Change text in index.html file using...
I'd like to replace text in an index file with another text. I want to have someone update a YouTube live stream link with a new one.
The form would look like: Load New YouTube live stream link. (new line) Enter old link ____________ (new line) Enter new link.(new line) Replace button
The new link would then replace the old link in the file without the user having to go in and change the index code directly (because they usually screw up the code).
Does anyone know how to do this? (Where would I put the form so the user can click on it to open the form)

Hi larry,
Who will be updating the link? Do you have full control over who does?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

One person would be updating. I have full control
I would make a form and then use some php to only make it available to the user that has the proper link.
Here's a quick example.
No access:
https://ericrohloff.com/coffeecup/ccfor … myform.php
Access:
https://ericrohloff.com/coffeecup/ccfor … Dyww*Klad$

Thanks so much, but can’t open files
Those aren't to open.
Here's the examples simple code.
There are a few ways to make this work depending on the need but I would put this code at the very top of the form page if your building the form within SD.
Then put this code at the very bottom.
Adjust the mydomain to your actual domain name.
Here's the examples simple code.
<?php
if(isset($_GET['link']) && $_GET['link']== 'qtV49Dyww*Klad$'){
echo 'My form here';
}else {
echo 'Try again';}
?>
if(isset($_GET['link']) && $_GET['link']== 'qtV49Dyww*Klad$'){
echo 'My form here';
}else {
echo 'Try again';}
?>

Thanks again. Not very familiar with php. Do I then need to put a replace code in the index file?
No, Just add the php code to the page that the form is on. The form page will need to be a php page.
If somebody lands on the form page without the proper link code they will get bump to your index.html.
You can change that if you want. The link code qtV49Dyww*Klad$ can be customized to what ever you want.
