Writing to a file. (PHP)

[Nasimov]

It's possible to ammend data within a file vs. just adding data to the beginning or the end of the file? Mean to change something in the "middle" of the file.

Thanks.

It would appear not, Random File Access is becoming un-supported.. a complete list is at the bottom of the page for what's available...

It would be possible with a certain set up of a while loop, however it is slow and impractical. (But I have done it and it does work).

The idea is, that you would be using a database for any data that would have to have those functions asserted to it, I suppose.
