HTML form to txt file

Jen199

Hi,

I am trying to write some pages for my department in work. While I can find my way around HTML - haven't really used asp, php etc.

I want to write a form that posts to a text file or csv file. Is this possible? Could any one give me a sample of the code.

I could do this in asp with an access database but i've just discovered the server can handle sql and php but not asp and so it won't work and I have to use this server. I just need something simple that works. I can't have it coming to my email so a text file would be ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See here and here for examples of file handling

Here's an example of opening a file to append data, assumes POSTed data
exists and has been validated

[php]
<?php

// Open the file in append mode - create it if it doesn't exist
$fp = fopen("textfile_name.txt", "a");

// Write form_field_1 plus newline to file

fwrite($fp, $_POST . "\r\n");

// Write form_field_2 plus newline to file

fwrite($fp, $_POST . "\r\n");
// Close the file
fclose($fp);

?>
[/php]
