About the saveToWeb hack
Nov 28th, 2009, 5:51pm  
Hey everyone:

I'm using the saveToWeb hack but I have a question about it:

Instead of creating a new file if the previous one exists, I would like to append values to the existing file.

For example, let's say I have an array of floats, and I'm adding 1 float every second, and now I want these values to be added to a .txt file -no matter the speed rate to be added to the file-, but what saveToWeb actually does is creating another file is the previous one exists.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

In your case, the saveToWeb is overkill.
You can just open a GET URL, ie. load something like: http://example.com/sketch/save.php?val=3.1415926
Thus the save.php script will get the float value and will do the job of appending it to the file.

You are right!
I modified the way using PHP persistence tutorial in learningprocessing.org and everything is easier.

Thanks a lot!
