Using PHP to write info from HTML form to file

[Anon]

How can PHP be used to take information from an HTML form and write it to a file? For example - to create a guestbook, a file creating order information, etc. If there is a good online resource that explains how to do this, please point me to it. I'm new to PHP - thanks for your help.

Working with files is pretty simple in PHP. A simple example of writing to a file is below.

<?php
$fp = @fopen("file.txt","w");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
?>

In this example, the contents of the variable $data are being written to the file. You need to make sure that your webserver has permissions to write to this file or it will fail.

For more details, check out the filesystem section in the PHP manual.
