UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Reverse the order a script writes to a file...

Right, I have a script.
You fill in a form and it writes the infomation one after the other.

How would I make it so that new entrie go at the top?

I've done a search before I posted, and it came up with nothing. So if this was been mnetioned before, please just point me in the direction and dont flame me

Cheers

AFAIK, you can't write directly to the top of the file without overwriting the contents below... the ">>" in the open basically means "append". I think the seek() function only allows for binary editing of a file...

Here's a solution: (I hope)


Apologies for the inefficient code, but I'm on a foreign computer, and can't remember the "open AND write" option. ("+>" or something?)

Just curious, why do you need to write to the top instead of the end of the file? Everything can be read into an array and accessing the last elements are just as easy as the first. It makes no diff to the computer

Or a hash, if you so choose to do it that way. (I dont know your script, so i dont know if a hash would be better for you or not)
