hi, i created most of my website which is based on css. Reason why it is based on css is so that it can be easier to change around. Layouts and images.

so here is my code at the moment.

(tbh i used a source which helped).

Code: [ Select ]
<?php

if ($submit) {
$fp = fopen("/style/style.css", "w");
fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
fclose($fp);
}

$fp = fopen("/style/style.css", "r");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
}
fclose($fp);

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Edit CSS</title>
</head>

<body>
<form action="<? print $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
<textarea name="newdata" rows="10" cols="40">
<?
print $data;
?>
</textarea>

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

</body>
</html>
  1. <?php
  3. if ($submit) {
  4. $fp = fopen("/style/style.css", "w");
  5. fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
  6. fclose($fp);
  7. }
  9. $fp = fopen("/style/style.css", "r");
  10. while (!feof($fp)) {
  11. $data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
  12. }
  13. fclose($fp);
  15. ?>
  17. <html>
  18. <head>
  19. <title>Edit CSS</title>
  20. </head>
  22. <body>
  23. <form action="<? print $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
  24. <textarea name="newdata" rows="10" cols="40">
  25. <?
  26. print $data;
  27. ?>
  28. </textarea>
  30. <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
  31. </form>
  33. </body>
  34. </html>


there seems to be an error on these 2 code lines

PHP Code: [ Select ]
 
while (!feof($fp)) {
 
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
 
}
  1.  
  2. while (!feof($fp)) {
  3.  
  4. $data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
  5.  
  6. }


These two lines i am not familiar with. Can someone please explain? and if there is a solution?

I change the folder permission settings so it can be uploaded.

What is the error message that you get?

The two lines of code that don't make sense are opening the file and reading the contents into a variable

the error message says there is an error on them 2 lines i mentioned.

it keeps repeating the error and does not stop.

so it says

"lines 10 and 11" or something... then the error...
then carries on adding it without stopping

Code: [ Select ]
Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/css/style.css) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/virtual/site2/fst/:/home/virtual/69kilobytes.co.uk/:/var/www/html/) in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/cp/edit.php on line 9


This is the error message you need to look at. It is telling you that you don't have permission to access the file. So it will fall over everytime it tries to get it

Try this.
PHP Code: [ Select ]
 
$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w");
 
$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
 
 
  1.  
  2. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w");
  3.  
  4. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
  5.  
  6.  


the one with the 'w' option is for the submit and the other is to get the file and read it.

Let me know if it works

so it should read

PHP Code: [ Select ]
 
<?php
 
 
 
if ($submit) {
 
$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w");
 
fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
 
fclose($fp);
 
}  
 
$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
 
while (!feof($fp)) {
 
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
 
}
 
fclose($fp);
 
?>
 
 
  1.  
  2. <?php
  3.  
  4.  
  5.  
  6. if ($submit) {
  7.  
  8. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w");
  9.  
  10. fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
  11.  
  12. fclose($fp);
  13.  
  14. }  
  15.  
  16. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
  17.  
  18. while (!feof($fp)) {
  19.  
  20. $data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
  21.  
  22. }
  23.  
  24. fclose($fp);
  25.  
  26. ?>
  27.  
  28.  


this will open the file and write it to the same file when you submit it

ok, now if you go to the page:

http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/cp/edit.php
you will see the style sheet.... but if you click submit it will say the following errors:

Quote:
Warning: fopen(http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/style/style.css): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/cp/edit.php on line 4

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/cp/edit.php on line 5

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/cp/edit.php on line 6


i take it i need to look at:
Quote:
Warning: fopen(http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/style/style.css): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/cp/edit.php on line 4

now i chmodded the style.css file to 777 as well.

but still the same error shows. What does this mean?

$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w+");
 
fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
 
fclose($fp);
 
}  
 
$fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
 
while (!feof($fp)) {
 
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
 
}
 
fclose($fp);
 
?>

  6. if ($submit) {
  7.  
  8. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "w+");
  9.  
  10. fwrite($fp, stripslashes($newdata));
  11.  
  12. fclose($fp);
  13.  
  14. }  
  15.  
  16. $fp = fopen("style/style.css", "r");
  17.  
  18. while (!feof($fp)) {
  19.  
  20. $data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
  21.  
  22. }
  23.  
  24. fclose($fp);
  25.  
  26. ?>
  27.  
  28.

this is what shows up

if i use the directory:
Quote:
style/style.css
then it says that there is no such directory, which is why i use the full url. When i do, it shows up just fine, but when i submit this is when the error shows up on top of the text area.

what is your directory structure?
is edit.php in the same directory as the stylesheet?

if
http://www.domain.com/
is your root, where would the style sheet be and where would the edit.php file be?

ok basically there is...

http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk

then the following folders

mainwebsite_html
mainwebsite_cgi
mainwebsite_something

the main directory is "mainWebsite_html"

so if "index.php" is in "website_html" then to access it, it would be...

http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/index.php

this means that "mainwebsite_html" is the main directory?

so altogether.

http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/mainwebsit ... /style.css - but this does not work

so

http://www.69kilobytes.co.uk/style/style.css
