHP script for a JavaScipt site I've made.
The goal is to save the contents of a string as an HTML file when I click a button.
I'm using jQuery to make a Post request.
I'm using an Ubuntu OS with an Apache 2 server. The folder I'm writing to has permissions 777 (for testing only, will repeal this).
A requirement is the PHP must live in another file.
The issue is whenever I make the request, the file saves blank.
A requirement is each filename must be a timestamp. The file has the correct file name, but not contents.
So far, here is my code:
<?php
$fileName = $_GET['fileNameData'];
$htmlImport = $_GET['htmlToSaveData'];
$htmlToSave = (string)$htmlImport;
$myFile = fopen($fileName, "w") or die('You do not have write permissions');
//fwrite($myFile, $htmlToSave);
file_put_contents($myFile, $htmlToSave);
fclose($myFile);
?>
I've tried the frwite function that I've commented out, same effect.
I have tested this in terminal by passing in arguments ($argv[1] and $argv[2]). That works fine.
The JS I've made to run my site looks like:
var newURL = 'saveHTML.php/?fileNameData=' + fileName + '&htmlToSaveData=' + htmlToSave
$.post(newURL)
.done(function(){
alert('Your file saved as ...' + htmlToSave)
})
I've also tried this code, with the same result:
$.post('saveHTML.php/', {
fileNameData : fileName,
htmlToSaveData : htmlToSave
})
Both the fileName and htmlToSave are strings, although htmlToSave is rather long and is actually html text that I've converted to a string.
Does anyone have ideas about what's going on here? I'm not a PHP developer at all.
I'm using a callback so I can be sure I've collected all my html before I pass the string to PHP.
I've read and tested the recommendations on this question here and this has been fruitless.
EDIT Don't be alarmed about the code, I realise it's a security issue but this is a learning project and this will not be in production.
I can see right off the bat that you have
$myFile = fopen($fileName, "w") or die('You do not have write permissions');
//fwrite($myFile, $htmlToSave);
file_put_contents($myFile, $htmlToSave);
fclose($myFile);
file_put_contents takes a file name, not a handle. So you would only need
file_put_contents($fileName, $htmlToSave);
Edit: I also feel like I should point out that you should not allow your users to name your files. They could potentially do some nasty stuff to your machine.
I have a page that has a JavaScript function that uses Post to send a variable to a php file. The problem is, that I am using "header" to download the file and my JS does not open the PHP script in a new page.
When I open the php file in a new page, it does not receive the needed variable from the JS.
I know it sounds confusing, but I hope my code can shed some light on my problem.
The short version is, I am trying to download a file that is selected by a radiobutton. I use JS to check which radiobutton is checked and then send that to my php file. Which then needs to download the file.
Thank you all in advance.
PHP:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['routenumber'])) {
if(!isset($_SESSION)){session_start();}
$routenumber = (isset($_POST['routenumber']) ? $_POST['routenumber'] : null);
$directory = ("Users/".$_SESSION['id']."/SavedRoutes/");
$routes = scandir($directory);
sort($routes);
$route = $routes[$routenumber];
$file =("Users/".$_SESSION['id']."/SavedRoutes/".$route);
header("Content-type: application/gpx+xml");
// header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=".json_encode($route).".gpx");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=route.gpx");
readfile($file);
}
?>
JS:
function fuAccountDownloadRoute(){
var i=2;
var SelectedRadio
while (i < routecounter){
var str1='radio';
var str2=JSON.stringify(i);
var result = str1.concat(str2);
if (document.getElementById(result).checked){
SelectedRadio = result.slice(5);
}
i=i+1;
}
$.post('accountPage.php',{routenumber:SelectedRadio});
}
When you open the url: http://localhost/accountPage.php in your browser it makes a GET request. You should change all the $_POST to $_GET in your code if you want to make it possible, and then you can open it like this: http://localhost/accountPage.php?routenumber=3, though it's probably not what you really want.
