importing variables in to a page using fopen

[nem]

how would you go about inputting variables from a form in to another page.

ie)

$filename = "filename and directory";

$content = "$_POST['name'];"

$write = $fopen ($filename, a+)

fwrite ($write, $content)

fclose ($filename)

The above is an example, as long as you get the right idea anyway... when i try it will just have...

$_POST['name'];"

What i want is for the empty document to have what ever was in the text input 'name'.

Hi nem,

remove the " chars around $_POST:

if (isset($_POST['name']) && $_POST['name'] != "") {
  $filename = "filename and directory"; 
  $content = $_POST['name']; 
  if ($fd = fopen ($filename,"a+")) {
    fwrite ($fd, $content) ;
    fclose ($fd);
  } else {
    echo "error opening file $filename<br>\n";
  }
}

Besides that there were several other errors in your code.

Using a+ with fopen appends the value of $content to the file, using w+ overwrites the file.
