I have been trying to make a php file that will write the contents of an
html form to a file and this just display that data. Let me give an
example, I have a html form with just one text entry called data. The
user is going to enter a word into this form and then once they hit
submit I want the php file to write what they entered and display what
other people have entered. To do this I tried:
$wd=fopen("writedata.txt","a");
$wdata=fwrite($wd,$data);
fclose($wd);
$wd=fopen("writedata.txt","r");
$currentdata=fgets($wd,50);
echo "<br>Data Currently in File: $currentdata";
but that jams all the data entered by the various users together and I
can't figure out how to seperate it out when I am trying to display it.
I don't know if I am writing the file wrong and it is getting crammed
together or if it is the way that I am reading the file. If you know of
any tutorials that can help me, or if you would be willing to give me a
hand I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
