Save

	if ( $action == 'save' || $save )
{
    $nname   = trim($nname);
	$text 	= trim($text);
	if (!empty($text))
	{ 	
		$text = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $text);		// make the quotes visible ' --> '
		$text = ereg_replace('\\\"', '"', $text); 			// remove escaping from doublequotes  \"
		$text = ereg_replace("\n", '<br>', $text); 			// linefeed / breakline ...

		($nr =='new')? $news[] = $text : $news[$nr] = $text;

		save_news();
	}

Well, I don't see anywhere in your script where it inserts anything into a flat file.

 

I see that you have a function called save_news(), maybe that is where you save it to the file? Could you post the code to that function?

function save_news()
{
	global $news;
	ksort ($news);

	$data = serialize(array_values($news));
	$fp 	= fopen(DATA_FILE,"w+");
					fputs($fp,$data);
					fclose($fp);

	header("Location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?action=show"); 	// Stop the reload problem 
}
