Copy and Paste PLEASE

[Anon]

Noone's ever clear on these message boards, can someone help me out please, clearly so I(a simpleton) can understand.
I want to make a new text file, insert a comment, then open up an old text file (messages.txt), copy all of whats inside it and paste it all into the new text file I made, then save the new text file as messages.txt to overwrite the old version.
The whole idea is to put all new comments at the top of messages.txt instead of at the end. PLEASE HELP, IM NEW AT PHP, THANKS!!

try this:

---stuff 'new' content into arrayA
---stuff 'old' content (messages.txt) into arrayB
---append 'old' content to arrayA
---write arrayA to messages.txt (when updating messages.txt use proper parameters to overwrite the file, so that you are not appending anything or adding anything to beginning of messages.txt)

this is as simple a method that i know of. you know? i have never even tried doing it this way, but i bet it would work. the key is 'trying'.

good luck.

this is an old script that i have:

$filename = "/blah/blah/message.txt";

$newMsg = "place new message here";

$fileOpen = fopen($filename, "r");
$oldMsg = fread($fileOpen, filesize($filename));
fclose($fileOpen);

$newConent = "$newMsg \n $oldMsg";

$fileOpen = fopen($filename, "w");
fputs($fileOpen, $newContent);
fclose($fileOpen);
