I have a Form that has the Submit button to insert data into a DB. I also need to create a small txt file when the user Submits the data.

Can this be part of Submit or is there a INPUT TYPE = CREATE FILE?

PHP Code:

$file = "file.txt";
$handle = fopen($file, 'w');
fclose($file); 

this will create a file in the same directory as the code that will process the form input

Thanks! That worked.

Followup question - I am using the following code to name the file:

PHP Code:

$sevvar = substr("$_REQUEST[severity]", 5, -21);



if ($sevvar>"2") {

  $file = "notify/$sevvar".".$_REQUEST[fac_id]".".txt";

  $handle = fopen($file, 'w');

  fclose($file);

  }

else

{

  echo "";

  } 

I want $file to look like this:
3.0012.txt
but I'm getting this:
3 .0012.txt ------------- with a 'space' between the 3 and the rest.

What change do I need in my $file codeline?

Thanks,

I got it - it was a data issue. I was picking up a space as well as the number in the value. I was at -21, needed to be at -22.

PHP Code:

$sevvar = substr("$_REQUEST[severity]", 5, -22);



if ($sevvar>"2") {

  $file = "notify/$sevvar".".$_REQUEST[fac_id]".".txt";



  $handle = fopen($file, 'w');

  fclose($file);

  }

else

{

  echo "";

  }
