Overriding an arquive

amrigo

I would like to override the content of an open arquive and i know that using
"a" will append at the end of the arquive, using "w" will place4 the pointer
at the beggining and truncate the length to zero, what that mean?

I have a file that i want to allow to be edited for me this mean erase the
entire previous content and write the entire new content !

Using "w" will achieve this goal?

Thank´s in advance

Yes. When it truncates the length to zero, it erases the contents of the file.

Yes it works

I have another question :

My code generates a xml in this format:
<?xml version=1.0?>
<text>
<title></title>
<body></body>
<text>

i need to evolve to generate this format:

<?xml version=1.0?>
<text>
<titulo></titulo>
<body>
<paragraph></paragraph>
<paragraph></paragraph>
... (n paragraphs...)
</body>
<text>

Inside the variable: $txt_body
there is the tags:<p></p>

Wich is the best way to find then and generate the second format of xml above?

The part of the code is:

//array with data to xml
//inside $txt_body there are the <p></p> tags i need to find
$shows = array(array('title' => '.$txt_title.',
		     'body' => '.$txt_body.'),);
//start to write xml
$somecontent = "<?xml version=1.0?>\n";
foreach ($shows as $show) {
	$somecontent .= " <text>\n";
	//writes <title> and <body>
	//need create inside <body></body> the tags : 
	//<paragraph></paragraph> how??
	foreach($show as $tag => $data) {
		$somecontent .= " \t<$tag>" . htmlspecialchars($data) . "</$tag>\n";
	}
	//$somecontent .=" </show>\n";
}
$somecontent .=" </text>\n";

Thank´s in advance and best regards!
