Tiny text script thing-a-ma-bob

Useless · 2006-01-05, 11:20 AM

Anyone know of a light script that can overwrite a single text file from a form? In other words, I want to be able to paste a bunch of text into a <textarea> of a form, hit submit, and have it overwrite what ever info is on data.txt, for example.

I can probably reverse engineer some bigger script that stores data on flatfiles and figure out how it's done, but if anyone knows of a small script that does that, I'd be eternally grateful, or at least until I fuck it all up.

You can use part of Recip Philes for that, and it's already on your server

. Hit me up on ICQ if you're on tonight and we'll work it out

Code:

  $filename = "/full/path/to/filename";
  $handle = fopen($filename,"wb");
  fwrite($handle,$_REQUEST['textareaname']);
  fclose($handle);

Awesome, Chris! Thanks tons.

Works like a charm.

Madmax, I'll probably hit you up anyway just to keep your productivity levels low.

It's far less offensive, but no where near as endearing.

ICQ? How do you spell that? I'll google it.
