Hi!  Thank you in advance for the time and assistance.

 

I am writing a form and some php code that writes to a text file.  I have that accomplished.  :)  My issue is that my form that writes to the text file appends to the bottom of the text file and I need it reversed.  The latest form entry needs to be on top... and then the older posts to follow. I have tried the w+ r+ and c+ but that is not doing it.  Is there something that I am missing?

 

I appreciate the assistance!

Mike

First off, that is horrendous.  Secondly, append means at the end.  Probably the only way is to read the file and pre-pend your data.  To clean up that mess try using just one variable to hold all of your data ($content).  I have shown this partially in the code, though there is a lot of other cleanup to be done:

 

$file = "2011_reports.txt";

if ($guide == "Mike") {
   $content = "images/staff/mike_tn.jpg";
}
if ($guide == "Zane") {
   $content = "images/staff/zane_tn.jpg";
}
if ($guide == "Zach") {
   $content = "images/staff/zane_tn.jpg";
}

if ($lake == "ohl") {
   $content .= '<iframe width="200" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=old+hickory+lake&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.775203,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Old+Hickory+Lake&t=h&ll=36.281645,-86.562824&spn=0.020757,0.025578&z=13&iwloc=A&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=old+hickory+lake&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.775203,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Old+Hickory+Lake&t=h&ll=36.281645,-86.562824&spn=0.020757,0.025578&z=13&iwloc=A" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>';
}

if ($lake == "pp") {
   $content .= '<iframe width="200" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=percy+priest+lake&aq=&sll=36.281623,-86.562785&sspn=0.077216,0.154324&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Percy+Priest+Lake&t=h&ll=36.156935,-86.617498&spn=0.01386,0.017252&z=14&iwloc=A&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=percy+priest+lake&aq=&sll=36.281623,-86.562785&sspn=0.077216,0.154324&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Percy+Priest+Lake&t=h&ll=36.156935,-86.617498&spn=0.01386,0.017252&z=14&iwloc=A" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>';
