Read and save textarea to text file

[moe]

Hi Guys;

 

I am trying to read a text file into a text area allow changes to the text then save the text back to the file on submit. (hope that makes sense )

 

Here is the code:

 

 

<?php

if($_POST['addition']){
$file_name = "something.txt";

$file_open = fopen("something.txt","a+");
fwrite($file_open, $_POST['addition']);
fclose($file_open);
}
?>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="POST">
<textarea name="addition" COLS=40 ROWS=6>
<?php
$datalines = file ("something.txt");

foreach ($datalines as $zz) {
echo $zz; }

?>
</textarea>

<input type="submit" name="addition">

 

It does not seem to be saving the text back.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Oh yeah this is a multi-line (list) text file - as in:

1

2

3

4

etc

etc

 

Cheers;

you have given same name for  submit button and text area

 

also make sure that you hv write permission to file

 

below code is working try it

<?php

if($_POST['addition']){


$file_open = fopen("something.txt","w+"); //fopen("something.txt","a+"); to add the contents to file
fwrite($file_open, $_POST['addition']);
fclose($file_open);
}
?>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="POST">
<textarea name="addition" COLS=40 ROWS=6>
<?php
$datalines = file ("something.txt");

foreach ($datalines as $zz) {
echo $zz; }

?>
</textarea>

<input type="submit" name="button">
    </form>
