snowman15 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm pretty new at php but please give me as much feedback as possible. What I'm trying to create: as part of a learning experience, I'm trying to create a page(text.html) with a form that you can type in a string and then press submit. This submit button uses text2.php to take the string and change testing.txt to whatever the string was. Then i want it to print out whatever testing.txt IS (after it was changed by the form) Heres what i have, text.html <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form action="text2.php" method="post"> <label for="words">words:</label> <input name="words" type="text" /> <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"/> </body> </html> text2.php <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <?php $myFile = "testing.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = $_GET["words"]; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); myFile = "testing.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r') or die("can't open file"); $theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile)); echo $theData; fclose($fh); ?> </body> </html> Can someone please help me understand what I'm doing .
