Writing data to a .txt file

[awert]

Hey im making a site which allows the user to type in their e-mail address and send it to my "emails.txt" file. Its not really working though...It seems like everything is right but it doesnt add it: Heres part of the code for the site:

method=get then action=next.php" name="theForm" id="theForm">

 

and this is the whole next.php:

<?php
header("my url ");
$handle =

fopen("emails.txt", "a");
foreach($_GET as

$variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle,

$variable);
fwrite($handle, "=");


fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle,

"\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>

 

Im pretty new to php so if you could help it would be great

 

Thanks in advance

this should do for flat file

<?php
if(!empty($_GET)){
$handle = fopen("emails.txt", "a");
foreach($_GET as $key => $value) {
	$tempstring = $key."=".$value."\n";
	fwrite($handle,$tempstring);
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>

 

I think you are bloating the data you are putting in sine the key is always the same,  should just be $tempstring = $value."\n"; but its your method
