I've created a quiz in flash and right now i'm using php to have it write the results to a text file locally. This is okay, but I'm trying to see if there's a way to get this quiz onto the web so I don't have to bring my laptop around and have people take the quiz one at a time. I've got it now so that the flash quiz is on the web, but I learned the hard way that I can't output the text file to the web server. So the quiz works fine but I can't get the results from it. So I guess what I'm asking is are there any alternatives that php is capable of? For example, is there a way to write the text file to an ftp, or have it emailed to me, or something along those lines? I am a complete newbie to php. Any help would be appreciated.

You can do any of those options. You can even put it in MySQL, very easy. What you'll need first is a host that supports PHP. There are quite alot, but alot have ads. Either you could hire a coder, find one who will work for free, or learn PHP (basics) on your own. It's very simple to email or write to a text file in PHP, too
Yeah, probably the simplest thing to do is to check permissions. If they are in order, you should be able to create new files on the production server, too.
However, perhaps the simplest is to have the results EMAILED to you as cherrio suggests.
