save output to a file (newbie alert)

After two dayes serching this forum and google i really need some help.

I am a complete newbie, and probably want to do something advanced... stupid eh ?

Here we go.
I have the FCKeditor php sample1 up and running.
It works, i can write and post with it.

Now i need to save the output to a file.

I also got the file writable, and can write in it with a code i found on this forum.

What i dont seem do figure out, is to combine these two things. The Form witch sends the data, and the code bit that write it to a file.

Here is what i got:
The fck editor, working nice

<form action="../../../default.php" method="post" name="test" target="_blank" id="test">

<?php
// Automatically calculates the editor base path based on the _samples directory.
// This is usefull only for these samples. A real application should use something like this:
// $oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/FCKeditor/' ;    // '/FCKeditor/' is the default value.
$sBasePath = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ;
$sBasePath = substr( $sBasePath, 0, strpos( $sBasePath, "_samples" ) ) ;

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath    = $sBasePath ;
$oFCKeditor->Value    = 'testing' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>

And the code for writing the file:
Also working nice, but only with inserted text in fwrite. Cant figure out to put in a variable from the form.

<? 
$filename = "../../../test.txt"; //or a variable 
$fp = fopen($filename, "w"); 
fwrite($fp, ????);// Close the file 
fclose($fp); 
?>             <br>

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

Thanks, any help is appriciated.
And sorry my English.

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

You can get the whole html as a POST variable with name you gave for editor in html page

so
fwrite($fp, $_REQUEST['FCKeditor1']);

will write the outout to file

see http://wiki.fckeditor.net/ for more details

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

Thank you bobzee for your quick reply.

I used your
fwrite($fp, $_REQUEST['FCKeditor1']);
in the code for writing to file, but with no luck.

Unfortunately im not very bright

I have the two above scripts in the same file. Is that the correct way ? I will post the complete script in the bottom of this message.

Alså, you say i can find this info in the wiki for fckeditor... i thought i have read it over and over, but without any luck on this subject. But as i said, im not very bright, and my techinical english could be a lot better, so i might have missed it.

here is the whole file. It writes to the default.php , but is not saving anything in the test.txt file.

include("../../fckeditor.php") ;
?>

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath    = $sBasePath ;
$oFCKeditor->Value        = 'Indhold kommer snart' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
<? 
$filename = "../../../test.txt"; //or a variable 
$fp = fopen($filename, "w"); 
fwrite($fp, $_REQUEST['FCKeditor1']);   
fclose($fp); 
?>             <br>
            <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    </body>

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

Hi!

If you just write out the content of the post, what do you get?
As you say it doesnt write anything to the file, I think this is the problem.
BTW: Is the file created?

Im using ASP, and there I create the form element with
oFCKeditor.Create "content"
and access it through
request.form("content")

Are you sure that 'FCKeditor1' is the name you should use?

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

Thanks Johnny for trying to help.

To make things easy, here is the file i use :
http://www.anjaro.dk/kenneth/sample01.rar

And here you can see the above script in use:
http://www.anjaro.dk/kenneth/FCKeditor/ ... mple01.php

As you can see, the script writes out the variable on the destination page default.php , no problem.

But it does not write to the test.txt
test.txt is chmod 777 and it works fine if i just use fwrite($fp, HELLO WORLD);

I really appriciate your help on this. Please dont give up on me

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

Hi!

I assume that you get "HELLO WORLD" in the textfile?
Then its a php-problem, and thats not my cup of tea.

Why don't skip the textfile and save it in a db, or you're testing/cant use a db?

RE: save output to a file (newbie alert)

Yes i get HELLO WORLD, so that part works.

Just cant figure out hot to replace HELLO WORLD, with the output from FCK.

I assume that the problem would be the same with or without a db. Writing to db or a file is the same story, no ?

Well i decided not to use a db, because it a small page for my son, and extra db cost me money. I figured a db was overkill.

Well thanks for your try anyway Johnny. Mutch appriciated.
