I don´t know what do you detailed mean.

If you write a text into a textarea you can retrieve it with

$_POST["textarea_name"]

or

$_GET["textarea_name"]

It is regarding of the form you are using. (action methode "get" or "post")

Or, if you are speaking of using a textfile as a datastore--All of the functionality you need is in the manual--look in the Filesystem Functions section--specifically for things like fopen, fread, fwrite etc...

Writing to a file

you need the fopen and fput command

$filetarget = fopen("filename.txt" , "w");

// w means open a file for writing only

fput($filetarget, "txt u wanna input \r\n");

Reading

$filetarget = fopen("filename.txt", "r");
// r allows u to read

fgets($filetarget, 1000);

// the 1000 is the length of line to read

or alternatively

$filetarget = fopen("filename.txt", "r");

while (!feof($filetarget))
{
$line = fgets($filetarget, 10000);
print $line;
}
fclose($filetarget);

thats the essentials making a form to go around it is trivial

good luck
