- If the text file exists or has data in there, I use it. Otherwise, the editable paragraph holds a default string.
- I use a form submit to kick off a jQuery event.
- The jQuery function calls a PHP script to write the contents of my editable paragraph to the file.
This way I can keep pressing the submit button as I go, which will just update the text file with the current editable paragraph contents.
Here's the code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Editable jQuery save</title>
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/reset.css" />
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
google.load("jquery", "1");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="content" contenteditable="true">
<?php
$text = file_get_contents('test.txt');
if(!empty($text))
{
echo $text;
}
else
{
echo 'Put some text here.';
}
?>
</p>
<form>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<script>
(function()
{
$('form').submit(function()
{
$.post('set.php',
{
content:$('#content').text()
}, function(data)
{
if(data)
{
console.log(data)
}
});
return false;
});
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
And set.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['content']))
{
file_put_contents('test.txt', $_POST['content']);
}
else
{
echo 'write was not successful';
}
?>
