The classic method is:
1.) read the whole file into an array of strings.
2.) search for the last line
3.) insert a string BEFORE the last line.
4.) write back the whole file to the same name

Classic file handling does allow you to append to the end of a file, or recreate as a whole. Usually these types of editing must be done in memory, because file handling does not allow inserts, deletes.

Subject: [PHP] Writing to a file


Hello everybody,

How would I go about writing stuff to a file but in between the <?php ?>
tags?

Example, say I have config.php as follows...

<?php

$hostname = "localhost";
$database = "database";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

?>

How would I go about adding stuff at the end of the file, but before the
?> tag?
