[Resolved] fopen, fwrite, fclose help

[gunhoe86]

i'd like users to be able to logon and add text to this file, then view its contents. when i run the script, i dont get any die errors, but it doesn't echo the contents and the file does not get changed. any ideas?

fopen(test.txt,"a")
or die("fopen Error");

fwrite(test.txt,add this text)
or die("fwrite error");

fclose(test.txt)
or die("fclose error");

$open = file_get_contents(test.txt)
or die("get contents error");

echo($open);

thanks ~JOSH

<?php

$handle = fopen("test.txt", "a") or
die ("fopen Error");
fwrite($handle, "add this text") or
die ("fwrite Error");
fclose($handle);

$open = file_get_contents(test.txt) 
or die("get contents error"); 
echo($open);

?> 

for this code you must be running PHP 4 >= 4.3.0!

alright, thanks alot. all that works like a charm, except for when it is echoed, it shows up in one long line like so:

add this text add this text add this text add this text add this text add this text

is there anyway to echo the text as it is in the .txt file?
