Read/Write variables

[Anon]

I know it is simple, but I am a newbie.

Does anyone have an example on how to save variables and how to read that saved file to restore the variables?

I have a script that takes some data it recieves from a form:

$data
$name
$url

I want it to save it to a file.

Then I need a way for another script to read that data file and have the variables
$data
$name
$url

to work with.

Go to hotscripts.com and look under the PHP Tutorials section for Acessing files. You can't save a variable like you want to but you can save it in a list and then reaccess it by feeding it into an array or using Regex to grab what you need.

I only found how to save and retrieve one variable per file. How can I do it so that all the variables are saved into 1 file?

You should do them on a per line basis where you put each variable on a seperate line. Then read it and split it where it finds newline characters with regular expressions. This way you can put each one you need into an array of one or give each there own variable. You are going to have to keep track of what is keep where though. I highly recommend a database if you get a lot of data that is to organize.
