Hey i know how to overwrite a file on a server and delete a file but how do i change this code so that the string overwritten onto the file changes according the string which is already in the file
For example -
If there is a file named Hello.txt in the server and in side hello.txt the numerical 1 is present
So when i click the "change value" button i want my code to check the numerical which is allready there in hello.txt and change according to that.
So if 1 is already present in hello.txt when i click the "change value" button i want the numerical value in hello.txt to change to 2
And keep changing by +1 there after until it reaches 10 and then if hello.txt numerical value is 10 i want a specific file on my server deleted

$myFile = "hello.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "1";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

Thats to overwrite a file

#example "/files/example.exe" 
$DelFilePath = $setup["serverWebrootPath"] . $fileName;
# delete file if exists
if (file_exists($DelFilePath)) { unlink ($DelFilePath); }

Thats to delete a file if it exists

That means first you have to read the file, get the value present, and use if condition. If the value is less than 10, increment it and overwrite the file with the new value, else delete it.

Firstly, thanks smohd for clarifying his question

Secondly, I think this is what you need:

<?php
function readNumber($myFile){
	$fh = fopen($myFile, "r") or die("can't open file");
	$counter = fread($fh, filesize($myFile)); // read value
	fclose($fh);
    return (int)$counter; // convert to int & return value
}

function writeNumber($myFile, $val){
	$fh = fopen($myFile, "w") or die("can't open file");
	fwrite($fh, $val);
	fclose($fh);
}

$file = "hello.txt"; // your file should exist and have an initial value = 0
$file_to_be_deleted = "test.txt";

$c = readNumber($file); // get numerical value
if($c == 10){ 
	if(file_exists($file_to_be_deleted)) unlink($file_to_be_deleted); // delete file
	writeNumber($file, 1); // reset file value to 1
}else writeNumber($file, $c+1); // update file value
?>

Hope it helps

StefanOnRails we dont write code for people here. Let them try things for themselves so they can understand concepts and get to know the staffs.
