Form that goes to a log file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 18.2006

I want to make an html page with several forms on it that go straight into a log file. The page will be on an apache server for my home network. I just need to know how to get the entries into the forms to go to a log once the “submit” button is pressed. Oh, and i’m on Linux ?

Any help would be great

@scottrickmanDec 18.2006 — You seem to be missing a step in your logic (or at least to get a manageable solution you seem to be). Surely you need to form to post to a server-side script that can process the form data into the log file? Using Apache on Linux I'd guess you should have access to php? So form.html has a post method and a action of process.php, process.php gets the form data and writes it out to file.log (and then potentially redirects the user to a thank you page?)

I'm kinda clueless when it comes to networking, html, php, etc... :p
