oliverj777 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello, I would like to know how to save data that has been placed within a text field into a .txt file in a particular destination on my server. Basically: User inputs data into text field (eg, the word "HELLO") Clicks submit The data is then saved into a .txt file. So the word "HELLO" is saved within the .txt (the name of the .txt is not important, it can be any name) --OR-- The name of the .txt file is called "HELLO" (so the data is saved AS the files name) Either one works well for me ... As long as I can somehow get PHP to 'echo' the saved data later on (if you can help me with that too ) I would really appreciate if anyone can help me, Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209026-php-saving-text-field-as-txt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Look into file_put_contents and file_get_contents, along with the examples in the manual it's pretty self-explanatory.
