Hi, This is my current code: $lines = file("http://www.mysite.com/hello.txt"); $file="http://www.mysite.com/hello.txt"; $ourFileName = "hello.txt"; $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'wb') or die("can't open file"); fclose($ourFileHandle); $newFileName="http://www.yoursite.com/hello.txt"; echo $newFileName; $result=rename($ourFileName, $newFileName); $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'wb') or die("can't open file"); // Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too. foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { echo "<p>Line #<b>{$line_num}</b> : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "</p>"; $ourFileHandle = fopen($newFileName, 'wb') or die("can't open file"); $content=fwrite($ourFileHandle, htmlspecialchars($line)); echo "<p>The line: $content has been written into $newFilename</p>"; } fclose($ourFileHandle); Do you mean to edit $ourFileHandle to fopen($ourFileName, 'wba')? What I really wanted to do is to copy the file directory from $file to $newFileName directory using the cp command or something, but if I cannot do that, writing in and out of the file may be good enough.

You need to open the file in append mode = 'a+'. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
