enclosing double quotes in array
- by Jared
Hi all
I might be looking at this the wrong way, but I have a form that does its thing (sends emails etc etc) but I also put in some code to make a simple flatfile csv log with some of the user entered details.
If a user accidentally puts in for instance 'himynameis","bob' this would either break the csv row (because the quotes weren't encapsulated) or if I use htmlspecialchars() and stripslashes() on the data, I end up with a ugly data value of 'himynameis","bob'.
My question is, how can I handle the incoming data to cater for '"' being put in the form without breaking my csv file?
this is my code for creating the csv log file.
@$name = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['name']));
@$emailCheck = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['email']));
@$title = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['title']));
@$phone = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['phone']));
function logFile($logText)
{
$path = 'D:\logs';
$filename = '\Log-' . date('Ym', time()) . '.csv';
$file = $path . $filename;
if(!file_exists($file))
{
$logHeader = array('Date', 'IP_Address', 'Title', 'Name', 'Customer_Email', 'Customer_Phone', 'file');
$fp = fopen($file, 'a');
fputcsv($fp, $line);
}
$fp = fopen($file, 'a');
foreach ($logText as $record) {
fputcsv($fp, $record);
}
}
//Log submission to file
$date = date("Y/m/d H:i:s");
$clientIp = getIpAddress(); //get clients IP address
$nameLog = stripslashes($name);
$titleLog = stripslashes($title);
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['error'] == 4) $filename = "No file attached."; //check if file uploaded and return
$logText = array(array("$date", "$clientIp", "$titleLog", "$nameLog", "$emailCheck", "$phone", "$filename"));
logFile($logText); //write form details to log
Here is a sample of the incoming array data:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2010/05/17 10:22:27
[1] => xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[2] => title
[3] => """"himynameis","bob"
[4] => [email protected]
[5] => 346346
[6] => No file attached.
)
)
TIA
Jared
