You need to copy the contents of the current file. Then recreate the file by writing the new message then writing back the original contents. e.g. $fname = basename($PHP_SELF). ".comment"; $fsize = filesize($fname); fp = fopen(basename($fname)); $data = fread($fp,fsize); fwrite($fp,$message); fwrite($fp,$data); fclose($fp); -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 March 2001 11:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] please help with this simple problem i am coding a simple script to post a text area into a file. it works, but it posts it at the bottom and i wanted to have it post to the top of the text already there.. here's a snip of the important part of the script: $fp = fopen (basename($PHP_SELF) .
