    Hi,

    I'm trying to create a small script that loads or creates a text file in the /articles directory.

    However, it is not creating a new file if exists, or updating it.

    Here is my code to select the file:
    <form action="admin-ep.php" method="post" name="editpageform">
    <p>
        Page Name:<br />
        <input name="pagename" type="text" /></p>
    <p>
        <input name="EditPage" type="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
    Code (php):
    Here is my code to edit the file:
    <html>
<head>
<title>Edit Page :: Powered by rydgroup Club Site</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body {
    font-family: Helvetica, Arial;
    }
    </style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.rydgroup.net/editor/ckeditor.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<h2>
    ADMIN AREA</h2>

<?php 

$pagename = $_POST['pagename'];

$fn = "./articles/$pagename.txt"; 
$file = fopen($fn, "w+"); 
$size = filesize($fn); 

if($_POST['Update']) fwrite($file, $_POST['editor1']); 

//$text = fread($file, $size); 
fclose($file); 
?> 

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post"> 

            <textarea name="editor1"><?php $file ?>></textarea>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
            </script>


<input type="submit" value="Update"/> 

</form>
    Code (php):
    What's wrong with it?

    Thanks

    Make sure the file has either 755 or 777 CHMOD permissions.

    <?php
$file = 'people.txt';
// The new person to add to the file
$person = "John Smith\n";
// Write the contents to the file, 
// using the FILE_APPEND flag to append the content to the end of the file
// and the LOCK_EX flag to prevent anyone else writing to the file at the same time
file_put_contents($file, $person, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
?>
    PHP:
    you can see file_put_contents and file_get_contents

    You've got 2 mistakes:

    remove comments from this line:
    //$text = fread($file, $size);
    PHP:
    like this
    $text = fread($file, $size);
    PHP:
    <textarea name="editor1"><?php $file ?>></textarea>
    PHP:
    should be:
    <textarea name="editor1"><?php echo $text ?>></textarea>
    PHP:
