I have a flash animation I made that loads its information from a text file. The purpose is to display news on my site. I wish to be able to make a PHP form that makes a new "Post" to the text file.

Everything is located at http://bxcheats.togetherhost.com/

First you need to make sure the text file is CHMOD'ed to permission 777 to allow for reading, writing, and executing. Then write a PHP script such as this:

<?php
if($_POST[author]&&$_POST[message]&&$_POST[title])
{
$time = date("r");
$filename = "http://www.somedomain.com/textfile.txt";
$newspost = "Author: $_POST[author]\nDate: $time\nTitle: $_POST[title]\nMessage: $_POST[message]\n\n";
if (is_writable($filename))
{
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a'))
{
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
if (fwrite($handle, $newspost) === FALSE)
{
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
echo "Success, wrote <i>\n$newspost\n</i> to file <i>$filename</i>";
fclose($handle);
}
else
{
echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
}
else
{
echo "<form action=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\" method=\"post\">
Author: <input type=\"text\" name=\"author\"><br>
Title: <input type=\"text\" name=\"title\"><br>
Message: <textarea name=\"message\"></textarea><br><br>
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Post News\">";
}
?>

You may have to test this a few times as I am not sure if it works or not.

What about the image?

And I change the permissions to 777 and I still get "The file http://bxcheats.togetherhost.com/news.txt is not writable".

I have a flash animation I made that loads its information from a text file. The purpose is to display news on my site. I have the flash file and the location of the text file below. I have set CHMOD value to 777 on the text file.

The flash file has a title and message text areas, I want a PHP script that posts an image I specify off my server, the author name, the time then the message. I want to keep the existing news and put the new news I post with the PHP form above the old news.

Everything is located at http://bxcheats.togetherhost.com/ and the flash file is on the homepage.

You said nothing about an image...and that is the best I can do...I dont feel like writing a long script without some sort of payment.
