Sorry, really stupid question...

Honestly, what does this do: $fileID = fopen("nicknames.txt", "a") or die("Could not open " . $path .. "/nicknames.txt"); chmod("nicknames.txt", 0755); fputs($fileID, $nickname . "\n"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID); What does it EXACTLY do? What I'm trying to do is very very simple: I have the nickname of "phil" and I add it to nicknames.txt as "phil" + "\n". The next person adds his name as "bob" + "\n". However, this happens: phil philbob Is it due to the way I'm adding to the file? Can someone show me how to append to a file properly without carrying over persistent existing data like what you see above, instead having it like this: phil bob Thanx, I'm lost here. Phil
