Hey, I heard it around before so I know it's possible.. I want to create a form where as the data is submitted it will be logged into a .txt file. The only thing is I can't find anyway on the internet to do this. Know how?

All help would be greatful, Thanks

it's going to have to be done via php not really html so make sure your webserver has php installed. I'm going to assume you don't have any knowledge of php at this point I'll give you a simple example here but you'll have to modify it to fit your needs.

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<body>
<form action = "<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="msg"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
 
<? php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$msg= $_POST['msg'];
    $fp = fopen("./file.txt");
    fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));
    fclose($fp);
}
?>
 
hope this helps
