  • Help With "Submitting" Button Actions

    This is the first time I've ever tried this so please bear with me. I created this with some html code:



    What I need this to do is when the person hits submit, it sends the text in each field to a file located on the web host. I need it to look something like this:


    Here's the code I have (not sure if it will help):
    Code:
    	<div id="welcom_pan">
    	<h2><span>submit your</span>VIDEO</h2><br>
    	<p><form>
    		YouTube Link to Video <br><input type="text" name="youtubelink" size ="50"/><br /><br />
    		Do you accept the rules (below)? <br><input type="radio" name="yes" value="yes" /> Yes <input type="radio" name="no" value="no" /> No<br /><br />
    		What's happening in the video?
    	</form>
    	<form method="post">
    		<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea><br>
    	</form><br>
    	<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    	</p> 
    	</div>

          It's not very clear what you're trying to do...
          but, you should name both the radio button the same name so that you can get a value from it. suppose you name both of them "accept" then if you used php, you can use something like
          PHP Code:
          if($_POST['accept'] == "yes"){
          //Run this code
          }
          else{
          Output erroregYou must accept the rules to continue.

          I also think using MySQL would be the best way to keep track of all the links and descriptions.

            I updated the thread to make it more clear.

              Alright, so I basically got it working, but there are couple things wrong with it. How can I make each new submission create the text from the fields on the next line in the output file?

              Code:
              <?PHP
              
              $filename = "output.txt"; #Must CHMOD to 666
              $quantity = $_POST['quantity'];
              $item = $_POST['item'];
              
              $fp = fopen ($filename, "w"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents
              if ($fp) {
              fwrite ($fp, $quantity . ", " . $item);
              fclose ($fp);
              echo ("Thank you for submitting your video!");
              }
              else {
              echo ("There was a problem submitting your video. Try again, or report the issue.");
              }
              
              ?>
