<?php

//Don't edit this--end

//add or modify the variables to change using similar format here
$title = $_POST['title'];
$subtext = $_POST['subtext'];

//view this format and modify to suit more or less variables - this stage cleans the user input
$cleantitle = str_replace($bad, $good, $title);
$cleansubtext = str_replace($bad, $good, $subtext);

//heres the new file contents, again look at the format and simply copy & paste to suite more or less variables
$content_to_write = 
'<?php

$subtext = "' . $cleansubtext . ' ";

//filename of the file to hold variables
$filename = '../inc/variables.php';

// Main PHP
if (is_writable($filename)) {

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

   if (fwrite($handle, $content_to_write) === FALSE) {
       echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
       exit;
   }
  
   // echo "Success, variables changed!";
  
   fclose($handle);

   echo "The file $filename is not writable";

//Heres the form HTML that you need to add / modify to change the variables edited, note that $_POST['key'] matches up to name='key'

?>

So I have $title = $_POST['title']; and I only want title to be posted/changed when the form button is clicked. Whenever I refresh this page, it $_POST's title.

I have the variable set, and when I open the PHP page the variable posts nothing right away. After I post using the button the variable will show in the box... until the page gets refreshed again.

Anyone?

Move the form processing portion of the script to the top of the page. The html for the page should come last. The problem is that the page is getting rendered before the variables are updated.

N.B. If the rewrite is successful, refreshing the page with the code as is will show the changes.

Hi - I tried, it did not work Any other suggestions?
