help with some basic php!

[MeinHerzBrennt]

Ok, im trying to make a mod for a forum called wBB(Woltlab Burning Board) 1.2. I have a form text box, i need this textbox to have the contents of a banned.php, and when some one edits it, i need it to save it over the old banned.php

im basically a newbie with php, i dont know anything, so some detailed info would be awesome!

in between textarea's <textarea></textarea>

have include("banned.php");

But i dont get what your doing.. SO this may be of no help

[MeinHerzBrennt]

assuming that works..... how would i set it up to save it to banned.php

[MeinHerzBrennt]

putting the include between <textarea></textarea> just shows the inlcude statement in the text area

[MeinHerzBrennt]

<textarea rows="20" cols="55" wrap="virtual" class="input"

name="css">include("banned.php")</textarea>

Well, you'd have to use FTP functions to do it. If no one else helps by tomorrow I'll see if I can type the code up.

Why wouldn't this be in a database anyway?

[EDIT]

You want it to look like this...

<textarea>
<?php include 'banned.php'; ?>
</textarea>

or

echo ('<textarea>');
include 'banned.php';
echo ('</textarea>');
