Amending a file

[jayne1]

hi guys,

I'm trying to amend a text file so that the new text is placed at the beginning of the file without losing the original text.

I thought i had figured it out using a combination of "aw" modes with fopen .....but this only writes to end of the file!

PLEASE HELP!

you cannot directly add text in the beggining. The easiest solution to do what you want is:

$newtext="blabla";
$newtext.=implode("",file("filename.txt&quot); // this way you add the new text to the begining of the file

$fp=fopen("filename.txt","w+" // recreate the file.
fwrite($fp,$newtext,sizeof($newtext)); // write the new text and the old one
fclose($fp);

Attencion, i do not know the params order of the function fwrite.
