That is pretty easy. To add info into a database set up your form to post the information to a php script. In that php script use $_POST['input value name'] to get the information.

Look here www.w3schools.com/php for some help. Put together some scripts. If you need help then just ask.

Well you have all that information going to welcome.php. In there set up the file create. Read that link i sent you

http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/file_write_php.htm is's a tutorial. You should be able to follow and create what you want.

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Thanks for reply!!

But in which file the code should be placed.

IS in welcome.php??

adam291086 · January 9, 2008

At the moment your form is set to send all information to welcome.php

><form method="post" action="welcome.php">

the action part indicates where the information is sent to.

First step look into $_POST of w3schools.com/php. In welcome.php get all the variable outputted to the screen. Then show me the code and I'll help you with the next step.

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Thanks for refering me this link http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/file_write_php.htm

Bcoz i was trying to do this thing from last two days and i tried with few tutorials but not able to do

So thanks again Dude

Best regards,

Nj

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

hey Bro One question

the txt file is being changed each time i fill the form

Can you help me again

adam291086 · January 9, 2008

Show me the script. Do you want a new text file for every person who fills in the form?

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Thanks for reply!!

here is the code which i used for this

<?php 
$File = "YourFile.txt"; 
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
?>
<?php 
$File = "YourFile.txt"; 
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
fwrite($Handle, $content); 
print "Data Written"; 
fclose($Handle); 
?>

regards

Nj

To save all your variables to a file it should be

$strFile = "data.txt";

$strContent = "\n\n-----------------------------------\n";

foreach ($_POST as $strKey as $strValue)
{
        $strContent .= "$strKey = $strValue\n";
}

file_put_contents($strFile,$strContent,FILE_APPEND);

something like that... it will only work in PHP 5

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Thanks for reply!!

Is this code will save every submisson of form data in a new txt file??

Regards

Nj

adam291086 · January 9, 2008

no it won't you need to set

$strFile = "data.txt";

To be something unique everytime. At the momement everytime you run the script it will create a data.txt file and add in the information to it if it already exists

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Thanks!!

So is it possible to hav a new txt file for every form submission

Regards,

Nj

rajivgonsalves · January 9, 2008

first I must ask why you want to save the information to a text file... I not gone through the full post... so if you mentioned it somewhere please forgive me... is it just for loggin purpose ?

adam291086 · January 9, 2008

You need a way to make

$strFile = "data.txt";

unique everytime the script runs. It doesn't have to be data.txt. It could be a variable

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

Not to be sry

naveenbj · January 9, 2008

$strFile = "data.txt";

Still not gettng sry

adam291086 · January 9, 2008

ok

at the moment using the script by rajivgonsalves

$strFile = "data.txt";

$strContent = "\n\n-----------------------------------\n";

foreach ($_POST as $strKey as $strValue)
{
        $strContent .= "$strKey = $strValue\n";
}

file_put_contents($strFile,$strContent,FILE_APPEND);

If the file data.txt does exist then it takes all the form information and adds it to the file. If you change data.txt too data1.txt then that information will be changed. Therefore you need away to change data.txt everytime the script run.

is this script is right??
