PHP - Saving Text Field as .txt

[oliverj777]

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

Look into file_put_contents and file_get_contents, along with the examples in the manual it's pretty self-explanatory.

Okay,

 

I just struggle with trying to use the input text field to _POST to the file_put_contact.

:confused:

file_put_contents('filename.txt', $_POST['fieldname']);
