I've got a php news script on my site, it works well, except for the fact that the new news is entered at the bottom of the page and the old news stays at the top.
So, unless I edit the news data to turn the tables around everytime I enter some news it will stay the same.
Is there a script I can enter to flip the tables around or so that next time I enter some news in it enters it into the top instead of the bottom? thanks.

news script: http://membres.lycos.fr/enterthefog/update/news.php

if ( ! file_exists("news.txt") ) {
touch("news.txt");
} else {

I think thats what he means.
The original script posts the new news at the bottom instead of at the top, which isn't good.

{
if ( ! file_exists("news.txt") ) {
touch("news.txt");
} else {
$fp = fopen( "news.txt", 'r' );
$Existing_File = fread($fp, filesize('news.txt'));
fclose($fp);
}
$fp = fopen( "news.txt", 'w' );
fwrite ( $fp, "

\n");
fputs ( $fp, $Existing_File);
print "News Sent!";
fclose($fp);
}
if ( isset($clearflag) && $clearflag == "clear")
{
unlink("News.txt");
touch("News.txt");
print "Database reset!";
}
?>

try that

Send the .zip of all the file to [email protected] if you like :o)

neither of them did it, Nimco's edit didn't post the news, Turbonutter's kept the script the same, tis weird, it's probably my cache playing up.

What Nimco wrote should do it.

Though I think it would be better to right just the data values, without the HTML Tags in, as if you wanted to change the layout of your site, you'd have to go though the while file.

Ah, so you're opening and appending. Good plan.
