Hi, I have the code as in the following: <?php $name= "Test"; $phone= "123-456-7890"; $email = "myemail@xxxxxxxxxx"; $comments = "Test Only"; $string = "<message>\n<name>" . $name . "</name>\n<phone>" . $phone . "</phone>\n<email>". $email . "</email>\n<comments>" . $comments . "</comments>\n</message>"; //If file exists. append, otherwise create $file = "messages.xml"; $fh = fopen($file,"a"); $lines = file($file); //Output a line of the file until the end is reached foreach($lines as $line) { if (trim($line) == "<messages>") { $line = "<messages>" . $string; // If string, change it. echo $line . "<br>"; fwrite($fh, $line); } else { // If not don't write anything echo $line . "<br>"; } fclose($file); // Close the file. } ?> For some reason, it is writing out the lines, but it is not f-writing to the file. Here is the file that is meant to be edited: <messages> <message> <name>Me</name> <phone>123-456-7890</phone> <email>test@xxxxxxxx</email> <comments>This is my message board!</comments> </message> </messages> Have I missed something here? How come the file cannot perform fwrite actions? Thanks for your help. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
