write to an external TXT file

[Anon]

What i'm trying to create is a HTML form, that allows me to fill in text that i would like to add to a text file on the same directory.
what i thought was to creat a form then post the from to a action.php, which only has
if ($text=fopen("text.txt", "a+")){
fputs($text, "$name: $message");
i was wonderding if this method would write to the text.txt?

IF not, what is the way to add text to a text file by filling out an html form.
I'm very new to php PLEASE be specific.
THANKS for your time

$write_file = "YOUR TEXT TO THE FILE";
$filename ="ur_filename.txt";
$d= fopen($filename,'w'); //or a+
fputs($d, $write_file);
fclose($d);

This will work. But mind u, if u dont have the file name, it will create a file for u or attempt to create a file name.
When this file is created, u may need to use chmod to change the access permission to that file.
