I still having problems with myt script. Can sombody help me?

Naits · Oct 25, 2001

This is a script for my webpage to add new cheats to my cheats section.

The problem is that when the php script writes to the html file the cheats that the user wants to is beeing on one line in the html file, but it is multiline when opens it. Also it is another problem when the php script writes to the html file it's cutting it off so its just about max350 - 400 characters long. It has an confirm screen and there it shows all cheats.
What have i done wrong??
Cold some body help me with making my script work??

Here is the hole script(if you want to try it you must make some folder namde:abc,def...):

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css">
<style>

</style>
<?

if (!isset($game_name) || !isset($cheat)) submit_cheat();
elseif ($confirm == "yes&quot

write_html($game_name,$nick,$email,$cheat);
else confirm($game_name,$nick,$email,$cheat);

function submit_cheat() {
?>
<form action="<? PHP_SELF ?>" method="POST">

}

function confirm($game_name,$nick,$email,$cheat) {
$cheat = ereg_replace("\n", "<br>\n", $cheat);
if (empty($nick)) $nick = "Anonymous";
if (empty($email)) $email = "Anonymous";

Some things to try:

1. Try

Code:

str_replace

in place of

Code:

ereg_replace

, and escape your backslashes like this:

Code:

$cheat = str_replace(&quot;\\n&quot;, &quot;<br>\\n&quot;, $cheat);

2. You'll need to

Code:

stripslashes()

the fields POSTed to your script, since POSTed variables are automatically escaped. I'd also recommend

Code:

strip_tags

for security reasons.

3. Here's a function to simplify your folder name list:

Code:

function folder($name) {
	if ($handle = opendir(&quot;E:\\Path\\To\\Your\\Folders&quot;)) {
		while ($file = readdir($handle)) if (eregi($name{0},$file)) break;
		closedir($handle);
	}
	return $file;
}

Use it like

Code:

$folder = folder($name);

Hope this helps
