Hello all, I am trying to open a file (successful), then rewrite over the file when it is saved via a form on a website. I have used the following code, yet it simple rewrites from the file pointer, but does not clear the file before writing. Thanks for any help. <?php $buff = fopen("sample.txt", "r+"); $text = "This is new text for yay"; if(!fwrite($buff, $text)) { print("Unable to write to file"); } else { print("File written successfully"); } ?>

Use the manual, Luke. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php The word you're looking for here is 'truncate'. -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
