right so the plan is to teach myself php and i though it was going well i seamed to be picking it up but have come up against a brick wall with this script.

The script is aimed to use a txt file like a database for a clan site. This is the submit section after we have played a match but i cant seam to get it to write to a file. The data then will be retreived again and posted on teh site through some more code which i am yet to write. It has to be txt as our host does not support mysql and such.

So all help is appreciated ...

So far have for the form page

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]</head>

<body>

<form name="form" method="post" action="submit.php">

<p>Type of match - Friendly, league, last minute or mess around </p>

<p>

<input type="text" name="textfield4">

</p>

<p>Opponents </p>

<p>

<input type="text" name="clan">

</p>

<p>Score</p>

<p>

<input type="text" name="score">

</p>

<p>Man of match</p>

<p>

<input type="text" name="manofmatch">

</p>

<p>Write up</p>

<p>

<textarea name="writeup"></textarea>

</p>

<p>  </p>

<p>

<Input type="submit" name="submit" value="Wee" type="button">

</p>

</form>

</body>

</html>

[/quote]

then for submit.php have

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]<? php
$type=$_POST['form'];
$Clan = $_REQUEST['clan'];
$score = $_POST['score'];
$manofmatch = $_POST['manofmatch'];
$writeup = $_POST['writeup'];

$fp = fopen("results.txt","a");

if(!$fp) {

print "error! The file could not be opened";

exit;

}

$stringtowrite=$Clan."|".$score."|".$manofmatch."|".$writeup."|".$type;

fwrite($fp, $stringtowrite);

fclose(fp);

Print "$clan" // this was an attempt to see if script was running it didnt print anything

?>

Done[/quote]

so how far wrong am i?

any help is appreciated and i am really sorry if i have made a big error as i have tried my best to use google to find me a solution to this but cant find anythin and its doing my head in.

First, your test didn't work because:

Print "$clan";

because it is spelled $Clan when you made it...
