Problem with writing to file.

[vern]

The following code appends to file successfully and works perfectly.

$handle = fopen("recent.txt", 'a');
fwrite($handle, $add);
fclose($handle);

However ... this code doesn't seem to write to the file. The only different is that I want this code to set the pointer at the beginning of the file instead of the end. Anybody have any clues to what is going on?

$handle = fopen("recent.txt", 'r+');
fwrite($handle, $add);
fclose($handle);

File might be locked.
Check.

Apparently I had to read out the contents and then append to the stream. Got it to work now.
