write a line on top of text file

golden_water

Following code is intend to write the new line from a form to the first line of a text file and put the old recore back

$newline=$name."__".$email."__".$URL;
if($submit){   

$file = file($record);
$fh = fopen( $record, "w" );
		fputs($fp, $newline.'\n' );
		fputs($fp, implode(" ",$file));
		fclose( $fh );}

However, the code just erase all record in the file and not write anything in....

So any help would be appreciate....thanks

Use this fopen( $record, "r+" );
If you read the manual it says w truncates the file to zero.

Yes, it surely truncate all the things..But I put it back on a later part

fputs($fp, $newline.'\n' );
 fputs($fp, implode(" ",$file));

Am I wrong???

<?
$newline=$name."__".$email."__".$URL;
if($submit) {   

        $file = file($record);
        $fp = fopen( $record, "w" );
        fputs($fp, $newline.'\n' . implode("\n",$file) );
        fclose( $fp );
} ?>

Your code was terribly confusing, overly [unnecessarily] complex, and you had juxposed two file pointer variables. Also, you were imploding on the wrong seperator. =)
