Deleting from a file

[DeadlySin3]

Hello.

I'm working on a tagboard script - and everything on it works beautifully. What I want to do is re-write the script.

And in doing that, I would like to write to a .txt file - which is no problem.

But I would also like to allow editing of the text that was written to the file by the administration.

From what i've read, I would have to format the message written something like this :

$message = $name&$tagdate&$url&$comment

Given that the above example is correct, how do i take $name, $tagdate, $url and $comment, get rid of the "&" and put it all into a textarea - edit the message and then re-write the info back to the .txt file overwriting their old post?

This is how I did it:

to write:
$stringtowrite=$name."|".$email;
fwrite($fp, $stringtowrite);
fclose($fp);
?>

to read:
$array = file("test.txt");
foreach($array as $row) {
$line = explode($row, "|");
print "Name: $line[0], Email: $line[1]<br>";
}
