creating and modyfiing a php file

[crawfd]

I'm trying to edit a php file and use fwrite to add a line to the top of the page. But in my attemps it's been adding it to the bottem.

Trying to add 'new stuff' to the top of the page of theshow.txt

Thanks

<?
$myFile = "theshow.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "New Stuff 1\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "New Stuff 2\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
?>

in the fopen function....

'a'
Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

What you'd need to do is read your text file into an array, add the new value into the array, reverse sort the array and fwrite it back out (using the 'w' option).

Another alternative:

$myFile = "theshow.txt";
$original = file_get_contents($myFile)
if($original === FALSE)
{
   die("Could not read file.");
}
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("Could not open file for writing.");
$output = "New Stuff 1\n";
$output .= "New Stuff 2\n";
$output .= "original";
fwrite($fh, $original);
fclose($fh);
