Hello. I need help with a little project:

There's a website with a textbox and a submit button. When the user clicks the submit button the text should be saved into a txt file on the server. I remember doing such a thing a very long time ago and php was involved too but now I forgot it and there don't seem to be any good answers on google either. Can you help with it?

Hello,

This code should work:

Code: Select all

<?
if ($_POST && $_POST['nameoffield']!="") {
    file_put_contents("path/to/file.txt", $_POST['nameoffield']."\n", FILE_APPEND);
}
?>
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="nameoffield" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

For some reason, the text file stays empty. The text file is in the same folder as the index.php so I set the path to something like 'file.txt'
