WRITING A FORM INTO A FILE

[Anon]

That\'s me again .. i\'m havin another problem (that one with FOPEN, i realized that i can use INCLUDE instead).

I want to do the following:
One administrator enter in a php3 file, wich has a form. In this form, he types something, and after submiting the form, i want the all the text that he typed be included in one file, wich i will use in another php3.

Example:
FORM.PHP3 has a form. I type \"this is a test\" in this form. After submiting, i want that the \"this is a test\" be write in a file called TEST.INC.

INDEX.PHP3 - My visitor will see this page, and he will se \"this is a test\", wich was included from TEST.INC (using include() ).

Can you please help me ?

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="nextprog.php" >
<TEXTAREA NAME="newdata" ROWS="25" COLS="72"></TEXTAREA>

In nextprog.php

<?php
$tmpfname = tempnam ("/tmp", "FOO");
$fp = fopen($tmpfname,"wb");
$rc = fwrite($fp,$newdata);
if ($rc < 1)
{ print("We have error"); die; }
fclose($fp);
?>

The directory /tmp must be accessable.
And I use a temporary filename here because of the possibility of another user access the same page.

Normally if you want exclusive users, then you open the file with the name you want, and open it read/write. The second user will fail trying to open the file. (In UNIX).
