Little Help

You see this is just for knowledge out of curiosity as i created a little form of HTML of my own. Now the thing is this form mails to me instead is there a way this form could you know save the info on a .txt or any other file. Thanks

Well depending on what you want the form for you can use various methods the best and most secured way is through MySQL, in which you can constantly backup your data especially logins an passwords. That set up is especially good for setting up affiliates and all that good stuff, in which you could use text files to store your info. But if the form is something simple like a contact form then you don't need external file to save your info. I would check up on tutorials on how to build php forms and what not to help you out, in which I recommend checking out http://www.pixel2life.com/. I believe there are a few contact forms here on the forums as well.

~~~ This Link ~~~ displays a Contact Form I wrote which also copies the information to a txt file and then the contents of the text file is displayed underneath the form. Sort of like a Guest Book.

The message listing can be turned off on the contact page and then the list of messages is also available by clicking on a different link: ~~~ Here ~~~

If you want the code via a zip file, I can make it available, but it isn't a tough script to write...

Well if i could get a little sample form and if you could create it for me here is example to help you. Thanks a lot btw.Form start ________Name-|________|Submit button.End form. All this should be saved to txt.txt.

Here is the zip file containing all the files you will need.The Readme file explains the Modifications you will need to make.Any questions, PM me or post here...

contact_form.zip

Well first of all thanks a lot and i did see it but its too confusing to understand. This is not required for my site but it is basically needed in HTML form if available and something very small and custom so that i can LEARN it.

Would it help if I wrote out a Tutorial for you to study?(sheesh, that means I will need to understand my own code... )

Yeah it would be great if you had the time. Thanks a lot.

Okay, I'll see about doing that tomorrow night. I am just about to go to sleep here.In the meantime, unzip the files and read the readme.txt file to see what needs to be done ...

Alright thanks.

Bump?? I thought Jlahsip would make a Tutorial for me. Well waiting up on it brother.
