Here is my code:
$file = '/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf';
// Laravel Projects
$newDirectory = "<Directory $path/public>
Allow Override all
Require all granted
</Directory>";
$virtualHost = file_put_contents($file,str_replace("</VirtualHost>","$newDirectory
</VirtualHost>",file_get_contents($file)));
It works as well. As you can see, it opens 000-default.conf
file (in linux) and appends a new directory at the end of <VirtualHost>
block.
My problem is, sometimes the rest of the code throws an error and when I run the whole script again, code above will append that directory twice.
How can I add a condition on the way of file_put_contents
to check first if if the same directory isn't exist, then append it, otherwise don't do anything?
You need to do it like below:-
<?php
$file = '/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf';
// Laravel Projects
$newDirectory = "<Directory $path/public>
Allow Override all
Require all granted
</Directory>";
$virtualHostContent = file_get_contents($file);
if( strpos($virtualHostContent,"<Directory $path/public>") === false) {
$virtualHost = file_put_contents($file,str_replace("</VirtualHost>","$newDirectory
</VirtualHost>",$virtualHostContent));
}
?>
This is what try catch blocks are Made for. I am on mobile so I can't provide you the code but here is a little idea for you:
Save the original file content and wrap your code in a try catch block. If an error occurs then reset your file to the original content in the catch block.
How can I add a condition on the way of file_put_contents to check first if if the same directory isn't exist,
Provided the file isnt huge, you can just read it into a string and check with strpos:
if(strpos(file_get_contents($file), "<Directory $path/public>") === false){
$virtualHost = file_put_contents(...);
}
