That works, but it just throws it in to a big loop and fills up the file, any suggestions?

Ok, The fix is just doing something like this...

list($variable, $data) = explode("=", $x);

But now my problem is trying to figure out how to update that data with <form> post ect...

So the main page would get

MaxUser=32

It would read that info and put it in to a form field, which I have.

Now I gotta get it to take and make it so that a new value can be put in that field and updated back in to the text file. I have searched all over google for about 4 hrs looking for something like this but no go, any help would be appricated.

This is a simple example but it should work for you:

$new_textcontent = "";

foreach($_POST as $area => $value) {
  $new_textcontent .= $area . "=" . $value . "\n";
}

$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
fputs($fp, $new_textcontent);
fclose($fp);

How about posting your solution as well? Maybe someone will find it useful.

I'm trying to figure out how to read specific data from a text file that
is already written. Example

MaxUser=3D32
PortBase=3D8000

I want to be able to have php read them specific pieces of info so I can
put them in to forms and update them via php.
Any help would be appreciated.
