Re: create file after form completion

Hello, thanks for your answers. I do have a form already and I am using it to mail the results: ------------------------ <?php //include //<?php $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST; $time = date("G:i:s"); $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); $vorname = $HTTP_POST_VARS['vorname']; $nachname = $HTTP_POST_VARS['nachname']; $post = $HTTP_POST_VARS['post']; mail("example@example.com", "New registration", " time: $time ip-adress: $ip <html> <head> <title>This is amazing Mr. $name</title> </head> <body> <p>My surname is $surname and my address $post</p> </body> </html> "); ?> ----------------------- Instead of this, I would like to dump the results into a file, ideally with a random name, taken from e.g. $$ in a specific directory Something like results/2345.html with 2345.html <html> <head> <title>This is amazing Mr. Paul</title> </head> <body> <p>My surname is Smith and my address Example Street 34</p> </body> </html> But I have no idea of how to tell php to create a file with the values from the user. thanks!
