[PHP] modifying .txt files

[joso]

hey there,

is it possible to display the contents of a .txt file in form field within a webpage so you can edit the content then have a button at the bottom that allows you to save it...

any tuts you know of would be swell!

First of all i suggest you go to www.php.net (http://www.php.net) and search the functions for fopen(). Anyways I will try to give you a little tutorial i guess ^_^



<?PHP

echo"<form action='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."' method='post'>";

$file = fopen("PATH TO FILE", 'w+');

echo"<textarea name='file_content' value='".$file."><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'></form>";

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$file = fopen("PATH TO FILE", 'w+');

if(!$write = fwrite("PATH TO FILE", $_POST['file_content'])){
echo"File could not be written to";
exit;
}
echo"File Updated";
}
?>


I believe this would do the trick. I haven't tested it or anything but if anyone wants to edit it feel free :P
