I want new text shows @ top of the page.

[Anon]

Hey I have a little. I've made a script. It's my first one. It writes variables that I give in through a form in a .txt file. Then a.php file shows what in the .txt file (with include command). But when I post somthing new it is shows under the previous post. I would like to see it above the previous post.

I think it's gotta be something in here:

$file=fopen("nieuws.txt", "a+");
fwrite($file, "$artikel");
fclose($file);

Plz help me out...

$file=fopen("nieuws.txt", "r+"); #open and place the $file point at the beginning of the file
flock($file, 2); #prevent the file from being messed up.
$old_data = $fread($file, filesize("nieuws.txt")); #read in the old data
fwrite($file, "$artikel" . "$old_data"); #concat the new data then the old data
flock($file,3); #release the lock, fclose can also do this
fclose($file); #close the file

And could somebody give me all rights? (like a,r,w)

Ok I figured this out:

$file = fopen("nieuws.txt", "r");
$old = fread($file, "nieuws.txt");
$file2 = fopen("nieuws.txt", "w");
fwrite($file2, "$artikel" . "$old");
fclose($file2);

What's wrong??? (It isn't r+ or a+)

i didn't have a chance to test the previous code. try this:

<?
$file_name = "nieuws.txt";

$fp=fopen("$file_name", "r+"); #open and place the $fp point at the beginning of the file

flock($fp, 2); #prevent the file from being messed up.

$old_data = fread($fp, filesize($file_name)); #read in the old data

rewind($fp); # reset the file pointer to the start of the file so that the fwrite overwrites the original data

fwrite($fp, "new data" . "$old_data"); #concat the new data then the old data

flock($fp,3); #release the lock, fclose can also do this

fclose($fp); #close the file

?>

look at the fopen manual page for a description of the modes.
