Hey all. I'm definately new to programing PHP. I can't write it but I have avague understanding of the commands or whatever. So anyway, I have a homepage that I am trying to configure to me much more easily updatable. I have set a bunch of scripts for this purpose and now I want to do this one more. I want to set up a nice Anministrative/Control Panel where there would be different forms to edit the different information on each page. Up until now I've just changed the info in the HTML and then uploaded it but now I'd like to have some other people help in adding content on my pages. Well anyway, up until now I've worked with public scripts. So to set up this form I've decided to edit the script for a Text-based Guestbook. See, I would use the form to edit the information in the Text file and then submit that. Then include the text-file into the information page, thus updating the page. Well I was proud of myself for coming up with this Idea anD I thought I was doing Great until right at then end I realized that this script would only add things to the text file, not edit it. Everything else I have done perfectly the way I want it except the Information I submit only get added to it. My question is...is there anyway to manipulate this script even further so that it'll edit whats in the text file or even clear it then submit the new information (I set it up so what is currently in the text file appears in the <textarea> on the edit form so clearing the file would really work perfectly)? As I said I am a complete newbie (and pretty long-winded one loking back at my post) to this so it may not even be possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I appriciate it.
