I write to a file with fwrite. I do it with wordwrap (which I now think is
unnecessary). In the text area that it appears, it is left adjusted.
Anyway, the command is:

$message = wordwrap($_POST['Message'], 70);

where Message is the name of the text field.

Now when I go to read it, I use fread. The command is:

$message = fread($handle, 5000);

and I put in the text area of the read form:

<textarea name="Message" cols="70" rows="15" readonly="readonly">
<?php echo wordwrap($message, 70); ?></textarea>

Here is the problem. There are about 15 spaces or so before the first bit
of text. After that, everything is fine. It wordwraps fine and does new
paragraphs. I cannot seem to find where those initial spaces entered the
picture.
