writing to a file

[hiflyerx]

I am able to read a nice CSV file, but now I wish to write a value to it as well - the

$data[3]=time();

How do I write this to the file?

Much Thanks!

$handle = fopen("cities.csv", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 836, ",")) !== FALSE) {

//find the match strtoloswer the CITY CODE ALWAYS as AB-52 != ab-52
if (strtolower($data[1])==$cityEC) {
	$cityWN=$data[2];
	$city=$data[0];
	$data[3]=time();

--- write the time to the CSV as data[3]


}

}

fwrite, file_put_contents

but to have it append the 3rd element to that same line?

do I have to write the whole file again, or how do I just insert that 3rd element where it needs to be?

Thanks!

read whole file, edit, write whole file

hello,
you've better done this using a database.

Then you didn't need to read the whole file, and the search would be easier.

thx, I'll stick with my simple csv file for now!

(it's a simple site anyways)

Thanks for your responses!
