hi,

I pieced together the script below from various tutorials, examples, etc...

Right now the script currently:

  • Saves Id, Name, Url with a "|" delimiter to a text file Db like:

1|John|http://www.john.com| 2|Mark|http://www.mark.com| 3|Fred|http://www.fred.com|

But I'm having a hard time trying to make the "UPDATE" and "DELETE" buttons work.

Can someone please post code which will:

  • let me update/save any changed data for that row (for UPDATE button)
  • let me delete that row (for DELETE button)

PLEASE copy n paste the code below and try for yourself. I would like to keep the output format of the script below too.

thanks D-


$file = "data.txt"; $name = $_POST['name']; $url = $_POST['url'];

$data = file('data.txt'); $i = 1; foreach ($data as $line) { $line = explode('|', $line); $i++; }

if (isset($_POST['submits'])) { $fp = fopen($file, "a+"); fwrite($fp, $i."|".$name."|".$url."|\n"); fclose($fp); }

?>



'); } ?>
