[RESOLVED] append record to text files but on the first line

[superkingkong]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to store some strings to a text file.
instead of opening a file and store the string to the last line of the txt file, how can i make the script to store the string from the first line? ... so that records will be in decending order.

appreciate your help, thanks 🙂

Use [man]fopen/man with the 'r+' mode, or do something like:

file_put_contents($filename, 'string here' . file_get_contents($filename));

Hi,

Apparently, i have problem with my new web hosting company, so i have to move back to my previous web hosting company, which is using php4

now, i'm having problem using file_put_contents.

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

well there is no file_put_contents on php4 so you have to write your own

stolen from the user notes in the manual:

 function file_put_contents($filename, $data) {
        $f = @fopen($filename, 'w');
        if (!$f) {
            return false;
        } else {
            $bytes = fwrite($f, $data);
            fclose($f);
            return $bytes;
        }
    }
