.TXT file editing

[inveni0]

I have a flash file that take text from a .txt file and uses it dynamically. I'd like to create a PHP page that will let a user edit the .txt file so that the new text can be loaded into the flash file. (Basically saving the upload process.)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld inveni0,

A lot of turtorials on the web for something like this. I googled for 'php file handling'. Check out [free2code.net...]

Hi inveni0, welcome to Webmaster World. :)

Thanks for the welcome. Is there better way than PHP to do this?

You can do it with any server-side processing tool of choice. You just happened to ask in the PHP Forum ;)

PHP makes it quite easy actually. You read the file, output the value to a textarea, do any edit-checking or security checks you want, and write the file back out. Give it a whirl, if you get stuck on anything there are plenty of folks here that will offer assistance while you learn.

I'll give it a whirl at work tomorrow and update on the progress, thanks!
