Update text file

[Anon]

Using PHP, is there a way to have a user/customer update txt file on my server through their browser? I'm thinking like maybe a textarea box can read in from a txt file and can update what's currently within that file without having to upload. Just when they hit the submit button, it updates the text withing my txt file. Any ideas?

You can do it in two ways. Direct write to a txt file on the web tree or store the text on a blob / long text field of a database.

Personally, I preferr the database route. To me, it is much easier to store the info / data in a data base then text files. With a database, you can manipulate the data much easier as well.

Database does sound like a good way to go. However, just in case, what is a web tree and how do i write to it?

Thanks,
