That is a limitation of the operating system generally. What you need to do is read the file in a line at a time into a variable or array, stop when you get to where you want to add your bit and tack it on, then continue loading the rest of the file. When done, write the file out again. > 2. Can I pass a PHP variable on an anchor tag to another php document?
