I an using the fwrite command to show how it works but it is writing extra
data.  For example, I have a Form text box that prompts for a new string of
data then on submit it writes this to the text file and for just a test I
wrote "this is a test" and I got the text below.  I don't understand why??

this is a testy>
</html>
  / / DTD HTML

I put a space between the two slashes otherwise Outlook puts a "file:" in
front of it like this //


Here is a snippet of my code for performing the write, there is enough here
show you my approach.


print "<form name=myform action=fileio.php>";

$filename="c:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache\\htdocs\\testfile.txt";
$fp=fopen($filename, "r+");

if (!empty($newText)){
    fwrite($fp, $newText);
    fclose($fp);
    $fp=fopen($filename, "r+");
    $contents=fread($fp, filesize($filename));
}else {
   $contents=fread($fp, filesize($filename));
}
fclose($fp);

print "The content of the file is: <p><b>".nl2br($contents)."</b>";
print "<br><p>Enter some text to write to the file.<br>";
print "<input type=text name=newText size=30><br>";
print "<input type=submit value='write text'>";


Note: I know I probably shouldn't write to a file and then reopen it, but I
am trying to demonstrate that I am actually reading and writing so I didn't
want to cheat and say I was actually reading it when I wasn't.

The resulting text always has the "testy>
</html>
  // DTD HTML " text appended after it. (???????)
