Saving Webpage With Form Values

mbrown174

Hello
I have an application form that a user fills in, when they click submit I want all the values saved as a HTML page. Currently I use fwrite and have succeeded in saving a html page but it doesnt have the form values! (in essence - just a blank form)

Anyways I can get around this?
Thanks

You could set the value="" attributes of text fields, the selected and checked values for dropdowns and checkboxes?

Out of curiosity.. Why as an HTML file? Why not output it a pdf, or just store the values?

Hello
Ive dealt with databases before and wanted to learn something new. Now I was hoping there would be an easy way to save all the form data to one single page, these pages could then be viewed using a file manager in my admin area.

Essentially, I would have a form of several pages - each page passes on the variables till the last page. The user would click submit and the page and values would be saved.

Currently Im using fwrite to generate a page BUT i cant store the values! And I set the values of each text area to a php variable. Still no luck and i dont know where im going wrong!

Thanks for any help!

As before: You need to set the value="" atribute in the textareas. If you are already doing this, please show how you are setting them, and how you get them from the submitted info.

If you have trouble getting the information from page to page,before saving the output, use hidden form variables or sessions to carry the values over between pages
