PHP form processing help!

[jin_10]

Hey,

I have a html form ready. What I want to do is the form to save a seperate html file for each submission with the filename to have the name field value and date field value.

For e.g.

the form has fields for Date, Name and comments.

 

let say jack submits form today then the filename would be '20081010_jack.html'

 

and when george submits the form then the filename would be '20081010_george.html'

 

Thanks in advance for your time.

This is about as basic as I can make an example.  Make sure the directory it's in allows writing of files.

 

form.php

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['name']) && strlen($_POST['name'])>0){
        $file=$_POST['date'].'_'.$_POST['name'].'.html';
        $handle=fopen($file, "w");
        fwrite($handle, $_POST['comments']);
        fclose($handle);
    }
?>
<form action="form.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="date">
<textarea name="comments"></textarea>

Thanks for your quick reply. Say if I change 'w' to 'a' in this command $handle=fopen($file, "w"); and then if two guys with same name post on the same day will it append in the file.
