Write File in php

[pulikuttann]

I am a newbie in php and I just entered the file writing.
I have created a file and write to it from the browser with input text box.
But when ever I write the older contents are rewritten.
Can I make it static ???

Help !!!

When you say:
"But when ever I write the older contents are rewritten."

do you mean:
"But when ever I write the older contents are OVERwritten"?

If so, you need to open the file in APPEND mode. Instead of opening it with the 'w' or 'w+' flag, try using 'a' or 'a+'.

As mentioned above, use "append" or "a+"

Example:

<?php

$fp = fopen("file.txt", "a+");

fwrite($fp, "Hello! ");
fwrite($fp, "World!");

?>
