[SOLVED] whats wrong with form?

[ohdang888]

<form method="post">

E-Mail:<input type="text" name="Your E-mail" value="email"/>

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>

<form>

 

 

<?php

$email= $_POST["email"];

$emailfile = "../test.txt";

$FH = fopen($emailfile, 'a') or die("can't open file");

fwrite($FH,$email);

fclose($FH);?>

 

 

it was worknig earlier, then i was an idiot and fooled around with the code and can't remember how i had it. lol.

the test.txt file is located 1 directory back.(thats why i have ../test.txt)

Shouldn't forms have actions?

[trq]

This....

 

E-Mail:<input type="text" name="Your E-mail" value="email"/>

 

should be....

 

E-Mail:<input type="text" name="email"/>

[trq]

Your php should check the form was actually submitted also.

[ohdang888]

how do i do that????????

 

and the

 

E-Mail:<input type="text" name="email"/>

didn't work

[trq]

<?php

  if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {?>
<form method="post">
E-Mail:<input type="text" name="email"/> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
<form>
<?php
} else {
  $email = $_POST["email"]; 
  $emailfile = "../test.txt";
  $FH = fopen($emailfile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
  fwrite($FH,$email);
  fclose($FH);
}

?>

what does this mean???\

 

if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {?>

[dewey_witt]

if(!isset($_POST[''submit])) { <=== that means if there was no post made for the button submit.

 

 

} else { <===this seys that if it has been posted do something else.

 

 

}  <====finaly this ends the whole if statment

ONE MORE QUESTION

 

i want to add a comma after each e-mail, so i wrote

 

fwrite($FH,,) after the write e-mail code.

 

its giving me a "parse error, unexpected ",""

 

[trq]

fwrite($FH,$email . ',');
