I have recently put all my sites on symlinks and currently they all share the same template which means they all have the same content,title and descriptions. I am trying to make it so I can edit each sites info via a text files.

What I have so far is this

On the top of my index page I have this

PHP Code:

<?php $titles = @file("titles.txt");  

$count_titles=count($titles);  

$domain_name = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; 
if (strpos($domain_name, "www.") === 0) 
    $domain_name = substr($domain_name, 4); 

$domain_title=""; $domain_description=""; $domain_content=""; 

for ($i=0;$i<$count_titles;$i++){ 
    if (strpos($titles[$i],"$domain_name"."_title=") === 0){ 
        $domain_title_parse=explode("=",$titles[$i], 2); 
        $domain_title=trim($domain_title_parse[1]);         
    } 

    if (strpos($titles[$i],"$domain_name"."_description=") === 0){ 
        $domain_description_parse=explode("=",$titles[$i], 2); 
        $domain_description=trim($domain_description_parse[1]);         
    }     
    if (strpos($titles[$i],"$domain_name"."_content=") === 0){ 
        $domain_content_parse=explode("=",$titles[$i], 2); 
        $domain_content=trim($domain_content_parse[1]);         
    } 
} 

?>

Where is want the content I have this

PHP Code:

<?php echo $domain_content; ?> 
<?php echo $domain_title; ?> 
<?php echo $domain_description; ?>

In the titles.txt I have this

PHP Code:

sample.com_title=       Test Title 
sample.com_description=     Test Description 
sample.com_content=     Test Content 


I am not getting any errors but its not displaying anything either so I am lost as to what is wrong.

PHP Code:

<?php $titles = @file("titles.txt");

The @ symbol will suppress any warnings generated by the file function. Other than that you can try outputing someone of your variables at different stages of your code. Print out the entire titles array, count_titles, and anything else that is relivant.

Well it works for me provided you change it to $domain_name=sample.com.

Clearly $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; has to match with the domain in the text file

Could you explain how you wrote it in the text file as I am not getting output also the text file is like this its not just one domain its several

PHP Code:


sample.com_title=       Test Title 
sample.com_description=     Test Description 
sample.com_content=     Test Content

------------------------------------------------------

sample1.com_title=       Test Title 
sample1.com_description=     Test Description 
sample1.com_content=     Test Content

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

sample2.com_title=       Test Title 
sample2.com_description=     Test Description 
sample2.com_content=     Test Content

dyna.pumppumedia.com_title=       Test Title

sample1.com_description=     Test Description
sample1.com_content=     Test Content

sample2.com_description=     Test Description
sample2.com_content=     Test Content 


You'd need to change sample.com,sample1.com or sample2.com to match your.domain.name to see the title assigned to it,...
you're assigning $domain_name to $_HTTP['server_host']; which you're referring to in the code... so the above modified content worked for my test platform without modifying one line in your code, just the first batch in the txt file. So if you'd want the text associated to sample1.com sample2.com etc, you'd need to have access to them, and upload the code TO sample1.com, sample2.com and so on, OR they need to point to the same place...

hope this wasn't too complicated of an answer, but cheers, just change the domain to match your's and you'll see content :>

OK thanks I feel real dumb now I was putting the text file in the common folder instead of the domain root. Since there is no symlink to the text file it wasnt reading it in the common I dropped in the root to test and works fine. Will make symlinks for it also so its all in one folder.


Thank you everyone


Actually I got away with adding the actual file path in the header "/home/common/titles.txt" and it works so saved me some work
