[RESOLVED] Need help to add data to a file

[semla882]

Hi!
I´m totally new to php so plz bear with me here. 🙂

This is probably very easy but... :o

My problem is this:
I have a .swf file. This .swf is a scoretable where ppl are supposed to be able to add their scores thru a simple form. I have a .txt file that the .swf file loads to display the scores.
My problem begins at writing to the .txt file. I guess I use fwrite but dont that just add the info at the end of the file?
I want the script to add a score, for example: I submit a win and the script replace 2 wins with 3.

Anyone got any ideas about how i do this?

Many thx in advance!

edit: btw, feel free to direct me to other threads or tutorials that may solve my problem 😃 :edit

If the file simply contains a number, use [man]file_get_contents/man to read in the file data (along with [man]trim/man in case there's any whitespace) into a variable.

Increment the variable by one ($var++; for example).

Write the new data to the file using [man]fwrite/man. Since you want to replace the contents of the file, you'll use [man]fopen/man with the 'w' mode.
