Question

I'm working with PHP forms and writing and reading to files.

I have to a "program" that accepts bug reports. Step 1 was to create a form and display list for the submitted data. Step 2 was to validate the data, display the output, and write the output to a text file. Step 3 is to create an actual report with the ability to update it the data. Step 4 is to display the update. I am working on steps 3 & 4.

Step 3 (see "Bug Reports" image below) is done. My data is being read and displayed from my text file and and update option works. However, I need to write the program so that multiple updates can be submitted and displayed overtime. Right now, if you add a new update it overwrites the original. So the second image should actually have an "Update 1: first update" row followed by future updates "Update 2: second update". I know this goes into arrays but the text doesn't really have a good example and I haven't been able to find one online. My code for both files is below.

/////Step 3 code///////
