Read/write a text file

What do I use to create and write into a text file and then read as well. I'm thinking of adding inline comments to my sites articles. Or is there a better way to do it other than read/write text files?

 

www.php.net/fopen
www.php.net/fwrite
www.php.net/close

There are examples as well.

Or www.php.net/file_put_contents if you have PHP 5.

 

Could use a relational database:

sqllite
mysql
postgres

 

Also you can read much more easy with


$data=file_get_contents('file.txt');

or even
$data_file_get_contents('http://www.geoseo.com'); things like that

 

Oh, ok I get it. Sorry I don't know how to use a database. Me a noobie.
