you want to create a script that will allow people to edit PHP files in their browser window?

there's 2 parts to it...

1. create a script that will load the php file and allow user to edit it.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$file = "/home/dir/file.php";

$fs = fopen( $file, "a+" ) or die("error when opening the file");



while (!feof($fs)) {

   $contents .= fgets($fs, 1024);

}



fclose($fs);

?>



<html>

<form action="save.php" method="post">

<input type=hidden name="file" value="<?php echo $file; ?>">

<textarea name="contents"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($contents); ?></textarea>

</form>

</html>

2. create a script that will save the file once user done editing it.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$fs = fopen( $_POST["file"], "a+" ) or die("error when opening the file");

fwrite($fs, $_POST["contents"]);

fclose();

?>

this code might have bugs... it's very basic too.
