    Hi,

    Well. As title says it self.

    I have got one xdb.txt file as database
    x.php as php processor.

    NOW i will write a small code to make you understand what i want;

    PHP Code:
    <?php

$dbname="xdb.txt"

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>X FILE,</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="x.php">
<input name="text" type="text" size="15">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="SUBMIT!">
</form>
</body>
</html>
    PHP:

    NOW, what i want here is in text field "text", If some one put a text,message and submit using Submit button.
    After when the submit process that php script code it writes the value of "text" to our txt database that is xdb.txt.

    Hope it clears Wink

    Thanks in advance!

    FAISAL!
