Create a web page that manages a .ini file

+1	I need to create a simple Web page that prints a .ini file. I also need to modify the .ini file in the Web page using a save button.

  Based on discussion, you are likely looking for a forms manager to deal with putting values from an ini in fields and retrieving the user input, rather than a .ini file manager.

  Is that correct?

  yes I need this: put the vaulues of a .ini files into a table in a webpage and then I need to modify the values in the webpage and save the values with a save button (in the webpage) into the .ini file. But I don't understand how to create an interface that works with the php code (for example the raccomanded package!).

  Any advice? I need something as soon as possible!

  Thanks a lot for the support! You are all very kind!!! ;)

  Why not simply use "parse_ini_file" from PHP itsel ?

  and of course, I forgot to mention it "write_ini_file" to save back.

  Can you put a raccomandation?

  This should go into the php page that do the work. Now it is difficult to tell you how, as everything is not clear. Can you send the whole thing so we could have a look, or send an url where we could better try to understand your problem ?

Ask clarification

Simple Files: Read, add, modify and delete lines from text files

  thanks I'll try, but now I'm thinking anathor way... create a db with a management page with a button that give this function...

  mysql> SELECT * FROM print_tbl

  -> INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/print.ini';
  

  do you think it is a good idea?

  thank a lot for the support!

  How do you plan to get the .ini file back into the db table?

  any advice? :)

  If you have a DB table, you don't need an ini file. Just maintain the DB table.

  If you DO want the ini file, don't use a DB table. That makes it unnecessarily complex.
