Saving a file locally?

[shawjames]

Hello,
I need to have the contents of a string saved into a local file. I have a script that generates the string that must be saved... I'm just not sure of the best way to get it saved.

I suppose I could save it on the server, then ftp_get to local?

Anyone know a slick way to do this?

Perhaps you could store it in a cookie too?

I doubt you can do it without prompting the user to download a file.

Would you want web sites you visit dropping files on your hard drive? What are you trying to do?
