help for a script im makin...

ravenance

Alright so I am making a script for my site to easily update.

I need to know if there is a way to make it when you add a line in a file it doesn't delete the line that is under it IE:

$pdata5 = "<a href=\"$pgname\">$poettitle</a> -- $poetauthor<br><br>";
$op = fopen('header2.txt', "r+a");
fputs($op, $pdata5);
fclose($op);

and header2.txt contains like 5 lines in it
1: BLah blah
2: blah blah
3: blah blah
4: blah blah
5: blah blah

How would I make it to where it would do this

1: new content
2: BLah blah
3: blah blah
4: blah blah
5: blah blah
6: blah blah

and i have tried changing this code to ever way i post.

$pdata5 = "<a href=\"$pgname\">$poettitle</a> -- $poetauthor<br><br>";
$pdata5 = "\n<a href=\"$pgname\">$poettitle</a> -- $poetauthor<br><br>\n";
$pdata5 = "<a href=\"$pgname\">$poettitle</a> -- $poetauthor<br><br>\n";
$pdata5 = "\n<a href=\"$pgname\">$poettitle</a> -- $poetauthor<br><br>";";

and It still does the same thing except it also will delete the line under it. Any help would be appreciated Thank you.

this should do it... im a little bit rusty i moved on to databases so
correct any things that are wrong 😃

$i = 0;

$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "r+a");
while(!feof($myfile))
{
$i = $i + 1;
$line[$i] = fgets($myfile); 
}
fclose($myfile);

$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "w");

fputs($newdata, $myfile);

fclose($myfile);
$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "r+a");


for($i = 0; $i < count($line); $i ++)
{
fputs($line[$i], $myfile);
}

while(!feof($myfile))
{
	$line[$i] = fgets($myfile, 255);
	$i = $i + 1;
}

fclose($myfile);
$myfile = fopen("data.txt", "w");

// New Data that goes in at top is right here
	fputs($myfile, "newline\n");

fclose($myfile);
$myfile = fopen("data.txt", "a");

for($e = 0; $e < count($line); $e ++)

look at the code i just did it will do that... it will take all the data in the file put it in an array then put the newline in then ADD this on bottom

ravenance

alright so I modified the script with comment tags so other beginners like myself can understand it =)

if there is anything wrong with the commentary please tell me =)

 //open the file
    $myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "r");
    // create an array $line
    $line = array();
    //make i = 0
    $i = 0;
    //while it is not the end of the file
    while(!feof($myfile))
    {
        // get info of file put in array $line and put it at array #0
        $line[$i] = fgets($myfile, 255);
        // make line 0 empty and put the file in array #1
        $i = $i + 1;
    }
    //close the file
    fclose($myfile);

//open the file for writing and truncate all it contained

$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "w");

// write to the file and put in the data from $pdata5
fwrite($myfile, $pdata5);

//close the file
fclose($myfile);

//open the file again
$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "a");

// if if e is zero and e is lessthan the count of $line ad 1

for($e = 0; $e < count($line); $e ++)
{
    // than put $e of array line in $myfile
    fwrite($myfile, $line[$e]);
}
    //close the file
fclose($myfile);

this would be more accurate lol.. urs works fine though


//open the file
    $myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "r");
    // create an array $line
    $line = array();
    //make i = 0
    $i = 0;
    //while it is not the end of the file
    while(!feof($myfile))
    {
// grabs the info from the current line and adds it into an array
        $line[$i] = fgets($myfile, 255)
// adds one to $i so that when the it goes to the next line in the file the array gets added with it            

         $i = $i + 1;
    }
    //close the file
    fclose($myfile);

//open the file for writing and truncate all it contained

$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "w");

// write to the file and put in the data from $pdata5
fwrite($myfile, $pdata5);

//close the file
fclose($myfile);

//open the file again
$myfile = fopen("header2.txt", "a");

// e = 0; while e is less the the number of entrys in the $line variable then run the stuff in the brackets and make e = e + 1

for($e = 0; $e < count($line); $e ++)
{
    // put the $Line array into the file at the place in the array that e eqauls
    fwrite($myfile, $line[$e]);
}
    //close the file
fclose($myfile);
