JUST TO QUOTE AND POINT THIS OUT: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3. if you're using fseek() to write data to a file, remember to open the file in "r+" mode, example: $fp=fopen($filename,"r+"); DON'T open the file in mode "a" (for append), because it puts the file pointer at the end of the file and doesn't let you fseek earlier positions in the file (it didn't for me!). Also, don't open the file in mode "w" -- although this puts you at the beginning of the file -- because it wipes out all data in the file. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took me half a day to figure :/ ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 217.91.51.80 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81450 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81450 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81450 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
