.txt news system.. needs edit and delete

1

hi guys,

i made a week ago a little news system with a little help from a friend… but i missed somthing, a edit and delete news item function… but now if i think about it… is that even posible??? i mean its a news system that uses NO MySql but a TXT document…

I used a simple $fp = fopen function to read the new items with a array() and foreach to view my items… it has filters to remove or alert user and there is a simple login system… it works fine…

is it even posible… here is the script:


<?
if($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']) {
    if($HTTP_POST_VARS['password'] == 'test') { //* verander passwoord *//
	}
	 if($HTTP_POST_VARS['login'] == 'tester') { //* verander login *//
        if(!$HTTP_POST_VARS['news']) {
            echo "Error.. er is geen nieuws item ingevult..";
            exit;
        }
        if(strstr($HTTP_POST_VARS['news'],"|")) {
            echo "Error.. "|" het "pipe symbool" is niet toegestaan in DB.. verwijder deze..";
            exit;
        }
		if(strstr($HTTP_POST_VARS['news'],"<")) {
            echo "Error.. HTML is niet tegestaan in DB... verwijder deze "Tags < "..";
            exit;
        }
        $fp = fopen('news.txt','a');
        if(!$fp) {
            echo "Error.. DB niet aanwezig.. of DB niet CHMOD 777.."></form><br>";
            exit;
        }
        $line = date("m-d-y") . "&nbsp;" . date("H:i") . "&nbsp;" . "|" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['name']; //* datum en tijd *//
        $line .= "|" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['news'];
        $line = str_replace("
","<BR>",$line);
        $line .= "
";
		
		//* sluiten bestand *//
        fwrite($fp, $line);
        if(!fclose($fp)) {
	        echo "Error.. kan DB niet sluiten..";
            exit;
        }        
    } else {
        echo "Error.. pasword niet ingevult..";
		exit;
    }
}

?>

This part is used to view the news items with (can be disabled) a function to show only the last added news line in the DB…


<?

//*leest db in html en plaats *//
$data = file('news.txt');
$data = array_reverse($data);

//* uit voor meer info *//
//$no = 1; 

foreach($data as $element) {
    $element = trim($element);
    $pieces = explode("|", $element);

	//* uit voor meer info *//
	//if ($no == 1) {

//* $pieces[?] 1=image 0=datum 2=nieuws *//
echo "<table width=\"40%\" border=\"0\"><tr>";
echo "<td><font class=\"main_tekst\">" . " Datum:&nbsp; " . $pieces[0] . "<br>" . " Nieuws:&nbsp; " . $pieces[2] . "<BR><hr align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\"></td>";
echo "</font></tr></table>";
}

//* uit voor meer info *//
//$no ++; 
//}

?>

I made this script from scratch so if there are posible section that canbe modified please let me know… im not realy a wizz with PHP…

thank you for you time… let me know…
