Inspired by a text file question i saw on here today, I wonder if anyone can give me a quick example of passing text area input from a form to fill areas of a text file ??

I'm sure I'll need to go the whole hog and learn PHP and MySql, but in the meantime any help would be trmendously helpful.....

I'll be yer best mate forever.....

Can you not install MySQL? It's easier...

function getanylinefromfile($int,$file)
	{

	$result = "";
	$count = "0";

		$fp = fopen ($file, "r") or die("Couldn't open $filename");	
	
		while (! feof($fp)){
			$line = fgets($fp,1024);
			$count = $count + 1;

			if ($count == $int){
				$result = $line;
				
				}
			}

		$result = stripslashes("$result");
		return $result;	


	}


function gethtmlfromfile($file){

		$filename = "$file";

		$htmlfromfile = "";

		$fp = fopen ($filename, "r") or die("Couldn't open $filename");	
	
		while (! feof($fp)){
			$line = fgets($fp,1024);
			$htmlfromfile = "$htmlfromfile"."$line";	
				}

		$htmlfromfile = stripslashes("$htmlfromfile");
		return $htmlfromfile;

		}

function writealltofile($text,$file){


		$fp = fopen ($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file");
		flock ($fp,LOCK_EX);
	
		fwrite($fp, "$text");

		flock ($fp,LOCK_UN);
		fclose ($fp);
	

	}

function writelinetofile($lineint,$linetext,$file){

		$fp = fopen ($file, "r") or die("Couldn't open $file");

		$writeback = "";
		$count = 0;
	
		while (! feof($fp)){
			$line = fgets($fp,1024);

			$count = $count + 1;

			if($count == $lineint){
			$writeback = $writeback.$linetext."\n";
				}
			else{
			$writeback = $writeback.$line;
				}	
		
		}

		$fp = fopen ($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file");
		flock ($fp,LOCK_EX);
	
		fwrite($fp, "$writeback");

		flock ($fp,LOCK_UN);
		fclose ($fp);
	}

These are functions I use in many projects.
