[snip] I'd like to save some program preferences to a txt file where they can be recalled and updated at a later time. Basically this will be a variable name and a value. Can someone suggest a reference or method to best perform this task? [/snip] Open a new file, save stuff to it, close the file. Include the file where you need the prefs. http://www.php.net/fopen http://www.php.net/explode -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
