newbie coding help please

Anon

Ok, here's the code i have for sending registration form to my email. I got it from a script and i know it's not too clean...

Anywho, I was wondering, how I could make it also post this information into a .php in columns aswell as sending to my email..?

Thanks!

$MailTo = ""; //recipient of the form results
$MailSubject = "Registration!"; //text in the Subject field of the mail
$MailHeader = "From:"; //text in the From field of the mail

$Envoi = 1; //give value 1 to the variable $Envoi

if ($disc == "") {
echo("You have not read and agreed to the disclaimer, please do so! ");
$Envoi = 0;
}
else {
$MailBody = "Disclaimer: $disc\n";
}
if ($champ1 == ""){ //name of field 1
echo("Error! Please enter your name. "); //message to be displayed if the field is left empty
$Envoi = 0; //if field 1 is empty, variable $Envoi takes value 0
}
else {
$MailBody = "Name: $champ1\n"; //if field 1 has been completed, value is inserted in variable MailBody
}
if (!isset($champ2)){
echo("You forgot to complete the handle field. ");
$Envoi = 0;
} else {
$MailBody .= "Handle: $champ2\n";
if (isset($champ3))
$MailBody .= "ICQ #: $champ3\n";
}
if (!isset($champ4)){
echo("You forgot to complete the email field ");
$Envoi = 0;
} else {
$MailBody .= "Email Address: $champ4\n";
if (isset($champ5))
$MailBody .= "Certainty: $champ5\n";
$MailBody .= "Comments: $champ6\n";
}
//Routine for checkboxes

 $MailBody .="Competitions : ";

$items = 5; //initiate possible # of items

for ($i = 1; $i <= $items; $i++) { //loop on # of items

 $MailBody .= "$champ8[$i], ";  //put results in variable MailBody

}

//Routine to send message

if ($Envoi == 1) { //Check that variable $Envoi has value 1
mail($MailTo, $MailSubject, $MailBody, $MailHeader); //message send
echo("Your Registration has been sent. Thankyou. Click <a href=***>here</a> to go back."); //Confirmation message.
}
?>

Are you talking about saving data into a .php file? So the result would get stuffed into a file.

Yer... i dont have a MySQL DB... so pretty much it'll be using a text DB...

what information do you want stored in the .php file?

Anon

Nickname (which is link to their email)
Then their icq in another column

Anon

i dunno how to do it but i want it so it adds

| Player | ICQ |
|___________________________|_____|
|<a href="$champ4">$champ2</a> |$champ3 |
| | |
| | |
|________________________|________|

and so whenever someone submits, they get added to the list...

Thx

look at these functions:

implode, fopen, fwrite, fclose for file output
file, explode for file input

basically, in order to insert an entry into the text file:

make an array where
$data[0] = "<a href==\"$champ4\">$champ2</a>";
$data[1] = $champ3;

implode this to a line, separated by a delimiter that doesn't appear in the data, e.g. ;
$line = implode(';', $data)."\n";

read in the file
$olddata = file('something.txt');

append the new line
array_push($olddata, $line);

tie together the old and the new lines into a string:
$complete = implode('', $olddata);

write it using fopen - fwrite - fclose.

note these are very basic instructions that don't include checking whether there's already an entry for that user in your text file. take it as a start.
