I have a simple FORM with one textbox. I want to write (append) to a file the string people put in the textbox. However, the string is always written double in the file. For example, if I put YAHOO in the textbox, the file will contain: YAHOO YAHOO Why is that? Any help will be greatly appreaciated. I'm using php4, apache, redhat linux. Below is my code. <? if(isset($words)) { $words = $words ."\n"; $fw = fopen('file.txt', 'a'); fwrite($fw, $words); unset($words); fclose($fw); } echo "<HTML>"; echo "<HEAD>"; echo "<TITLE>Reuben-Audy Chat</TITLE>"; echo "</HEAD>"; echo "<BODY>"; echo "<P>"; echo "<FORM ACTION=\"fwrite.php3?\" METHOD=\"POST\">"; echo "<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=\"words\" OnChange=\"submit();\">"; echo "</FORM>"; echo "</P>"; echo "</BODY></HTML>"; ?> Thanks for any help Reuben D.
