Any way to do that without storing news > items in a database or seperate .txt files for each news item? Okay: - news.txt contains the current news. - $newnews contains the new news. - temp.txt we'll create as an intermediate step. 1. Write $newnews to a temp.txt. 2. Append news.txt to the end of temp.txt (you could use basic unix commands to do this, ie 'cat news.txt >> newfile', or you could open both files in PHP and copy the contents line by line). Appending means we add it to the end of the file. 3. Copy temp.txt to news.txt. 4. Unlink() temp.txt. Jason (who didn't feel like coding it, sorry)
