Taking your code, reworking it a little, this is what I came up with.
<?php
# Define & collect variables
$biglist = "";
# Input list from form in browser
$list = $_GET['list'];
# Define your source file
$filename = "/usr/local/majordomo/lists/".$edit;
# Check output/input file(s)
!is_file( $filename ) or die("File '{$filename}' does not exist.");
!is_readable( $filename ) or die("I cannot read file '{$filename}'.");
!is_writeable( $filename ) or die("I cannot write to file '{$filename}'.");
# Read file
$file_list = file( $filename );
# Clean up input from file
$file_list = array_map( 'trim', $file_list );
# Clean up input from form in browser
$list = array_map( 'trim', $list );
# Merge the two list together
$merged_list = array_merge( $list, $file_list );
# Sort stuff
sort( $merged_list );
# store the data back into the source file.
if ( file_put_contents( $filename, join(PHP_EOL, $merged_list) ) ) {
$msg = 'Your mailing list has been updated.';
} else {
$msg = 'Your mailing list could not be saved.';
}
# Display message to user
echo "<head><title>Saving Page</title><link rel=stylesheet href=/maillist.css
type=\"text/css\"></head><body>{$msg}</body>";
?>
Hope this helps
