Skipping a line

[LuckyBoy]

I am using the below to write details to notes.txt and I would like to now is there a way of placing the update to notes.txt between the first line of the file and the last line of the file.
Notes.txt has a title and an end line I want to keep the same no matter how many updates my user makes.

$outputstring = "\n". $date."\n"."\n".$Details."\n &";

// open file for appending
@ $fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/notes.txt", "a");

flock($fp, 2);

Thanks

Hi,
you can try with file() function. This function reads the full file content in an array.
Now you can save the last line, add your new lines then add the last line you save. At the end just rewrite all to file.

Something like this:

 
$fcontents = file ($nameoffile);
$last=$fcontents[count($fcontents)-1];
$fcontents[count($fcontents)-1]=$outputstring;
$fcontents[]=$last;

$fp=fopen($nameoffile,"wb");
fwrite($fp,$fcontents);
fclose($fp);

I hope this helps...

Another way would be to hard-code the beginning and end of the file into the code and completely overwrite the file everytime.

Also, you could keep the beginning and end in two different master files. Open these and overwrite your file everytime.
