It is 'w'.

What is the value of $contents? because you are using '.=' ?

This line:
$contents .= . stripslashes(trim($_POST['newline'])) . ;

Should perhaps be changed to:

$contents = stripslashes(trim($_POST['newline']));

hth.

<?php
$path = 'xfire.txt';
$contents = file_get_contents($path);

if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['newline'])
{
    $handle=fopen($path,"w");
    $contents .=  stripslashes(trim($_POST['newline']));
    fwrite($handle, $contents) or exit('error writing to file');
    fclose($handle);

So if you want to overwrite what's in $path, there's not much point reading it all in so that you end up writing it all out again:

$contents = file_get_contents($path);
