Reading, wrinting to a txt file ++

[griffith]

If I have a txt file with some info, and I want to "load" this info into a textarea box, and then I want to have the ability to change the text, and then insert it back to the txt file.. but I want to clear all the old text in the txt file, and insert onlye the new text... how would you done that..?

Start by reading the manual:

<?php

// -- File Replace --
if($form_submit == 1) {

$fp = fopen("your_file.txt","w+");

$fput = fputs($fp,$new_string);

if($fput) {
print "File updated";
} else {
print "File not updated, try again";
}

fclose($fp);
}

// -- Open and read file --

$fp = fopen("your_file","r");

$read = file("your_file.txt");
$string = $read[0];

?>

<!-- HTML CODE -->

<form>
<textarea name="new_string"><?php print $string; ?></textarea>
</form>

<!-- CODE END -->

Replace this:

// -- Open and read file --
$fp = fopen("your_file","r");
$read = file("your_file.txt");
$string = $read[0];

with this:

// -- Open and read file --
$fp = fopen("your_file","r");
$read = file("your_file.txt");
$string = $read[0];
fclose($fp);

my bad... :-)
