1. State save the text in some way.

2. Echo it out into the text area, and show button below it.

3. When button is clicked, call another file and access the state saved text data.  Use this to generate the downloadable file, and pass proper headers for download.

Thanks! I get the idea, by looking at your URL:

 

$ourFileName = "testFile.txt";

$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

fclose($ourFileHandle);

 

Where should I input the textarea's text?? I am not that good with this, please help!
