Do you mean plain text files?
<?php
$test = "\nAdd this line to somefile.txt";
$handle = fopen("somefile.txt", "a"
;
fwrite($handle, $test);
fclose($handle);
$handle = fopen("somefile.txt", "r"
while (!feof($handle)) {
$content .= fread($handle, 1000);
}
fclose($handle);
echo $content;
?>
BTW, have a look at for information about the "r"'s and "a"'s.
HTH, Sascha
If you just want to read the file, you can also use cu, Sascha
<?php
$test = "\nAdd this line to somefile.txt";
$handle = fopen("somefile.txt", "a"
;fwrite($handle, $test);
fclose($handle);
$handle = fopen("somefile.txt", "r"
;while (!feof($handle)) {
$content .= fread($handle, 1000);
}
fclose($handle);
echo $content;
?>

Thanks alot, but I get an error when I use my script.
Is it because somefile.txt did not have any file permissions? I thought PHP scripts didn't have to have file permissions to over write a file.
Code:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /test-php/my/calvin.php on line 10Is it because somefile.txt did not have any file permissions? I thought PHP scripts didn't have to have file permissions to over write a file.
Line 10 is the fclose call after the while loop?
Strange error... But the file is created and the content is printed out as expected? cu, Sascha

yes.
if the file exists for a user you have to change the permitions of it to 777
chmod 777 file.txt
This way everybody can read/write/execute the file.
just another thing, when you open a file do something like this:
if(!($fp=fopen(...))){
echo "Cannot open file";
exit;
}
This way, if you cannot open the file the program exits.
