help me in storing the data in file

hi

i am a beginner of php

i just want to know the code or procedure to write a data in file automatically when submit button is clicked..

for example.

if i am getting a data from the user like name,age etc....after finishing the form ,if user clicks the submit button ,it should be automatically store in word pad or note pad...

pls help me in this problem..

 

search for the php functions
fopen,fwrite

 

Alternatively you can use mysql and save it to database.

 

http://php.net/file_put_contents

 

you can try this code:

<?
if(!$_POST['submit'])
{
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?
}
else
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$fp = fopen("new.txt",w);
if($fp != null)
{
fwrite($fp,$name);
}

}
?>

 

Remember to use fclose($fp) too.

 

sorry forgot to put,i was just telling the way to do...plz add fclose($fp) after fwrite($fp,$name)

 

Here is the Correct Version of Code. It will create text file if file doesn't exist before.
<?php
if(!$_POST['submit'])
{
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$fp = fopen("myfile.txt","a+") or exit("unable to open the file");
if($fp != null)
{
fwrite($fp,$name);
}
fclose($fp);


}
?>
