Write to txt file

[Joe_Millionare]

Hello. I am a newbie. I know nothing about databases- but I am trying hard to catch up.

All I need is 1 simple script to work! (I've tried free scripts, but they're still too complicated for me!)

I want a couple forms and a button. You fill out the form, press the button, and have it write to a txt file in my database.

I am hosted on geocites, have the php 4.1, mySQL, all that good stuff.

Does anyone have any simple suggestions? The forms are below, all I need is the PHP to make it work.

<form name="mailform" method="post" action="C:\WINNT\Profiles\ws1852\Desktop\trial.cgi">
<table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center">
<tr> <td align="right" width="37%"><b>Name:</b></td>
<td width="63%">
<input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="45">
<input type="hidden" name="account" value="3">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><b>Email Address:</b></td>
<td width="65%">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress" size="30" maxlength="45">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="3">
<input type="submit" value="SEND ME A TRIAL VERSION!">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

WRITING:

<?
$filename="data.txt";

if(!($myfile = fopen($filename, "w")))
{
print("Error: ");
print(" '$filename' could not be created \n");
exit;
}

//write some lines
fputs($myfile, "Save this:");
fputs($myfile, "Hello Human!");

//close file
fclose($myfile);
?>

READING:

<?

if(!($myfile = fopen($filename, "r")))
{
print("Error: ");
print(" '$filename' could not be created \n");
exit;
}

while(!feof($myfile))
{
//read line from file
$myline = fgets($myfile, 255); // selects line 255

 print("$myline \n");

}

//close file
fclose($myfile);

?>

Hope this helps. Save this as your form action.
