Question

I’ve got some issues with my PHP code. I want to load two .txt to edit with the browser (chrome, ie, any) and saves changes through just one button. Until now, I can do it with multiple buttons, but thats risky cos if you forget to save one change you lose it.

Here is my code:

<?php
$fn = "../txt/example.txt";

if (isset($_POST['agenda1a']))
{
    $content = stripslashes($_POST['agenda1a']);
    $fp = fopen($fn,"w") or die ("Error");
    fputs($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp) or die ("Error");
}
?>
  <div class="editor">
    <div class="editor_titulo">Agenda 1</div>
    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>" method="post">
      <textarea name="agenda1a" cols="55" rows="25" class="editor_texto"><?php readfile($fn); ?>
</textarea>
      <input name="submit" type="submit" class="btn_entrar" id="btn_guardar" value="  Guardar este menú  ">
    </form>
  </div>

  <?php
$fn = "../txt/example2.txt";

if (isset($_POST['agenda1b']))
{
    $content = stripslashes($_POST['agenda1b']);
    $fp = fopen($fn,"w") or die ("Error");
    fputs($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp) or die ("Error");
}
?>
  <div class="editor">
    <div class="editor_titulo">Agenda 2</div>
    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>" method="post">
      <textarea name="agenda1b" cols="55" rows="25" class="editor_texto"><?php readfile($fn); ?>
</textarea>
      <input type="submit" class="btn_entrar" id="btn_guardar" value="  Guardar este menú  ">
    </form>
  </div>

Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

You’ll need to place the <textarea> elements under the same <form>. This can be done with the code you’ve presented, but you’ll likely have to make some styling changes, as one of the .editor elements is removed.

<?php
$fn1 = "../txt/example.txt";

if (isset($_POST['agenda1a']))
{
    $content = stripslashes($_POST['agenda1a']);
    $fp = fopen($fn,"w") or die ("Error");
    fputs($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp) or die ("Error");
}

$fn2 = "../txt/example2.txt";

if (isset($_POST['agenda1b']))
{
    $content = stripslashes($_POST['agenda1b']);
    $fp = fopen($fn,"w") or die ("Error");
    fputs($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp) or die ("Error");
}
?>
  <div class="editor">
    <div class="editor_titulo">Agenda 1</div>
    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>" method="post">
      <textarea name="agenda1a" cols="55" rows="25" class="editor_texto"><?php readfile($fn1); ?>
</textarea>

    <div class="editor_titulo">Agenda 2</div>
      <textarea name="agenda1b" cols="55" rows="25" class="editor_texto"><?php readfile($fn2); ?>
</textarea>
      <input type="submit" class="btn_entrar" id="btn_guardar" value="  Guardar este menú  ">
    </form>
  </div>
