Editing Files with PHP

I am trying to create a small script to open a file and edit it. However, when I open a file with PHP in it the PHP is stripped out. It open as if I was viewing the page source. How do I fix this? Here is the code I am using. <form action="filewrite.php" method="post"> <textarea rows="15" cols="70" name="content"> <?php include($file) ; ?> </textarea> <input type="text" name="filename" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> Filewrite looks like this <?php $File = $filename; $Handle = fopen($File, 'r+'); $Data = $content; fwrite($Handle, $Data); fclose($Handle); print "Data Written."; ?> Like I said, it is very simple but, I can write php if I start with a blank page but, I can open a file and view it.
