I couldn't get this to work. Here is my complete script:
<?
function WriteToFile ($URL, $Description) {
$file = "bonzai.txt";
$open = fopen ($file, "a");
if ($open) {
fwrite ($open, "$URL\t$Description\n");
fclose ($open);
$Worked = TRUE ;
} else {
$Worked = FALSE;
}
return $Worked;
}
function ReadFromFile() {
$file = "bonzai.txt";
$open = fopen ($file, "r");
if ($open) {
print ("URLs currently listed in the data file:<P>\n");
$data = file ($file);
for ($n = 0; $n < count($data); $n++) {
$GetLine = explode("|", $data[$n]);
print ("$GetLine[0]<p>\n");
}
fclose ($open);
print ("<hr><P>\n");
} else {
print ("Unable to read from bonzai.txt!<BR>\n");
}
}
ReadFromFile();
?>
It gives me some error. I'm still pretty new to php, so I still need to
learn all of this.
