Section 10 - Working With Files In PHP July 24, 2013 07:30PM |
Completed and understood!
It's a lot of fun to play with files and also very useful!!
Just a note of caution:
If you are using the "move on to next part" links at the bottom of the tutorial pages (on the CD), the link underneath page 2 and 3 takes you to section 13 (databases)!
Use the main contents page to go to the correct next section!

The PHP.ini was for to enabling the magic quotes.
I cannot connect to the database. I get this when I run my code "Database NOT Found"
$user_name = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "addressbook";
$server = "127.0.0.1";
$db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);
if ($db_found) {
$SQL = "INSERT INTO tb_address_book (First_Name, Surname, Address) VALUES ('bill', 'gates', 'Microsoft'
";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
mysql_close($db_handle);
print "Records added to the database";
}
else {
print "Database NOT Found ";
mysql_close($db_handle);
}

@Brad
You are right, it is the character count. The reason for this is that readfile() actually prints out the content AND returns the length.
So as I understand this, in the following code :
the "readfile()" is actually printing out the content of the document,
while "print" is actually printing the content length of the file (that was returned by "readfile()"
If you just use
you'll see that the contents of the document is still printed!
I hope this makes sense!!!!

Completed this section, but had the same issue as Tessa with some of the next page options jumping to Section 13. So completed some of those too I'm glad I thought to look back at the php.html file again to check why I was getting so confused.

Completed section. Found it pretty straight forward.
Also experienced the incorrect page links, for a second there I was so worried! Could not understand how the tutorial can claim we have done steps 1 and 2 and then I can't recall any of it!! Anyway, luckily realised the mistake quickly so did not get too confused.
Thank you Warren for the summary on w3schools. Found it helpful and will probably refer back to that if I ever need a reminder.
