Writing to a file. (PHP)

[Nasimov]

It's possible to ammend data within a file vs. just adding data to the beginning or the end of the file? Mean to change something in the "middle" of the file.
Thanks.

To have a php script that can edit info thats in the middle of another file?

IS that what your getting at?

I think you can but you have to know what line its one and obvously it would have to be data thats always on a given line in that file.

How to do it I cant remember but I belive when I was reading some php books it talked about doint it via the fopen(); and then something pertaning to the line count.

The easiest way to do this is to read all of the file into a variable (or array) & manipulate that using search & replace & then write it back to the file.

I hope this helps,

Bob
