Variables in variables?

Posted by Marquez Design on 10/08/24 11:32

This is a little more specific:

I have a template in the database which looks something like this:

<html>
<title>$page_title</title>

<body>

Image: $image <p />
<img src = \"$image\">

Main Text: $mtext <br />
Text2: $text2 <br />
Text3: $text3 <br />

</body>
<html>

The variable name is $somecontent

When I call $somecontent in the PHP file, it displays exactly like it is
above. It does not replace the variables.

Is there a reason for this?

Here is my PHP file:



<?php

include "cnx.php";
include "includes/header.php";

//Include the content
$select_data = "SELECT * FROM template WHERE tmpl_name = \"my_template\";";
$response = mysql_query( $select_data, $cnx );

//now print it out for the user.
if ( $one_line_of_data = mysql_fetch_array( $response ) ) {
extract ( $one_line_of_data );
}

$file = $_POST['file'];
$page_title = $_POST['page_title'];
$image = $_POST['image'];
$mtext = $_POST['mtext'];
$text2 = $_POST['text2'];
$text3 = $_POST['text3'];

if (file_exists($dir . $file)) {
echo "<center><p /><p class=\"NormalBold\">Success!<p /><p />";
} else {
echo "The file $file does not exist";
}

$filename = "$file";

//Update the table in MySQL
$update_data = "UPDATE cms_pages SET page_title = '$page_title', image =
'$image', mtext = '$mtext', text2 = '$text2', text3 = '$text2' WHERE
filename = '$file'";
$response = mysql_query( $update_data, $cnx );
if(mysql_error()) die ('database error<br>'. mysql_error());

//Begining of Template Construction

$mtext = nl2br($mtext);
$text2 = nl2br($text2);
$text3 = nl2br($text3);

//include "content.php"; This works with an external page included, but I
would like it to be in the database for easy changes.

// Is the file writable?
if (is_writable($dir. $filename)) {


if (!$handle = fopen($dir . $filename, 'w')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}

// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}

echo "<center><p /><p class=\"NormalText\">$filename has been
updated.</p><p /></center>";

fclose($handle);

} else {
echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

include "includes/footer.php";

?>
</html>
