How can I make an 'edit file' form in PHP?

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
Now I know how to upload files, and I'd also like to make a form with an ability to edit files. Can somebody there show me the way ?

TIA

Are you editing text files?

If so, then this is a simple way.

Have a simple form that submits to a normal file writing script. Make your form input:

<TEXTAREA><?@readfile(&quot;your.file&quot;?></TEXTAREA>

That will come up with a form with the contents of the file inside the textarea. So when you edit, you submit and it overwrites the old one.

Hope that was what you were after. Dean Owen
