Hello I'm writing a simple guest book type script that it recievies info from a form and then writes it to a file then a page will read the file it writes it to but when i use r+ or anything it always adds it to the end of the file it isent a huge deal but i would kind of like the newer posts to be at the top

You will have to code around it. Try this:

1. (assuming the file is called guest.txt) Rename guest.txt to guest-temp.txt.

2. Create a new guest.txt and write the new entry to it.

3. Read guest-temp.txt and then write it back out to guest.txt. You might have to do this in chunks.

4. When done, delete guest-temp.txt

I had the same problem a while ago in this post. I never got the "r+" method to work.

However, if you visit my web site then you can download my simple guest book script which has a good feature set at the moment and could easily be expanded to do anything else you want.

I haven't experienced your problem, but here is one thing to try (per Micheal's suggestion). I shamelessly borrowed this from somewhere:

/*No r+ required*/
$file = "test.txt";
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
$contents = "Add this text to the file".$contents;

$fp = fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($fp,$contents);
fclose($fp);
/*end example*/
