phpcode Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm trying to create a contact form but I'm stuck on this: <?php $file = fopen("contact.txt", "a+"); foreach($_POST as $key => $value); fwrite($file, $value. "\n\n===========================\n\n"); fclose($file); ?> What I want it to do is get all the forms field names and what the user entered into them and write it to the contact file but it only shows me the last field name. I've tried putting the foreach() in fwrite() but that just gives me an error. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90488-post-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 when you set the name that will be your post variable here is an example: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <input name="name" type="text" id="name" /> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <?php $name = $_POST['name']; echo $name; ?> Instead of writing it to a file, you should do a database!

play_ Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You're not even running a loop there <?php $file = fopen("contact.txt", "a+"); foreach($_POST as $key => $value) { fwrite($file, $value. "\n\n===========================\n\n"); } fclose($file); ?> This is an odd way of doing contact forms. Keep in mind that the button is also a $_POST. so that's gonna show up on your file.

aebstract Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Why do you have random field names? Just curious about this, since it's just a contact form and all. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90488-post-help/#findComment-463942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
