How can i include a php file after form action POST? All of the file must be loaded on the same page.
What i have:
if ($_POST['vaste_kosten'] > 0) echo "<form method='post'action='mail.php'>
I don't like the iframe function in HTML to do this.
How can i include a php file after
form action POST
you can use include_once, include, require , require_once whichever you prefer
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include('file.php');
include('anotherfile.php');
}
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but it certainly answers what you're asking. You should simply use the include function, as follows:
if ($_POST['vaste_kosten'] > 0) {
echo "<form method='post'action='mail.php'>";
include("path_to_file/file.php");
...
}

I just upgraded from cakephp 1.1 to 1.3. I have everything on the site updated and working great, except for creating and downloading zip files.
Here is the code in my accounts_controller.php:
function zip() {
$this->checkSession();
$this->checkUpgradedAccount();
$files = array();
$this->layout="zip";
/*
code where I locate the files to zip, combine them, etc
*/
$tmp_file = "/home/[userdirectory]/tmp/".md5(mktime()).".zip"; //directory name edited
$command = "/usr/bin/zip -j $tmp_file ".implode(" ",$zip_files);
exec($command);
foreach($zip_files as $zf) {
unlink($zf);
}
$file_path = $tmp_file;
$this->set("path",$file_path);
$this->render();
}
When I call this action, however, I get an error:
Error: The requested address '/accounts/zip' was not found on this
server.
It worked just like this in version 1.1. I'm assuming something has changed, but I'm not sure what, and was unable to find anything pertinent in the documentation.
The zip.ctp view file does exists, but it has nothing in it other than: <?php ?>
I suspect something is different with layouts. There is NO "zip.ctp" in the /layouts directory. However, I have changed that line to $this->layout('default'); and it renders a blank page with NO ERROR, but also with no download.
Please direct me on the proper way to download my zip file in cake 1.3. Thanks in advance.
You have two different problems here. That error you're getting is because you don't have a zip layout file. As for your problem with getting the zip file, you should be using the media view class - http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Developing-with-CakePHP/Views.html#media-views
Okay so I'm trying to make a script that can edit an external .txt file. I want to be able to do something like /name John Doe and it saves that name in the file that the command is supposed to edit.
Another example would be I have a file called List.txt associated with the command /todo, whenever I do /todo * it adds whatever came after the command to the List.txt file.
Is there any way I can do this in javascript?
You're in luck, it appears that HTML5 actually supports this. Of course you'll have to run it through a browser, I don't know if you can hack it somehow to work from bash.
Yes, its possible to do this by creating an ajax http request to an server server side script that edits the file based on the http request's content.
Heres an example PHP serverside script the handle the ajax request:
Note: This example has a lot of security issues and is untested
<?php
$command = $_POST['command'];
$argument = $_POST['argument'];
if ($command == "name") {
$file = fopen("names.txt", "a");
fwrite($file, $argument."\n");
fclose($file);
} else if ($command == "todo") {
$file = fopen("todo.txt", "a");
fwrite($file, $argument."\n");
fclose($file);
}
?>
There is also a great tutorial on AJAX requests here
They also have a php tutorial on here
ps. sorry it took so long.
When I am saving a file in a img/upload folder the file is saved with the correct file-extension.
However, when I try to download the file, a .htm file-extension is appended.
How can I avoid this? I've added my code below;
view.ctp
<?php echo $this->Form->label("Resume:");?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input("resume",array("class"=>"input_boxstyle_select","label"=>"","type"=>"file","id"=>"file"));?>
<?php echo $editEmpPros[0]['prospective_employee']['resume']?>
Inside my controller:
public function download_resume($id=null)
{
$LUser = $this->Session->read('username');
$this->disableCache();
if (!$LUser) {
$this->redirect(array("action"=>"../"));
}
$path="../webroot/img/upload/$id";
header('Content-Disposition: attachment'); readfile($path);
//print_r(readfile($path));
exit;
}
Handling file-downloads in CakePHP 2.x
While other solutions may work, CakePHP handles the response via the CakeResponse object. This chapter in the manual describes how to send (download) files; Sending Files
The response will automatically attempt to set the right mime-type, based on the file-extension
To output the file (inside the browser);
$this->response->file(WEBROOT_DIR . '/img/upload/' . $filename);
//Return reponse object to prevent controller from trying to render a view
return $this->response;
To download the file (and, optionally, specify a custom filename)
To force downloading the file and specify a custom filename (if desired), use this code. CakeResponse object will automatically set the right headers, so manually specifying a custom filename should not be necessary
// To force *downloading* the file and specify a custom filename (if desired)
$this->response->file(
WEBROOT_DIR . '/img/upload/' . $filename,
array(
'download' => true,
'name' => 'custom-filename-for-downloading'
)
);
return $this->response;
You can give the filename in the Content-Disposition header too, like this:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="foo.bar"
Depending on the browsers you have to support you could also use the download attribute of HTML5:
my link
you have to set some parameter as here i am giving you one example to download PDF file
<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>
Please make parameter as you need..
let me know if i can help you more.
I'm currently working with cakephp and I am generating a word document. My problem is how can I put the generated document on my web root and not as a download.
I am guessing you are using an action to generate a document, which gets output to the browser.
You should either use output buffering to "catch" the output and then write it to a file, or write the document data to a string, and write that string to a file on the server.
EDIT:
PHPWord has a SAVE method. In your action, you can save the document to a certain location, but output something else, i.e. success notification. This way, your action only generates the file:
public function generateWordDocument(){
//... your word file creation...
$wordDocumentLocation = TMP . 'word_files/';
$objWriter = PHPWord_IOFactory::createWriter($PHPWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save($wordDocumentLocation . 'helloWorld.docx');
$this->Session->setFlash('Document generated!');
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index')); //or wherever you want
}
If you want to protect that file, you could save the file to a "secure" folder (this can either be a folder outside the "app/webroot" folder, or a folder protected with .htaccess deny all instruction) and than use another action, like "getWordDocument":
function getWordDocument($documentName){
$wordDocumentLocation = TMP . 'word_files/';
if (file_exists($wordDocumentLocation . $documentName)) { //this is not really the safest way of doing it
$fp = fopen($wordDocumentLocation . $documentName, 'rb');
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($wordDocumentLocation . $documentName));
fpassthru($fp);
exit();
}
}
Please note, that this code is just for "grasping the concept" and is in no way safe or optimal.
i think you want to add file in webroot but it is not downloadable for public users ,
You have several ways :
- protect folders with .htaccess (Like Js folder)
- create new folder in app folder like webroot and put files in it
- use Dispatcher Filters in cakephp : http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/dispatch-filters.html
and ....
I know that in folder config are file called core.php which I can configure application options as a debug mode, session, cache etc.
But I want do configure file for my application. I want for example configure how many post can be displayed in main page, thubnails size etc.
I think that the best place in config folder but where and when parse thos file in application (bootstrap, AppController another mechanism ?) and what is the best extension .ini or PHP array (for performance reason too). What is the best practice to do this ?
DEFINE OWN CONSTANT FILE
Create a file lets suppose 'site_constants.php' containing some constant variables in app/Config folder. Define the following constants into it:
<?php
define('HTTP_HOST', "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/');
if(HTTP_HOST == 'localhost' || HTTP_HOST == '127.0.0.1')
{
define('SITE_URL', HTTP_HOST.'app_folder_name/');
}
else
{
define('SITE_URL', HTTP_HOST);
}
Include it in app/Config/bootstrap.php
require_once('site_constants.php');
Now you can use it anywhere into your website. And this is also a dynamic.
DEFINE OWN CONFIGURATION FILE
Create a file lets suppose 'my_config.php' containing some constant variables in app/Config folder. Define the constant in the following way:
<?php
$config['PageConfig'] = array('PostPerPage' => 5, 'UserPerPage' => 15);
Then in your app/Controller/AppController.php write the following line in beforeFilter() method:
function beforeFilter()
{
Configure::load('my_config');
}
Now in your controller's method, where you want to access the page number to be listed in your pagination list. You can use it by following code:
$page_config = Configure :: read('PageConfig');
$user_per_page = $page_config['UserPerPage'];
//or
$post_per_page = $page_config['PostPerPage'];
This might looks long process to handle this task, but once done, it will help you in many senses.
Here are the advantages:
you can easily define some more constants (like any file path etc).
you can put all your ajax code into external JS files.
you can directly deploy it onto any server without changing in constants as well as work perfectly onto your localhost.
following standard conventions etc.
CakePHP provides the Configure class for this purpose. See the documentation.
You can use Configure::write($key,$value) in your own config file, and then read the values elsewhere in your application through Configure::read($key). It also allows you to use readers that automate the process and read in external configuration files. CakePHP provides a PHPreader and an INIreader by default and you can create readers to extend it.
Create a new file with configuring variables, like:
Configure::write('Twitter', array(
'consumer_key' => "OTh1sIsY0urC0n5um3rK3Y4T878676",
'consumer_secret' => "OTh1sIsY0ur53cReT76OTIMGjEhiWx94f3LV",
'oauth_access_token' => "12345678-OTh1sIsY0urAcc355K3YT878676Y723n4hqxSyI4",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "OTh1sIsY0urACC355T0KEnsdjh4T878676FPtRRtjDA29ejYSn"
));
save this file in app/Config/twitter.php
Include that file in app/Config/bootsrap.php:
require_once('twitter.php');
In the Controller (this example 'app/Controller/TwitterController.php'), you can use that like:
$settings = Configure :: read('Twitter');
