I created a chat script which uses a flat file text database, the problem is when the chat logs are saved into the txt file the information is added to the top of the file and i would likeit to be added to the bottom.

How can this be done?

This is the code, what do i need to change?

PHP Code:

$user = $username ;

$f = file($file) ;

$users = array($user) ;

header ("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8") ; 

$fp = fopen($file, "w") ;

if (!$fp) { die ('Can not write to file .') ; }

for ($i=0; isset($f[$i])||$i==0; $i++) 

{

    $e=explode('||', $f[$i]) ;

    if ($e[2]=="\r\n" && !in_array($e[0], $users) && ( time() - $e[1] < $refresh*2 ) ) $users[]=$e[0] ;

    if ($i==0) { fputs($fp, $user."||".time()."||\r\n") ;

        if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['msg']) ) fputs ($fp, $user."||".time()."||".str_replace("||", "", str_replace("\n", "", htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['msg']))))."\r\n") ;    }

    if ( ($e[0]!=$user && $e[2]=="\r\n") || ( $i<$max && ($e[1]+$remain)>time() && $e[2]!="\r\n") ) fputs($fp, $f[$i]) ;

}

fclose($fp) ;



if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['f1']))

{ 

    $f2 = file($file) ;

If you change the fopen() mode from w to a+, this should place the file pointer at the end of the file for appending.

Change:

PHP Code:

$fp = fopen($file, "w"); 

To:

PHP Code:

$fp = fopen($file, "a+");

This code will allow you to append anywhere in the file.

PHP Code:

 $string = "Message to write to log";

       $filehandle = fopen ("/home/name/sqllogs/phpsqlerr.txt", 'r+');

   fseek ( $filehandle,0, SEEK_END);

   fwrite ( $filehandle, $string."\n" );

   fclose ($filehandle);

You can also try:
$fp = fopen($file, "a");
