The only way to write to the middle of a file is to load the file, then rewrite the file the way you want it. If it is a delimited file it is easy. IF it is a text file you will have to figure out how to parse the information then place the new data were you want it. We would need more information before we can help you. > > 2. Can I pass a PHP variable on an anchor tag to another php document? Yes you can. This has been discussed on this list several times. Look in archives. The best thing about PHP is that you do not have to send data to an other page. It is better to use include().
