arrays...

[Anon]

I'm working on a newsposting system, and I have everything working, that it sends the desired message on "message.txt" and then the main pages reads message.txt and puts it in the area I want, however, the posts are going one after another rather than the newest post first. so what I have decided to do is use an array, to pull out the most recent one, and the next and so on. however I have 2 problems,
1/ I dont know how to make the message I want on seperate lines on the message.txt, is there such thing as "skip" or "put skip" or something? cause \n just acts as a <br> but leaves it all on the same line

2/ I dont know how to make this simple array, and I'm not sure where to look to find a tutorial.

thanks for any suggestions

For what you are doing, a database may be the better way to go.

As far as a simple array, you should be able to just do

$variable == array();
$variable[0] == "Foo";
$variable[1] == "Bar";

make sense? there are other ways as well, see the array section at php.net
