Bold parts are the changed parts.

I also added my other suggestion about your add to top of the file problem, the fseek will put the pointer at the start of the file.

EDIT: However, I'm not sure how fwrite writes the string to it, if it will overwrite what is already there or it will add it before the rest, I actually think it's the first, so it might not be that helpful , but the strip_tags are unaffected, so you can still copy that part

EDIT2: Indeed I was right, there is no prepend mode, so with fseek the contents will be overwritten, nevermind that then, just use the other suggestions about the prepending.
