Here is something I've been working on today..
I been trying to determine how to build a website, that has a form, and that form allows a user to make a simple URL to give out. In the future it will also create a website, or possible websites (based off of varying templates that I have built for it).
I just started trying to understand this today, so bear with me...
So far, as far as I am aware, all of the code works and accomplishes the following:
- Allows a user to input a Website name.. I keep both a version with spaces, and a version without spaces.
- It creates a directory for that name with no spaces, and it creates a index.php in that directory.
- It then displays the link to said directory(will not work on this code because I use a generic primary domain name).
Example Test Domain:
www.PrimaryDomain.com/Test/
Example User Input:
$_POST['Dir'] = 'Test User Domain';
<?php
//Make sure server is in post mode
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST')
{
//display form
echo'<form name="" action="" method="post" class="wpcf7-form" >';
echo'<input name="Dir" type="text" placeholder="Username" required autofocus>';
echo'<input type="submit" value="Start" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit">';
echo'</form>';
}
else
{
//Specify the URL
$Name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Dir']); //form data
$CurrentDir = getcwd(); //current directory
$URL = ''.$CurrentDir.'/'.$Name.'/'; //New url to create
//Speciy the file to create
$Index_file = ''.$URL.'index.php'; //location of new index.php file
//Remove the spaces, and make each it's own variable
$Index_file = str_replace(' ', '', $Index_file); //the location of index.php
$Dir_No_Space = str_replace(' ', '', $URL); //the main directory
$Name_No_Space = str_replace(' ', '', $Name); //the form data the user entered
mkdir('/'.$Dir_No_Space.'', 0777, true); //make the directory
$handle = fopen($Index_file, 'w') or die('Cannot open file: '.$Index_file); //Create the index.php File
//Source code of the File: index.php
$index_data = '
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an example</p>
</body>
</html>
';
fwrite($handle, $index_data); //write the source code to the index.php file
//Check the Document Creation
if(!fwrite)//if error
{
echo'Error <br>';
echo mysql_error(); //debugging
}
else//if not error
{
//tell the user how to access the new page
echo'<p>This is a test in progress for '.$Name.' View @ <a href="http://www.PrimaryDomain.com/Test/'.$Name_No_Space.'/">www.PrimaryDomain.com/Test/'.$Name_No_Space.'/</a>.';
}
}
?>
What do you guys/gals think? Is there a better method for this?
