Create Dynamic Html/php Pages Using Simple Vb.net Code Taking your application data, and creating a webpage for others to vie

iXeta · September 1, 2008

This example will show you how use a string in VB to create PHP code.

In order to do this, you need a string to store your PHP page and

a function that I will list at the bottom of the page for you to put in

a module. This code is written in VB.NET

Public Sub CreatePage(ByVal HTMLTitle As String, ByVal HTMLText As String, ByVal HTMLFileName As String)

Dim strFile As String

' ----------------------

' -- Prepare String --

' ----------------------

strFile = ""

' --------------------

' -- Write Starter --

' --------------------

strFile = "<html>" & vbNewLine

strFile = strFile & "<head>" & vbNewLine

strFile = strFile & "<title>" & HTMLTitle & "</title>" & vbNewLine

strFile = strFile & "</head><body>" & vbNewLine

strFile = strFile & HTMLText & vbNewLine

strFile = strFile & "</body></html>"

SaveTextToFile(strFile, "C:\" & HTMLFileName & ".html")

End Sub

'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

'// Call this sub using: Call CreatePage("Welcome", "Hello world! This is a dynamic page.", "index")

'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay! Now we're done with the sub for creating the page, this is the

only other snippet of code you will need, this needs to go into a

module of your program.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Function SaveTextToFile(ByVal strData As String, _

ByVal FullPath As String, _

Optional ByVal ErrInfo As String = "") As Boolean

Dim Contents As String

Dim Saved As Boolean = False

Dim objReader As IO.StreamWriter

Try

objReader = New IO.StreamWriter(FullPath)

objReader.Write(strData)

objReader.Close()

Saved = True

Catch Ex As Exception

ErrInfo = Ex.Message

End Try

Return Saved

End Function

---------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the code has a wide range of uses,

such as taking old INI databases from your applications

and being able to turn them into a useable webpage.

Just take the strFile and add onto it with any HTML code

or even PHP, all you'd have to do is change the ending

on the save function inside the CreatePage sub.

Right now I'm working on a program that takes a simple

INI database, a couple arrays, and I'm able to make

a program that updates an online roster with the click

of a button. So instead of copying and pasting 800 times

I'm going back to gaming for an hour.
