Help With Saving Form Data

[CeEe4]

Hi, i am having trouble saving the data entered in my HTML form into .txt format.

 

Here is my crappy HTML form

 

<div id="apDiv3"><h2 class="style3">About you</h2>
  <p>
<form action="write.php" method="get">
<table>
<tr><td><span class="style3">What is you name:</span></td><td><input name="Name" type="text" /></td></tr>
<tr><td height="26"><span class="style3">favourite Color:</span></td><td align="right">
  Blue :
    <input type="radio" value="Blue" name="col">
    :<br />
    Red :
    <input type="radio" value="Red" name="col">
    :<br />
    Green:
    <input type="radio" value="Green" name="col">
    :<br />
  </td>
<tr><td><span class="style3">Phone No.:</span></td><td><input name="phone" type="text" /></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input name="Start" type="Submit" id="Start" value="Start" /></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>

 

what i need is a php file to save the data entered in the form to a .txt file. if had a go at one here, but like the HTML form i think its not very good..

 

<?php
$Name = $_POST['Name'];
$Name = $_POST['col'];
$Name = $_POST['phone'];
$fp = fopen("output.txt","a+") or exit("unable to open the file");
if($fp != null)
{
fwrite($fp,$Name);
fwrite($fp,$col);
fwrite($fp,$phone);
}
fclose($fp);

?> 

 

i could do with some help..

The strings you used to get the information from the form may be the problem!

<?php

$Name = $_POST['Name'];

$Name = $_POST['col'];

$Name = $_POST['phone'];

$fp = fopen("output.txt","a+") or exit("unable to open the file");

if($fp != null)

{

fwrite($fp,$Name);

fwrite($fp,$col);

fwrite($fp,$phone);

}

fclose($fp);

 

Try this:

 

<?php

// Get Information From Form

$Name = $_POST['Name'];

$Col = $_POST['col'];

$Phone = $_POST['phone'];

$myfile = "output.txt"

$fh = fopen($myfile,'a+');

  if(!$fh) {

  die("couldn't open file <i>$myfile</i>");

  }

  else {

  $str.= " $Name\r\n"; 

  $str.= " $Col\r\n";

  $str.= " $Phone\r\n";

  fwrite($fh, $str);

  }

  fclose($fh);

}

 

GOOD LUCK!

Also you need to do this.

 

From

<form action="write.php" method="get">

 

To

<form action="write.php" method="post">

 

Enjoy!!!

You're correct.  I didn't notice METHOD="GET"

 

I wonder if it worked????
