PHP Form and text files question

[striker269]

Hi,

What I am trying to do is add items to this text file with a php form to save work. I currently have to cut and past variables as arrays as well as the values. What I would like to be able to do is create a form with 4 input fields and post the values to this text file. I am looking for any help that can be offered.

$productName[] = "Product1";
$productDescription[] = "Thanks";
$productId[] = "cl116485";
$shipping[] = "0";

$productName[] = "Product2";
$productDescription[] = "Very fast shipping";
$productId[] = "107";
$shipping[] = "1";

$productName[] = "Product3";
$productDescription[] = "Cake topper is great and well packed";
$productId[] = "cl116485";
$shipping[] = "1";

$productName[] = "Product4";
$productDescription[] = "Thank you";
$productId[] = "107";
$shipping[] = "0";

fopen, and fwrite are your friends.

although I think that you probably want to rethink the array structure you have setup...
using a multidemensional array

I know that i fopen and fwrite are what i need to use but i haven't found anywhere that shows how to incorporate the 3 together (forms, fopen, and fwrite).

alright. you have a form on the page a.php. when the user submits the form, it calls page b.php. in b.php, you use the fopen to create the filestream, the use fwrite to write the variables from the form to the file. The variables should be available in the $_POST array.
