Writing to a text file. -- Help.

[Anon]

Hello,

I am using PHP to write data to a text file.
For example, the text file will contain:

this is a test

The next time I want to write to the text file, I want my data to appear before what was already there. For example, "blah". I want it to appear as:

blah this is a test

Instead of "this is a test blah". How do I do this?

Thanks,
J. Kim

Look at the fopen(), fread(), fwrite() functions in the manual. They have some very good examples of how to do what you want to do.

<pre>'w' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

How about if I dont want it to truncate the file to zero length?
