Is there any special reason why you want to solve this with regular
expressions? As far as I see, there's a couple of problems with your code,
a) $file = dog.txt should be $file = 'dog.txt',
b) $getOldValue has the _array_ resulting of parsing the INI file,
hence you should write $getOldValue, since it's the complete file
(I won't say anything about performance),
c) you're using a regular expresion to increment the value in a
specific key/index, and you don't need regexp for that, and
d) you're not saving the whole file, only the "setting" (entry) for
"today", hence you overwrite the file and leave only "today = n"
What do you think of something like this (a bit changed):
$file = 'dog.txt';
$today = date("Ymd");
// we read the file,
$getOldValue = parse_ini_file($file);
// set or increment the value in "$today" key,
@$getOldValue[$today] ++;
// and write back the whole INI file
// note: what we have is an array, not a string
$str_ini = '';
foreach ( $getOldValue as $date => $value ) {
$str_ini .= "$date = $value\n";
}
file_put_contents($file, $str_ini);

//$date = settype('int');
return $new.($date++);
}
$getOldValue = parse_ini_file($file, 1);
$newValue = $getOldValue[$today] + 1;
$oldDate = $today . " = ". $newValue;
$newDate = preg_replace('/(\d+\s\=\s)(\d+)/ie', 'incDate("$1","$2")',
$oldDate);
file_put_contents($file, $newDate . "\n");
This works with one file but with multi lines I'm having trouble:
if the file has:
20060301 = 34
20060302 = 3
the file after script will be:
20060302 = 4
I want it to preserve the previous lines
so output should be:
20060301 = 34
20060302 = 4
Help would be great, thanks
Ben
