How do I save text from text box to file

Anon

Please add the cod that will enable me to save the edited text back to the same file.

Thanks,

Gene

<title>Hello Editor</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<?php
if (file_exists ("./hello.txt"))
{
$arr = file("./hello.txt");
$temp;
foreach ($arr as $key => $value)
{
$temp .= $value;
}
}
?>

At the top, you'll probably want to do:

if ($save) {
a) $fp = fopen("./hello.txt", "w");
b) fwrite($fp, $textfield);
c) fclose($fp);
}

This will:

A) Open the file that you initially read, for "w" (write)

😎 fwrite writes to the file pointer ($fp) the text that is in the variable $textfield (you get the name of the variable from the form elements name)

C) finally, close the connection cause your done.

Some help:

http://www.php.net/fwrite
http://www.php.net/fclose

Hope that helps!

Thanks Chris.

Thanks to both of you!!
(I'm a newbie)

One further problem - if I used a ', such as in "we'll", then it adds a back slash, and that shows up on the page the text is displayed on. Any solution to this??

Cheers
