wirehopper told me to post this here



please go here and skip to step three


Tutorial: Fill in PDF Fields With Submitted Form Data
(its near the bottom and is titled 3. Add your data-processing PHP script to handle the posted data.)

i already have the form ready.

i did the <?php echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; ?> thing and got the array below
(these are the form fields from my form. if you need the actual form i have it attached to the post. you can open it in adobe reader if u dont have acrobat)

Array
(
Address_Where_Player_Resides
CONSENT_AFFIDAVIT
City_Borough_or_Township_In_which_Player_Resides
County
Date_of_Birth
Date_of_Registration
Grade
Phone
Players_Name
Public_School_District_In_Which_Player_Resides
School_in_Which_Player_Will_Be_Enrolled_This_Fall
Zip_Code
age_on_may_31st
assosciation_name
height
weight
year_consent
)

even if you dont feel like writing out the code can u atleast explain what i need to change or add on to make this work with my form

i just need this script to work with my form. this php stuff is crazy. no one has a straight answer anywhere on the internet to give an understanding of php. anyone who reads thru the php part of this tutorial will clearly see that the way its explained doesnt really explain how anything works or what exactly should be added or changed to fit different forms

What do you want the script to do, other than receive the data?

Here is a sample, this assumes two things.

1. You want data written to a text file.
2. You have a directory named "registrations" in the same directory as this file.

PHP Code:

<?php
