I have a working encryption method but I cant use my temp ini file in the program!

[computergroove]

When I run this script I can open barcode.ini and see the contents and it comes out right. However when I try to call barcodes.ini later in the script I keep getting the "The code you entered "&$user_input&" was not found in the database" error meaning that the barcode.ini file that is being created before the switch function. I flagged the section giving me the error. What am I doing wrong here?

You can't do this directly :

FileWrite("barcode.ini", $Decrypted_Data); writes the data to barcode.ini

without opening the file first in write mode.

Replace it with:

$barcode_ini = FileOpen("barcode.ini", 2) ;opens the file in write mode (it will create the file if it doesn't exist)
FileWrite($barcode_ini, $Decrypted_Data); writes the data to barcode.ini
FileClose($barcode_ini) ;closes the file

I tried this but I am getting the same error.

$file = FileRead("temp.txt"); reads temp.txt and assigns the data to $file

    FileOpen("barcode.ini", 2);opens the file in write mode (it will create the file if it doesn't exist)
    $Decrypted_Data = _StringEncrypt (0 , $file, "1234"); decrypts the string "$file" - Tested
    FileWrite("barcode.ini", $Decrypted_Data); writes the data to barcode.ini
    FileClose("barcode.ini");closes the file

I also tried it without the FileClose("barcode.ini") section with the same results.

If someone needs to try this in their machine then I have attached the file temp.txt here -> temp.txt

Your barcode.ini files looks like:

[AviCodes]
12345;avi1.avi

while it should look like

[AviCodes]
12345=avi1.avi

"=" instead of ";"

I guess you haven't properly built your ini file or you have encrypted the wrong one - have a look at my previous posts and notice how the ini file structure is.

Because ";" replacing the "=" you get errors ...

Oops. Your right. Thanks
