phast1 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 From a quick look at your code, it seems like it should work.. Is there an error being displayed when you try to run it??

Schlo_50 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 There is not error message, thats the thing. It just doesn't actually edit and update the .txt file which is echoed in the text area.

dj-kenpo Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 are your permissions set for read+write in whatever folder you're storing the txt in?
