UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Need help on u-fakers ddl script. [writing prob]

I want to make a cgi that stores lines into a text file.

the lines should look like this

Filename##Uploadersname##discription here with
tags enabled##1 the links##

These lines must be stores in a file called: applist.sw.

I need a form for this so members can fill in their uploaders and post them directally on the board.

I managed to create a cgi script.. watch it here: http://www.l4sh3r.net/~uf/apps/ddl.cgi
This cgi reads the files from applist.sw and prints them on the screen. So far so good. I must edit the files manualy because I can't seem to create a form thats stores lines like

12

into the lines like the one above.
I am not experienced with this writing to file stuff. Can someone write an example for me thats writes lines like the my first example line?

Any help would be appreciated.

ps. Maybe this is usefull, I tried to edit this speedywarez ddl script that stores it in almost the same way as I want. But it just won't work for me (rookie me):

I don't think anyone is going to help you write a script for a warez site.

Doesn't matter, I learned some new stuf now, and was able to fix the script. I used perlbuilder to create a new form and everything went fine. I can't seem to fix one thing

When I display a list like this:

============================================
foreach $line(@dbfile) {

($appname,$upname,$urls) =split(/##/, $line);
print <

$appname

$urls

$upname

EOF

##
}#
##
=======================================

how can I make the files sort themselves alphabetically? so the program checks appname, and then sort the list?
thats my little problem.

Thanks for any suggestions.
