writing to a text document

[ball420]

i would like to have user input saved as a txt file or html to the server instead of emailing the info to me anyone know of any good examples to follow or tutorials ect. thanks again for the replies

This code snippet assumes the input is in a form:

<?php
$mode = file_exists('user_input.txt')?'a':'w'; // append if file exists otherwise create it
$fp = fopen('user_input.txt',$mode);  // open file
fwrite($fp,print_r($_POST,true)."\r\n");  // dump the contents of the $_POST array to the file
fclose($fp);
?>

have you thought of saving the entries to a database? personaly I find it a lot easier to handle data that way
