php/flash mailing list (solution should be easy)

I am using a mailing list that works great. The php writes to a text file on my server and im able to open the text file and read the submitted content.

HOWEVER, Everytime I submit content, the php just replaces/rewrites info in the text file instead of adding to it. The solution should be rather easy but I cant find it anywhere.

Actionscript:

Code:

---

function saveText() {
        // create your VAR OBJECT
        sendText = new LoadVars();
       
    // Format variables for PHP
        sendText.nameData = "&nameData="+_root.nameData;
        sendText.emailData = "&emailData="+_root.emailData;
        sendText.newFileName = "text1.txt";
       
    //tell our script what to do WHEN/IF everything goes ok.
        sendText.onLoad = function(success) {
                if (success) {
                        //response is the variableName echo'd in the PHP file.
                        _root.saveResponse = sendText.response;
                        _root.response_txt.text = sendText.response
                }
    };       
    //finally call the PHP the script
        sendText.sendAndLoad("savedData/saveMyText.php", sendText, POST);
}

---

Button code:

Code:

---

on (release) {
        _root.nameData = textField1.text;
        _root.emailData = textField2.text;
        _root.saveText(); //function that does sendAndLoad for vars.
}

---

PHP:

Code:

---

<?php

$newFileName=$_POST["newFileName"];  //Folder HAS to have CHMOD permissions of 777

$nameData=$_POST["nameData"];

$fp = fopen ("text1", "w");

if($fp)
{  fwrite($fp,stripslashes("$nameData\n$emailData"));  // check to see if open was ok.
  fclose($fp);
  echo ("&response=Successfully!");
} else {
echo ("&response=Unsuccessfully!");
}

?>

Hi,

in the php it is as simple as
$fp = fopen ("text1", "a");

Depending on how you want to use this, it might be better to change the flash to omit these parts "&nameData="+ and perhaps find a different layout for the text file too. In any case, you cannot really read it back into flash with multiple "&nameData=" entries ... you would only get the last
