note 10423 deleted from function.fopen by hholzgra

For people new to PHP, like I was several a month ago this will help out with the "functionallity" of fopen(). You can use multiple modes, or how to go about procedures with the file at hand. Inside the second parameter, the mode, can contain two letters. So if you were to put an "a" and a "w" there, ex. $fp = fopen ("text.txt", "aw"); it would behave as follows: When you fputs() something to the text.txt it will do everything that "a" does, but it will also carry over some attributes of "w"; In this case it will place the file pointer to the begining of the file, which I find quite handy. Here is an example of a little script taking advantage of this: <? $fp = fopen ("php.txt", "aw"); $fputs ("$name, $date, $title, $news); fclose ($fp); ?> This simply will take variables and write them into the *top* of a text file without deleting any of the origional text. -Peter PS> PHP ROCKS!
