This will append This is pretty basic to the end of the file instead of
overwriting the file.
<?php
$basic = fopen("basic.txt", "a+");
fputs($basic, "This is pretty basic\n");
fclose($basic);
?>
It is really easy to read in the entire file into an array. Probably
not very efficient, but will get you started quickly.
<?php
$prettyBasic = file("basic.txt");
for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($prettyBasic); $i++) {
echo "$prettyBasic[$i]<br>";
}
?>
Search the online manual for more information on these functions.

If I don't document something, it's usually either for a good reason,
or a bad reason. In this case it's a good reason. :-)
