[Resolved] PHP only News type script help

[Lan]

Hello,

I'm having problems finding out how to go about doig this...

My page is on a server that has IIS and PHP only, no other server side extensions.

What I'm trying to do is get a simple script that I can use to write to a text file on that page, and then display it in another part via the include method.

Anyhow, I just need a simple script, or a good pointer on how to get this working. I've tried a ton of free scripts, and many have way more than I'm looking for for features. All I need is a plain old text box to add, and I don't need to be able to edit the posts.
I don't even need a password on the 'admin' page, as its already secure based upon piror information.

Anyhow, any pointers to a script that might work, or help on writting to a file would be great. Thanks

Basically all you need to do is make a form and put an "if ($submit) { //append to .txt file}" type of thing. I am not really sure how to do it...try looking around in the documentation on www.php.net for file commands.

In your HTML file

<form action="add.php" method="post" name="add" id="add">
  Your text: <br>
  <textarea name="data" id="data"></textarea>
</form>

add.php

<?php
$data=$_POST['data'];
$file="textfile.txt";
fp=fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
?>

another file, let say display.php

//provided you have a static file name
include("textfile.txt");
