Question about fputs

[dhuan]

how can i make the fputs/fwrite command writte at the beginning of the file instead of at the end of file?

 

Here's my code:

$fp=fopen($file,a);

fwrite($fp,$save);

 

I tested my code, it worked and all, the problem is, i want "$save" to be written before everything's been written, not after!    (i'm sorry if i didnt make myself clear enough, english aint my first language, i'm tryin my best though!)

from what i remeber you cant, just reverse the data when you read it back

[dhuan]

you mind telling me how this can be done, please?

[dt192]

most read back functions read the lines into an array and i'm sure there is an array reverse  function so you would just use that on the array or if not then just write a few lines of script to do it i'll have a look around and post you some code

[dt192]

$lines = split("\n", file_get_contents('filename'));

array_reverse($lines);

foreach ( $lines as $line ) {echo $line . '<br/>';}

 

not tested but should be ok

HEY THANKS!

i didnt do exactly what you told me, but you mentioned that code "file_get_contents" that i'd never heard of before.

 

here's what i did:

 

$old=file_get_contents($file);

 

$save="$contentfilledintheform <br> $old";

 

$fp=fopen($file,w);

fwrite($fp,$save);

 

 

and guess what! it worked like a charm

thanks again, pal! ;D ;D

yep yours would work better actually because it would only need to be reordered once when written rather than being reordered every time its read, good stuff :-D
