hey everyone,

im new to php and have been playing with some script for hours. I have a news system, which when i add news, it updates the site. As I want the news to be displayed on the homepage it needs to fit in. at the moment the script is taking the template page, and adding the news for the first page only. after that it is copying the whole page again below for every news that i add. I hope someone can help me!!!
Here is the part of the script i think is going wrong

function add_article($filename, $news)
{
if(file_exists($filename)){
$fh = fopen($filename, "r");
$old_news = fread($fh, filesize($filename));
fclose($fh);
}

$fh = fopen($filename, "w");
$news = stripslashes($news);
fwrite($fh, "\n<!--ARTICLE-->\n$news $old_news");
fclose($fh);
}

please help me somebody

here are all of the source files if anybody cares to look at them

I did something different to give same results. I add all news articles to database. I then hit a page that I created to read db, and write the news feed rss/xml. I also created a second page that reads the same db info to display to my readers on the site.
