Form that creates a file

Anon

Hi to you all,

I'm trying to do one thing. & I did succed to pull out the data from the form & print it in the browser. But the file is not created in the directory. The problem is cause I'm 100% new to the php world (a Mickey Mouse PHP developer) so I really don't know how can you create files / delate files from a directory. Any ide where can I get that info?!!

Now I wonder if you have a form like this:

<head><title>Your Title</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div align="center">
<form name="file_creator_form" method="post" action="../file_creator.php"><table width="75%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td width="20%">   Insert your Title</td><td width="80%"> <input type="text" name="your_title"></td></tr><tr><td width="20%">  Insert your Comment:</td><td width="80%"><input type="text" name="your_comment"></td></tr><tr><td width="20%">  Insert name of the file:</td>
<td width="80%"><input type="text" name="file_name"></td></tr><tr><td idth="20%"> </td>
<td width="80%"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Create a new file"><input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Clear all fields"></td></tr></table><br>
</form></div></body>

& you would like to create a file that would look like this:

<head><title>Your Title</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div align="center"> <table width="95%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><div align="center">Your Comment Here!</div></td></tr></table></div></body>

Any idea how this can be done?!! Thanks.

Spend some time alone with the PHP manual.
it is brimming over with info about PHP.
if you want to write files: look at fopen().
To delete files: unlink()

But if you can, read the whole manual. It will save you tons of time!

Not only should you read the manual (several times all the way through), you should especially read the commentary in the annotated version:
http://www.php.net/manual/

I have a small example of how to use the file functions for adding notes to a PHP page in the filesystem here:
