Php Form to .txt

Hello everyone I am very new to php. I am self taught and if possible could you please take me through this slow.
I'm basically trying to make a form in PHP that when I submit will save the information in a text file.

<form id="login_form" action=post.php method="post" autocomplete="off">
<div class="section_form">
<span style="float: left">Name:</span>

<input style="float: right" size="20" type="text" name="name" maxlength="12">

<br class="clear">
</div>
<div class="section_form">

<span style="float: left">Password:</span>
<input style="float: right" size="20" type="password" name="password" maxlength="20">
<br class="clear">
</div>
<div class="section_form">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</div>

PHP:

So what I was wondering was how do I get the persons name and password to save into a text file? Do I do something in post.php? Help me confused

 

in your post.php

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = $_POST["name"].",".$_POST["password"]."\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

 

You can do it with 1 line.

post.php:

file_put_contents('file.txt', implode('|', $_POST) . PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND);

PHP:

 

yea, i forgot about that =)

but i think it's better to treat first the $_POST values since, if i'm not mistaken, using your code it will store the submit button value too.

 

nope, submit wasn't given a name attribute.
