writing data to a file

[SFB]

I was wondering if there was a way to write data in a file just before ?>. It would be helpfull. I could just remove ?> and putt it back in when i write over the file again but I dont feel like doing it that way.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, are you writing code to a PHP file and want to start inside the ?> ? There's not a way to start at a specific offset. Just remove the last few characters and then include them in what you write.

i guessed that people wouldnt undersand. well rember when i was working on a login script. I should have just posted it in that one. I will go back to that topic and things be more clear again.

one thing you could do is put a variable before the ?> so when it writes, it adds whatever jazz the variable has, and if the variable is empty then no extra stuff is added.

You can open the file in read mode, read backwards 2 characters, put that into a variable, then read backwards to the beginning and put that in a variable. Then you can close the file and open it again in write mode. You can then re-write all of the beginning from the second variable, append whatever you want to write, and then put on the first variable to close it.

I really shouldnt have made this new topic. it related so much to my old one i got all the help i needed there.
