Appending to the top of a file

WARNING: DO NOT REPLY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE AWNSER THX

What i've been trying to do is get the new infomation to be written to the top, this is what i have so far.

$datafile = "view.php";
$fp = fopen ($datafile, "r");
$new = fread ($fp, filesize ($datafile));
fclose ($fp);

$fp = fopen( $datafile, "w" );
fwrite( $fp, $message
fwrite( $fp, $new);
fclose( $fp );

Don't message back if you have not experimented on a solution for the problem.

Thanks,
MrDanny

But what I want to know is what the penalty is for not answering the question!

brandonschnell

lol. he didn't say the poster had to answer the question, just that "DO NOT REPLY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE AWNSER". since i know the answer, but choose not say, then i can in all rights post a reply! =)

(laughs)

i knew people would rag on him for saying that.

anyways, yeah, do what brandon said, or search www.php.net for "fread" and "fwrite"

It wouldn't hurt to give a hint as to what the code is doing that you find objectionable.

Just for clarification, it's not APpending if it goes at the top of the file. :-)
That would be PREpending.

Sigh.

But he said WARNING which implies a penalty. Now, all of us may know the answer and choose not to directly answer it but it's an 'unusual' way of prefacing a request for help.

Anyways, I got a good laugh or three out of the post =)

Well I know the answer Im just afraid to post it due to whatever penalty I will pay. I have been "Warned"? A very strange way to preface a ploy for help. I think ANY responses would be an effort in HELPING. If you want to bitch about the help then PAY FOR IT. LOOSER. I notice NOBODY answered MR PICKYs question. If your gonna be picky about your replys then at least ask a worthy question!

LOL

MrDanny did post again and was answered because he stroked the appropriate egos.
