adding text into a file

Anon

How can I add text into a file without overwriting data ?

I don't manage to insert text into a file and to keep the previous and the following data.

Thanks.

I think it's:

$fileName = "whatever";
$theFile = fopen ($fileName, "a+")
or die("Unable to open file($fileName)");
fwrite($theFile, "Your data here \n");
fclose($theFile);

NB the a+ opens the file for reading and writing, placing the pointer at the end of the file, so any dtaa written to it will be appended at the end.
