CGI/PERL:

open(FILE, "data/newsdata.cgi");
@newsdata = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

($postnum, $trash, $trash, $trash, $trash, $trash, $trash) = split(/|/, $newsdata[0]);
$postnum = "$postnum" + "1";

unshift(@newsdata, "$postnum|$title|$fullname|$email|$time|$date|$news");

open(FILE, ">data/newsdata.cgi");
flock(FILE, 2);
foreach $message (@newsdata) {

chomp $message;
print FILE "$message\n";

}
close(FILE);

Scav, sorry to disappoint but I did see it the firs time, however I have 0 programming skills and hence can't help you...I post this so that you don't think your being ignored. Hopes someone helps you if they can

Sorry, I don't have the skillz either, Scav.

I did look over the code though, and you may try changing this :

$postnum = "$postnum" + "1";

to this:

$postnum = "$postnum" + "01";

This is only and uneducated guess. :p
