Editing Text files VIA a form.

[PHPJosh]

<?

		}else{

if(isset($comment))
{
$comment=stripslashes(strip_tags($comment));

$gbfile="$comment".$gbfile;
fclose($txt);
$txt=fopen("file.gb","r+w");
fwrite($txt,$gbfile);

}
echo "<font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' size='2'>Thanks for editing this page! Click [<A href="/panel.php'>here</a>] to return to the administrative panel.</a>";
fclose($txt);
}
?>

Something in that is cause the information that I submit using my form to just be added to the text file as opposed to replacing it totally, which is what I want it to do. How is it that I use that to empty the text file and replace it with what I submit with the for? I know it must be possible.

Try using:
$txt = fopen("file.gb","w");

That will open the file to write at the beginning and should truncate the file to 0, erasing what was in the file then putting in your new text. Also to let you know the "r+w" that you have in your code overlap each other in function, since "r+" opens a file for reading and writing putting the pointer at the beginning of the file and "w" does what I said above.

I am not sure, if I got what you want, but it your scripts works that new comment is added at the begining of the file.

If you would like to have only new comment in the file (all old comments deleted ) you have to comment or delete the line

$gbfile="$comment".$gbfile;

It means that new content of $gbfile is new comment plus original value of the file.
