I signed up to this fabolous site to pose a super simple question/request.

I wish i knew how to make it, but i dont.

A webpage with a text input box, and a submit button.
text is sent to a new line on a serverside .txt file.

kind of like a reverse twitter now i think about it.

props to whoever helps me without over 9000 noob based insults.

Here is a simple script that creates a file called myFile.txt.
Every time you enter some text into the form and submit it, that line of text get added to the file.
Then after the file is created, it displays the contents line by line.

This script requires that you have PHP installed with the server (ie: Your hosting account includes PHP).

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple file creator.</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(!empty($_POST["submit"]))
{
 $fh = fopen("myFile.txt","a");
 if(!empty($_POST["theText"])){fwrite($fh,stripslashes($_POST["theText"])."\r\n");}
 fclose($fh);
 }
if(file_exists("myFile.txt"))
{
 echo "<span style='color:#00f;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;'>myFile.txt</span> <span style='font-size:18px;'>contains the following data.</span><p><div style='float:left;padding:10px;padding-bottom:0px;border:1px solid #000;'>";
 $fh = fopen("myFile.txt","r");
 while(!feof($fh))
 {
  echo fgets($fh)."<br />";
  }
 fclose($fh);
 echo "</div><br style='clear:both;' />";
 }
?>
<div style="float:left;margin-top:20px;padding:10px;padding-bottom:0px;border:1px solid #000;">
<form action="#" method="post">
Enter some text: <input type="text" name="theText"><p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
