Not sure how I could do this as I could not find a functions on php.net to allow me to first delete the entire contents of a file "before" writting the changes supplied by a textarea. Here is what I have thus far: Page one - Form: <?php $file_name = 'blank.php'; $open_file = fopen("$file_name","rw"); if (!$open_file) { die("cannot open $file_name"); } else { $read_file = fread($open_file, filesize($file_name)); $strip_php = eregi_replace("<","&a&", $read_file); fclose($open_file); } ?> <form name="edit_passwords" method="post" action="edit_passwords.php"> <textarea name="passwords" cols="60" rows="7"><?php echo $strip_php; ?></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" name="save" value="save"> </form> Page two - open file and write changes: <?php if (!$passwords) { header ("Location: index.php"); } else { $file_name= "blank.php"; $file_open = fopen($file_name, "r+"); eregi_replace("&a&","<", $file_open); #eregi_replace("\","", $file_open); fwrite($file_open, $passwords); print ("$passwords was written to $file_name"); } ?> As of right now it opens the file and writes your changes, however it simply goes to the end of the file then begins writting. I would like to delete the contents of the file, then write the changes. Any help or pointers are appreciated! Jas
