PHP form to .txt file

Hello everyone

I been searching for this for a while now but I cant find anything. Please if its out there somewhere , guide me!

I want to a php page, lets says "form.php" when I open that page it only has a text box and a SAVE button. When I type in that box and press "Save" it will save the text in a file called "data.txt". So next time I login to form.php the data I saved previously is in that box, so then I could just finish my typing or edit.

Please help, Thanks

 

Here is code for what you are talking about.

<?php
  $saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
  if ($saving == 1) { 
    $data = $_POST['data'];
	$file = "data.txt"; 
 
    $fp = fopen($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!"); 
    fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!"); 
 
    fclose($fp); 
    echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
  }
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="form.php?saving=1">
  <textarea name="data" cols="100" rows="10">
  <?php
    $file = "data.txt";
    if (!empty($file)) {  
	  $file = file_get_contents("$file");
	  echo $file;  
	}  
  ?>
  </textarea>
  <br>
  <input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>

Thanks RIZZY!!! Your awesome. One problem though, for example, if I add this to the form

<br><font color="#808080">

PHP:

and then Press Save, it comes out like this

<br><font color=\\\"#808080\\\"> 

PHP:

Each time I press SAVE these the blackslashes double, triple, and so on.
How can I fix this problem?

Thanks again

 

Use urldecode($data) and stripslashes($data) before outputting to your file.

 

You don't need the urldecode, just the strip slashes

<?php
  $saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
  if ($saving == 1) { 
    $data = $_POST['data'];
	$file = "data.txt"; 
 
    $fp = fopen($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
    fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!"); 
 
    fclose($fp); 
    echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
  }
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="form.php?saving=1">
  <textarea name="data" cols="100" rows="10">
  <?php
    $file = "data.txt";
    if (!empty($file)) {  
	  $file = file_get_contents("$file");
	  echo stripslashes($file);  
	}  
  ?>
  </textarea>
  <br>
  <input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>

GREAT! Thank YOU Tons

 

dunno if it's of any use to you but another thing you could implement is replacing <br>s with new lines using nl2br()
