Topic: I know this exists, but I forgot the code, help!

[~V+]

I used to have a code for my website that would retreive information from a text bar on my website.

I dont know if you understand that but its hard to explain.


basically I had a text bar, like the one you put your subject in like when you make a new topic, when a button was hit it would put the information that was typed into a bar into a .txt file on my server, so I could keep track of whats going on.

I was trying to re-do my website, and the guy who was hosting me deleted everything off my server, I really need this code back, can anyone help me?

the button is a submit button on a form, then you use $_POST to get the value, and then use file writing, check out fwrite, fopen etc.

When you submit text to a form, and it uses something like textbar.php to process it, use this code...

$somevariablename = $_POST['formnamehere']

Then you use the fopen and fwrite functions to write $somevariablename to the text file.
