@NogDogDec 03.2005 — #You'll need to use some sort of server-side processing, such as PHP, Perl, ASP, etc. The first step therefore will be to find out what server side processing your web host supports. @NogDogDec 03.2005 — #Here are the essentials which you could elaborate upon to get the look and feel you want. (Save the file with a .php extension.)
@NogDogDec 04.2005 — #Works fine for me. Only thing I can think of without seeing your code is to make sure the line that just says [b]EOD;[/b] (at the end of the form) has no white space at the beginning or end of the line (i.e., do not indent it at all).@NogDogDec 04.2005 — #Well, like I said, it works fine for me. If you want to post your version of the code, maybe I can see something. Odds are there's a missiong quote, paren, bracket, or semicolon somwhere before the line where it fails.
Submit form helps please
im new here so i dont know if im posting this in the right place, but i need to make a simple submit form with a text box, and have what ever the user submited save to a text file, seperated by spaces
for example if a person types in his email and hits submit, then another person does the same on the website it goes to file and the file looks like this:
[email][email protected][email][email protected]
