2 Questions: Using a form to create a HTML file. | phpBBCode file.

[DanielWhite]

First of all I would like to ask if anyone knows how I can use a form to create a PHP file.

 

For example. User inputs text into HTML based form and then clicks submit. The data then gets saved inside a newly created PHP file.

 

Anyone know how to?

 

 

My second question is, does anyone know where I can get a hold of the file for phpBBcode so that I can use BB codes on my php pages. I looked on Google and all the download sites get errors.

 

Thank you,

Daniel White

1.) The file system functions such as fwrite and fread will be needed: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php

Here's a quick way to create a file:

<?php
//Create the file mck.php
$handle = fopen('mck.php', 'w+');
//Write some text
fwrite($handle, "Hmm, there's no PHP here!", 25);
//Close the file
fclose($handle);
?>
