inserting text content infront of the file

[osusano]

how do u insert a content from your file?

i am currently using

$ftarget = fopen('$filename', 'w+');
fputs($ftaget,'test');
fclose($ftarget);

but this always overight the whole content and just leave the test value inside.

what do u think should be the problem here?

here the screen layout:

file.txt

hfsdh fdlskhfk sdlhfdjklsh fdkl shfkldjsh dfk
hkfdhl fksdhfsdkfh dlskhdfsjkl
jhfkldhfdklshfksdjhlsdfkhl

output should be like this

test
hfsdh fdlskhfk sdlhfdjklsh fdkl shfkldjsh dfk
hkfdhl fksdhfsdkfh dlskhdfsjkl
jhfkldhfdklshfksdjhlsdfkhl

osusano, you can create a buffer string containing the "prepended" string and then append the contents of the file to that string. afterwards you can write out to the file that buffer string you created.

IE.

$ftarget = fopen('$filename', 'w+');

$string = "the string to prepend";
$bufferstring = $string . (the string of the filecontents);

fputs($ftaget, $bufferstring);
fclose($ftarget);

kinda see how that work?

read the whole file. then fwrite the string then fseek to end of the string u fwrite into the file and fwrite the rest of the file back after. i just finished doing this
