Hi everybody,

I would like to write a simple code to add some text at the begining of
a file without erase the other data.

in my file:

news4
news3
news2
news1

if I want to add the text "news5!", the file will look like this:

news5!
news4
news3
news2
news1

So I wrote this:

<?php

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['go'])) {

$content = "\r\n" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['news'] . "<br />";

$write = fopen('news.ini', 'r+');

fwrite($write, $content);

fclose($write);

?>


<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="news" size="28" /><input type="submit"
name="go" value="Go" />
</form>

<?php

} else {

?>

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="news" size="28" /><input type="submit"
name="go" value="Go" />
</form>

<?php

}

?>

But this code doesn't work, everything is erase in my file, no new line
appears...
Could you please me ?
Thank you, and hope my english is understandable.

Open the file first for reading, put its contents into an array or other
PHP variable, then re-write the file with your new data on the first line,
followed by the original contents....

I think if you are writing to a file, it either starts as a new file or could
set your commands to append to the end of an existing one.

If you are trying to add to the beginning, you probably need to juggle a few
files temporarily. Maybe start a new file with the content you want on top, then
append the original content to the end of that new file. You would need to
juggle file names around a bit.

Use append instead, 'a', this will add new lines to the bottom instead of at
the first position in the file (as long as you don't read ahead).
