Pardon the simple question, but I have just begun to learn PHP. So far so
good - all the examples in my books actually work.

One thing that none of them address is how to read a file of strings (like
names or URLs or whatever) into something so that they can be deleted,
modified or a new one added. In a language like Perl/TK or Delphi a
listbox is used if you want to edit line by line or a memo box if you want
to edit like you are in Kwrite.

All the examples assume that I want to enter data into a Text area or
Listbox by keyboard, then read it back in. Never the other way around. I
can use a Fget routine and read the file to the screen, but not to
anything in which I can edit yet.

So far I have learned a ton of stuff trying, but haven't made it work yet.

Should I be reading the data into a Textarea, a Listbox or something else?

Anybody got a short example.

Thanks
Konan
