writing to a txt file

[newbie5050]

hi guys, for a simple project i have to save some form data to a .txt file, using one of the form variables ( #studentid ) as the file name, e.g. if the #studentid submitted was 123 then the file would save as 123.txt.

I have tried a number of different ways to do this but am stuck!!1

any help will be much appreciated!!

Well, post your code and what the problem is. We're not going to write it for you.

Write to a text file:

Create a text file:

A simple code:

 

<?php
$filename = $_POST['filename'];
if(!file_exists($filename . ".txt")){
     $handle = fopen($filename . ".txt", 'w+');
     $content = 'some text here';
     fwrite($handle, $content);
     fclose($handle);
} else{
     echo "The file u want to create already exists";
}
?>

 

It will check if the file exists and if not it will create it with fopen and write some contents.
