Hi,
when I do that, nothing is written to news.txt, and I'm not sure why.
This is the entire script:
<?php
if ($_POST['news'])
{
$fp = fopen( "news.txt", "w");
$success = fwrite( $fp, "$POST_['news']" );
fclose($fp);
if (!success)
{
echo "<p>unable to write to news.txt</p>";
exit;
}
Header("Location: http://archives1.mdah.state.ms.us/news.php"; );
}
?>
<html>
<head><title>News update</title></head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<p>Please make your changes below and then click submit:</p>
<?php
if ( $_GET['action'] = "update")
{
echo "<form action=$PHP_SELF METHOD=POST>";
echo "<textarea name=news rows=10 cols=50 wrap=virtual>";
$fp = fopen( "news.txt", 'r' );
while ( ! feof ($fp) )
{
$line = fgets( $fp, 9999 );
$line = htmlspecialchars(nl2br($line));
echo "$line";
}
echo "</textarea>
<br>
<input type=submit value=submit name=submit>
</form>";
fclose($fp);
}
?>
<a href="http://archives1.mdah.state.ms.us/news.php";>home</a>
</body></html>
