Hello;
I really am trying to use this as a last resort but sometimes the
solution refuses to present itself just by swearing and
staring and poking around with comments and print statements.
line 197: $rdata = str_replace("// \$routes[] = '';\n",
"\$routes['$usr'] = '../$path/in';\n// \$routes[] = '';\n", $rdata); //
this is not working
line 223: $rrdata = str_replace("// \$routes[] = '';\n",
"\$routes['$user_long'] = '../$r/in';\n// \$routes[] = '';\n",
$rrdata); // this is working
These two lines are in a function I wrote. I add the line numbers to
indicate that they are separated by some
code. But they perform identical tasks on two different files with the
identical names in two separate directories.
As far as I can tell the target strings are identical in both of the
files; initially, one file is a copy of the other, but
change as array items are added. Or are supposed to. The string //
$routes[] = '';\n is used as a template
for adding new array items. (in the str_replace code, the $ is escaped
with \ so it will be interpreted literally)
The problem is the str_replace operation works on the $rrdata variable
and not the $rdata variable.
When testing the $rdata variable with a print statement, there is no
change to the target string; I.E. // \$routes[] = '';\n
is not replaced with \$routes['$usr'] = '../$path/in';\n// \$routes[] =
'';\n.
The file is a php file that i am trying to write to.
There is no read errors on fopen nor fread on the file in the first
line. The file that the first str_replace() is supposed
to modify is in the same directory as the script that has this
function. The function is included in another script
file in the same directory. The second file that str_replace is working
on is from a file opened in another directory.
I have checked read and write permissions on both files and directories
and found nothing i could point at as the
cause of the failure and in fact I would expect the fopen function to
fail if there was a permissions problem.
It is obviously opening and reading the file successfully, as using
print before the str_replace operation
show that the file has been properly read into the $rdata variable. In
case it is not clear, the two marks
after the = sign in each line indicate an empty string surrounded by
single quotes, that makes it appear
to be one double quotation mark when it is not.
Can anyone see what I am not seeing, or tell me something that I should
be aware of that I may not be.
thanks for your time;
JK
