Edit a file by submitting a form

[DJMiles]

Well, I'm somewhat of a n00b with php, so go a little easy on me, please? 🙂

What I wanted to do, was create a form where a user would enter in information. And when the user clicks a submit button, it would insert the information that the user gave into another file. An example: the file that has the info written to would be a SQL connection file, with the form input being the info to connect to the database.

I know the file being written to has to be chmoded 777, but besides that, what code would I use?

Edit: Oh, silly me. I think this goes in "newbies".

file-put-contents() ?

That's pretty much what I was looking for.

Thanks.

Why don't you just pass the information as variables to the next script and retrieve them with $_POST then use those variables as the data in the connection string?

That's where the "I'm a n00b with php" comes up, but thanks. I'll go and look it up on php.net
