saving content to a file

I am new to this stuff and lack some basic information. I want users to be able to fill in an EditWorks Professional text area and save the content to a file. (I'd like them to be able to open it later for editing).

Mitchell was kind enough to send me this snippet

<?php

include("class.ewp.php");

$fp = fopen("myfile.html", "rb");
$ewpBox1 = new EWP;

while(!feof($fp))
{
$myData .= fgets($fp, 1024);
}

$ewpBox1->SetValue($myData);

?>

But I don't understand what to do with it.

If I'm not mistaken, by reading the code, that's what is used for reading the existing file and inputting it into the textarea.

So when a user wants to edit their HTML file, you would use this code to open the file for reading, and have it displayed in the EditWorksPro.PHP textarea.

I tried this code as well and can't get anything but ...SetValue($myData); ?> ... as the outcome.

What you do with that piece of code is,
Firstly you need a form with a submit button,

something like this

<?php

include("class.ewp.php");

$myEWP = new EWP;

if(@$_POST["show"] == "")
{
// Show the HTML form
?>
<form action= "test.php" method= "post">
<input type= "hidden" name= "show" value="1">
<?php $myEWP->ShowControl(400, 300, "myimagedir"); ?>
<input type= "submit" value= "Post It >>">
</form>
<?php
}


ok you have something like this right! that will display the editor

then if you want to save it as a file paste this in after it

else
{
$fp = fopen("myfile.html", "rb");

while(!feof($fp))
{
$myData .= fgets($fp, 1024);
}

$ewpBox1->SetValue($myData);
}
?>

that will save any data to the file myfile.html

I hope that helps and sorry for the late reply
