file handling

[gusblake]

how do you append a file, but starting at the beginning?, so when you add to it the new stuff appears at the top?

[Simply]

I think you will have to read the contents of the file then add your new info and rewrite the file.

$old_file = file_get_contents('somefile');
$new_file = $new_contents;
$new_file.= $old_file;
$fh = fopen('somefile', 'r+')
if (fwrite($fh, $new_file) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ('somefile')";
exit;
}
fclose($fh);
