Hi,

I have run into another small problem transferring data into an open file.

Basically it's like this:

I have a string of text I would like to insert into another php file at a desired part.
I open the requested file.
I can use fwrite to insert the data, but this overwrites the whole template. (All I want is to add my little string of text into a certain part of the template.)

Example of where I want the string to be inserted:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../elements/css/main.css">
      <title>Template</title>
</head>

<body>   

<div id="wrapper">

      <h1>Heading</h1>      
      
      <?php echo $myString; ?>    <---- HERE
      
</div>

</body>
</html>

Thanks as always,
Keith

you need to create a mark and using str_replace should do the job.

mark on the page

then look for it and replace it with the content from the text file.
