Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Passing information to a file on webpage Post 302861591 by Scott on Wednesday 9th of October 2013 07:50:31 AM

The idea was that you add the file updatefile.php somewhere in your Webserver's document structure and call it using wget or curl.

For example:
Code:
$ curl http://webserver/updatefile.php
$ curl http://webserver/file
Success:193434
$ curl http://webserver/updatefile.php
$ curl http://webserver/file
Success:193434
Success:193434

You can modify the PHP to take parameters and update the file with those if you wished (so it doesn't have to be static updates).

i.e.
Code:
$ cat updatefile.php 
<?php
  $file = fopen( "file", "a" );
  fwrite( $file, $_GET['p1'] . " - " . $_GET['p2'] . "\n" );
  fclose( $file );
?>

Code:
$ curl http://webserver/updatefile.php"?p1=Hello&p2=World"
$ curl http://webserver/file                              
Success:193434
Success:193434
Hello - World
