Form Vars Stored for later use....

EricTRocks

Hello,

I created an email form which contains about 30 variables which are emailed to a particular recipient. What I need to do is also, store all those variables that were sent by email for later use. I wish to do this with one page of script but if needed, more. I don't have database capabilities so that option is out. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

I am just assuming that you have no option of using the variables at the same time as the email is send -> Sen dthe email, and have the same script produce the output?

Then you could of course write to a textfile, seperate each value with | eg, and then on the next run you open that specific text-file?

Have look at fopen, fput, fclose, fread from the manual.

I can have the same script do the two operations at the same time. That is actually what I am looking to do. It is just that I need to know what functions to use. Also need to know how to not only store those variables, but to open them from an external file and place them in that file. Uhg, sorry if i'm confusing.

Hi Eric,

You are confusing me even more here!

How do you send the email? You need the variables for that too, right?

Ok sorry for confusion....

Ok, i have a page that takes variables from a form and emails them to me. What I need then is to take those same variables and store them in a document for later use. How do i do that?

Second, when I am ready to retrieve these variables from the stored page, how do i do that??

Hopefully that is simpler.

Thanks again,
Eric
