Re: [PHP] text file reading and overwrite
Have a problem in reading a text file and displaying it in a text box area,also what function should i used to overwrite an existing text file. For textarea type text boxes, use the following - textarea$var/textarea Please note that if you include *any* kind of spaces or tabs or other characters between the textarea tags that it will dump them into the text area as well. i.e. - textarea $var /textarea The 'action' file of the form will receive the following (unless the contents are modified of course) - \n$var\n For input type text boxes, use the following - input type='text' value='$var' / As to reading a file, see Example 1 under fgets(). For deleting files, see unlink(). Patrick p.s. you'll want to html encode $var before dumping it into either one of these or else the contents of $var could mess up the html in the page. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can't tell you anything about your problem without knowing what's going on (error messages are helpful). As for overwriting a file, just use: fopen($filename,w); The w option tells it to open the file for writing and to truncate it to zero-length. ---Matt, XPODesigns.com -Original Message- From: Michael P.
