Newbie question regarding writing to a file

[stoebakk]

I have a little question...

When adding text from a form to a file, the new text is added at the end of the file. Is there a way the text can be added at the top of the file, not replacing the old text?

I'm not into databases yet, so I was hoping this could be used for making a simple new bulletin or guestbook page...

I know I'm stupid, but it would be very nice if someone could help me out on this one! 🙂

$open = fopen ("yourtextfile.txt", "r");
$contents = fread ($open, filesize ("yourtextfile.txt"));
fclose ($open);

$yourcontents = $newstufftoadd . $contents;

$open = fopen ("yourtextfile.txt", "w+");
fwrite ($open, $yourcontents);
fclose ($open);

Open the file, read all the old in, prepend the new stuff, write the file back out.
