Write to top of text file

harlow

Ok, I can write to a text file no problem

Here is the code I'm using: minus < >

?php
// Designate the text file
$filename ="output.txt";

// Open the text file
$handle= fopen($filename,'a');

// Write the message to the text file
fputs($handle, "$date : $title ");
fputs($handle, "$content ");

// Close text file
fclose($handle);
?

My question is, how do I write to the top of the text file each time, so that the latest news is displayed first when read from the text file?

this works in theory, but i never tested it, so it might error or whatnot- but you get the point 🙂

$file="filename.ext";
// store old junk in an array
$arr=file($file);
$handler=@fopen($file,"w");
// new junk at beginning
fputs($handler, "<b>$date : <font color='Maroon'>$title</b></font><br>"); 
fputs($handler, "$content <br><br>"); 
// rewrite old junk to end
for($i=0;$i<count($arr);$i++){
 fputs($handler,$arr[$i]);}
// close
fclose($handler);

if that doesnt work, try to write it backwards through append, and just file($it) it and reverse the array 🙂 something like that
