following the link does indeed give the offers you suggested.

Sir, you did NOT follow the link I mentioned:
http://intercession.net/specialoffers. This offers the web-hosting at
%59.40 for the year.
Instead you followed the link on http://intercession.net.

I use an ISP (http://intercession.net/specialoffers) who provides PHP and
MySQL support on an Apache server (Cobalt Linux) for $5 per month...yes, $5
per month. No extra charges for either. $250 meg space. Full FTP.

So, there's nothing on the web that demonstrates text-file manipulation?
OK. I was hoping for an example somewhere that I could dig into and learn
from, but if I have to buy a book, well, I'm still trying to figure out
if PHP is what I want to use or not. I'm much more comfortable with Cold
Fusion, though no more experienced. CF is much more compatible with what
I already know and I got the same results with CF in about 1/3 the time
it took me in PHP. Unfortunately, CF would require a change of ISP, and I
really don't want to change ISPs (that would be a horrible thing, having
been with the same ISP since the beginning of 1996).
I don't think I want to spend money on a book for a platform that I may
discard.
Maybe I can negotiate with the ISP (I've done it before in behalf of
clients).
