creating a txt file from submitted form

[newmand2]

I have a form with title, author, h1, h2, etc everything you need to write an article. I then insert that into a textarea with the correct html. I then want to copy that text into a new txt file. how is this done? can it be done using fwrite() and if the file doesnt exist a new one is created? Anyways, thanks, cya in the morning

You can use this to get started....

$NewFile = "full_path_to file/file_name.txt";

$xy = fwrite(fopen($NewFile,"w"),"what you want to be in the file") or die ("error saving2");

Make sure to check the right on the directory you want to write the new file too [must be writable]. I hope that helped.

Thanks, it worked. However, it added forward slashes in the HTML before the double quotes. I knwo theres something about stripslashes, but I've never used it.

<?php
    $texta = $_POST[$texta];
    $texta = stripslashes($texta);
    $aname = date(dmD);
    $NewFile = "articles/".$aname.".txt";
    $xy = fwrite(fopen($NewFile,"w"),"$texta") or die ("error saving2");
?>

Thats my code in createarticle.php

When I remove '$texta = stripslashes($texta);' the script works, except it contains the strips. When it is in there, error saving2 appears. I've also tried addslashes(), can anyone help?

Thanks muchly
