Ouch, another question - reading a set of html and giving an option

Sorry guys got another question which will be useful for future reference as well.

I'm creating a backend now for my script, and it needs to read a set of html (such as <p>Data: Data here<br>Cost: 0.00) This is one set of data, and there are many sets of this type of set listed one by one in a PHP page.

The admin panel needs to read one set of this code, and then next to it be an option to delete the entire set from the PHP page.

Anyone understand what I mean

Thanks!

 

Why don't you write/delete the data to a db table instead of writing and deleting to pages?

 

I was planning on that, but PHP seemed more efficient.

I guess if I'm going to go in a different direction I will need to know how to write the data to a .txt file rather than a PHP file and show it that way. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

 

You can use fwrite() to do that.

 

Yes, but I have no idea how to use fwrite()... which is why I have been using php all along.

Any tuts or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

http://www.php.net is the authority site.

The fwrite function is documented here:
