Ok, I have been working on this for awhile and cannot seem to get the fwrite function to work. Here is the code: \\ index.php <?php $file_name = 'blank.php'; $open_file = fopen("$file_name","rw"); if (!$open_file) { die("cannot open $file_name"); } else { $read_file = fread($open_file, filesize($file_name)); $strip_php = eregi_replace("<","&a&", $read_file); fclose($open_file); } ?> <form name="edit_passwords" method="post" action="edit_passwords.php"> <textarea name="passwords" cols="60" rows="7"><?php echo $strip_php; ?></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" name="save" value="save"> </form> This works as I need it to, opens the file and then removes the first < so that it won't be parsed as a php script. \\ edit_passwords.php <?php if (!$passwords) { header ("Location: index.php"); } else { $file_name= "blank.php"; $file_open = fopen($file_name, "rw"); fwrite($file_open, $passwords); print ("$passwords was written to $file_name"); } ?> I have read and write permissions set on the file and the directory. It will not write changes to the file. Any pointers? Jas
