Without seeing the script, it'd be hard for us to say. So, post the
_relevant parts_ of the script to the list.
Here's the code:
?
// Saving edited data to the file
// Data File : This file need to be writeable
$file_name = data.txt;
// check to see if submit was pressed
if ($insert $linenumber) {
// check existence of file
$try = touch($file_name);
if (!$try) {
echo pI'm sorry, but I couldn't open a file!;
exit;
}
$array = file($file_name);
// this is the stuff we get from the form, we insert it into an array
$input = array ($id, $name, $creator, $myreview, $prefix, $directory,
$sort, $comments);
// note that we add a \n (line break) to the end of the string.
$output_line = implode ($input, |).\n;
// Now open the file (get a file pointer)
$output_stream = fopen($file_name, w+);
$counter = 0;
foreach($array as $key = $line) {
if($counter == $linenumber) {
$line = $output_line;
}
$out[] = chop($line);
$counter++;
}
foreach($out as $key = $line) {
$result=fputs($output_stream, $line.\n);
}
// close the file pointer
fclose($output_stream);
// give feedback
if ($result) {
echo pData has been sucessfully added.\n;
echo a href=.$PHP_SELF.?line_num=.$linenumber.View updated
record/a;
}
else {
echo pUhoh. . . the database didn't like that.;
}
}else{
// Viewing data from file in a form
//to read the file use:
$fp2= fopen(data.txt, r);
$line_cnt=0;
while ($servinfo=fgets($fp2,1024)){
if ($line_cnt == $line_num){
$right_line = $servinfo;
list($id, $name, $creator, $myreview, $prefix, $directory, $sort,
$comments)= explode(|,$right_line);
break;
}
$line_cnt++;
}
fclose($fp2);

The data.txt file has this format:

2|3|7|2|1|9|ship_names_2L|7
4|3|2|7|5|6|ship_names|3
The default line_num is 0. The other entries - database3.php?line_num=1,
database3.php?line_num=2 etc.

But, if $linenumber is 0, this process won't happen. And, that was the
complaint you mentioned up front.
So, you should do an isset($linenumber) instead.

Thanks.
It works using if ($insert isset($linenumber)) {.
So because the value of linenumber is 0 on the first line, the if statement
was evaluating to false and therefore the update wouldn't occur, correct?

Exactly. If statements need something that's not '' or 0 in order to
evaluate as positive.

Unfortunately, if a file is opened for appending via fopen('name', 'a'),
the manual says the data is put at the end of the file regardless of using
fseek().

I've written a script that edits a specific line in a text file and saves
the changes to the file for that specific line. I've noticed though that I
can't edit the first line in the file, which would be zero in the array
created by the file() function. When I write the edited data back to the
file I am using w+ as the mode.
Is this related to the array or to the file mode?

These syntaxes might be useful...
