Reset a remote string [+rep, +NP$]

cvxdes · 02-24-2006, 11:44 AM

Im making a SQL-Less CMS in a certant sence, and i need a function to update the password var in another file. Does anyone know a function to do this?

I'll add rep to people who try to help, and donate some NP$

Hmm... Could have it required to enter both the old password and new password, then do something like below:

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/170827-reset-a-remote-string-rep-np.html
 
$file = "data/blah/passwords.txt";

 
$fp = fopen($file, "w");

$data = fread($fp, filesize($file));

$data2 = str_replace($old_pwd, $new_pwd, $data);

fwrite($fp, $data2);

fclose($fp);

 
?>

Not sure on that, but maybe you can get something from it

^Thanks. I got this idea:

PHP Code:

  $pass1 = file("/home2/****/passwords.txt");

$user1 = file("/home2/****/usernames.txt");

$pass = $pass1[count($pass1)-1];

$user = $user1[count($user1)-1];

$info = array(

'pass' => $pass,

'user' => $user,

);

And in the admin file,

PHP Code:

  $filename = "/home2/****/passwords.txt";

  $fp = fopen($filename,'a');

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=170827
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=170827
  fputs($fp,$input['password']);

  fclose($fp);

  ?>

thanks anyways though.

Code:

0|admin|admin|098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6|blah@test.com|blah
1|user|bob|098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6|blah@test.com|blah
2|user|joe|098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6|blah@test.com|blah

Then you could ask for the old password and new password, then do something like

PHP Code:

  <?php

$userid = 1;

$oldpass = "oldpass";

$newpass = "newpass";

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=170827
 
$userdb = file("./users.txt");

$editfile = fopen("./users.txt", "w"); 

foreach ($userdb as $line) {

  $userarray = explode("|",$line);

  if($userarray[0]!=$userid) {

    fwrite($editfile,$line); 

  } else {

    if($userarray[3]==md5($oldpass)){

      echo "Password successfully changed!";

      fwrite($editfile,$userarray[0]."|".$userarray[1]."|".$userarray[2]."|".md5($newpass)."|".$userarray[4]."|".$userarray[5]."\n"); 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=170827
    } else {

      echo "You did not supply the correct password.";

      fwrite($editfile,$line); 

    }

  }

}

?>

Jim is good at flat file stuff >_<

He's made flatFileHost, started flatBB, and I think his tagger is flat.

  }

}

?>

How would i make that multiple users?

like if i wanted to do $userid = $input['id']; how would i?

I don't get what you're asking. :S

Flat file has its pros and cons.

One example for each is below

PRO: Simpler than MySQL or other database types
CON: A limited number of simultaneous connections can be made than a true database.

Another option would be SQLite.
