PHP to another file

Tidane

I'm trying to use PHP to write the input data to another file. I want the PHP file to add a <TR> and <TD> then have info here, then </TD><TD> for the next item. How should I start doing this?

I'm not exactly sure on what you're looking for, but maybe this is your solution?

<?php

function column($info)
{
	print "<tr><td>$info</td><td>";
}

?>

Put that at the beginning of the file.

Hi, guys ... the board seemed to have
a little trouble a little while ago, and this
post is currently showing up at 0 replies, even though Gary tried to give a good & helpful answer ....

So, I'm just bumping it, I guess...maybe the mailer will hit the OP if it hasn't already ...

And, Tidane ... the answer to your question is, "like this!":

<?php

😃

I think the board's like that because it updates the threads every few minutes, so the database doesn't have too much strain put upon it.

Nope, definite problem:

and that's 2x in the last several days...

Oh, well, it's a great community nonetheless...

Ah ok

I want the user to be able to put data into a form, then print it to another file. I have an example form here http://rpgspace.breezeland.com/memj.html

And the table that I want it to add to/make is here

Are you using a database (like MySQL) or actually using a file? I'd definitely suggest using a database like MySQL instead of a file.

Tidane

I know. I didn't want to before, but I did anyway. I have a script now, and it write to the DB, sorts the items, etc.
