I couldn't get this to work. Here is my complete script:
<? function WriteToFile ($URL, $Description) { $file = "bonzai.txt"; $open = fopen ($file, "a"); if ($open) { fwrite ($open, "$URL\t$Description\n"); fclose ($open); $Worked = TRUE ; } else { $Worked = FALSE; } return $Worked; } function ReadFromFile() { $file = "bonzai.txt"; $open = fopen ($file, "r"); if ($open) { print ("URLs currently listed in the data file:<P>\n"); $data = file ($file); for ($n = 0; $n < count($data); $n++) { $GetLine = explode("|", $data[$n]); print ("$GetLine[0]<p>\n"); } fclose ($open); print ("<hr><P>\n"); } else { print ("Unable to read from bonzai.txt!<BR>\n"); } } ReadFromFile(); ?> It gives me some error. I'm still pretty new to php, so I still need to learn all of this.
