PHP save to .txt file

JasperHope · April 18, 2010

Hey guys. I'm creating a textbox which saves its content into a .txt. Then the HTML will read it and place it onto a div.

This is the code I'm using for the write part:

<? 
$content = $_POST['content']; 
$file = "../blog/file.txt"; 
$Saved_File = fopen($file, 'w'); 
fwrite($Saved_File, $content); 
fclose($file); 
?>

It works great! However, it saves it raw. Meaning no HTML tags. For example:

Test

Would want to be saved as

Test<br/>

And so on.

So is it possible to insert these tags automatically? I have a basic BBCode PHP mod type thing that will convert BBCode tags into HTML. Here is the code for that:
