Jen Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi all,I am trying to teach myself a little PHP so I can put a news box on a website I'm designing. The news will be just a simple paragraph, not a blog, and it needs to be updated periodically by the site's owner. I plan to store the news content in a separate news.txt file on the server, and just use an include() to put the content onto the web page. What I need to know is how to use a form to input the news content and then write it to news.txt.Thanks!

wildteen88 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 To write a file on the server you can use fopen, fwrite and and fclose. All these functions are explained over at http://www.php.net/fopenI'll post a simple example in a minute Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16818-writing-to-file-on-server-beginner-help/#findComment-70794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchellm Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Jen, perhaps you'd be interested in a script I wrote not too long ago.It's very simple, and was originally used for a 'website notepad.' However, it'd be perfect for you. If you're interested, I'll send you the zip file with the files and instructions.
