More PHP help needed!

Alright! I've practiced a ton of php and am learning more and more. Now, I've figured out how to make an admin area (secure login/logout) with a page creator, page editor, and IP logger. The page editor is actually what I need help with as of right now.

I'm using a rather strange method to edit things. Really what I want is to edit the raw data. As of right now, I'm editing the data output. I've yet to figure out how to edit any other way. So, please take a look and tell me a better way with this.

index.php

Code:

<?php 



// Page asks for user cookie of proof of signed in.  If not, then use is given the login page.



if ($_GET['function']=="newpage" && isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        include('inc/main.php');

        }

elseif ($_GET['function']=="editpage" && isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        include('inc/editpage.php');

        }

elseif ($_GET['function']=="editpage" && $_GET['data']=="process" && isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        include('inc/editpage.php');

        }

elseif ($_GET['function']=="logged" && isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        include('inc/logging.php');

        }

elseif (isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        include('inc/main2.php');

        }

else {

        include('login.php');

        }

?>

index.php?function=editpage

Code:

                  <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="index.php?function=editpage&data=process">

            <label>File Name (e.g. file.php - Look below for folder contents)<br />

            <input name="pageopen" type="text" value="" />                   

            <br /></label>

                        <label>[To edit pages from the admin folder type "./" without the quotes.]<br />Folder Location (e.g. ../ or /site/)<br />

                        <input name="pageloc" type="text" value="" />

            </label>

            <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />

                  </form>

          <br />

        <form action="fedit.php" method="post">

        <label>Edit File (Once File is Opened)<br />

        <textarea name="edit" cols="60" rows="25">

<?php 

if (isset($_REQUEST['pageopen']) && isset($_POST['pageloc'])) {

$thepage = $_POST['pageopen'];

$thedir = $_POST['pageloc'];

chdir("$thedir");

include("$thepage");

}

else {

echo "";

}

?>

</textarea>

        </label>

        <input name="pagename" type="text" value="<?php 

                if (isset($_POST['pageloc'])) {

                        $thepage = $_POST['pageopen'];

                        echo "$thepage";

                        }

                else

                        echo "";

                ?>" />

        <input name="pagedir" type="text" value="<?php 

                if (isset($_POST['pageloc'])) {

                        $thedir = $_POST['pageloc'];

                        echo "$thedir";

                        }

                else

                        echo "";

                ?>" />

        <input name="submitter" type="submit" value="Save" />

        </form>

fedit.php

Code:

<?php 

if (isset($_COOKIE['HIDDEN'])) {

        header("Location: index.php?function=editpage");

        $thepage = stripslashes($_POST['pagename']);

        $thedir = $_POST['pagedir'];

        $edit = stripslashes($_POST['edit']);

        chdir("$thedir");

        unlink("$thepage");

        $fp = fopen("$thepage", "a");

        fwrite($fp, "$edit");

        fclose($fp);

        exit;

        }

else {

        header("Location: index.php?function=editpage");

        } 

?>

So, I don't believe there are any more pages that need to be defined to understand this.

I have no idea what you're showing me.

If you make the pages you will see and understand what I did.

This is a page editor. I am using the second code that I made to call other pages via include within the text box.

I am using the 3rd code to delete then make the pages ("update").

I need to know how I would pull raw data into the box instead of pulling output data.

htmlspecialchars?
I don't see why you would want to do what you're doing, though.

I'm creating a website for my neighbors company. Basically he needs me to create a insite page creator and editor. The page creator wasn't an issue, but the page editor was another story. I had to think outside the box when creating it. But I can't pull raw data from the server, only output data.

It is important that I finish it by next week Friday. $50 for me!

file_get_contents

Still sounds like a bad idea.

Thank you WW. I had to look up the function since I'd not not heard of it. I figured out that I had to use echo file_get_contents($file);

I know it sounds like a bad idea but I am serving the customer. I have to do what the customer wants. That's just the way things work, for now anyways.

Don't forget to htmlspecialchars. Otherwise, you won't be able to have a textarea in the file being edited.

I sent you an example of a better way to run a site on ICQ.
