After the call to fwrite add a call to rewind($fp) . After the fwrite the file pointer is at the end of the temp stream. If you call rewind it resets it to the beginning.
Here's a quick proof from a PHP session.
Possibly it's because, after writing to $fp the file handle's pointer is pointing at the end of the file. Have you tried rewinding it first?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
