Troubles using fwrite

Hi,

I have some schoolwork that needs to be done, and im pretty new at PHP. My teacher wanted me to create an HTML conact form, after this you will be sent to page nr two. Where i am listing out the information in the form, a confirmation. This i done. But now he wants me to create an .txt file where the information will be saved.

Code:

<html><head><title>Form</title></head><body>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
        
<form action="form.php" method="POST">
        <p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
        <p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
        <p>Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone">
        <p>Adress</p><input type="text" name="adress">
        

<p>Hva lurer du på?<br/>
    <select size="1" name="dropdown">
<option>Products</option>
<option>Shipping</option>
<option>Other</option>
    </select>
    
<br />
<br />

    
        <td>Do you want us to call you?<br />
            Yes <input type="radio" name="answer" value="Yes" />

            No<input type="radio" name="answer" value="No" />
        </td>
        
        
        
        <br />
        <br />
<p>Comment</p><textarea wrap="OFF" name="comment" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br />      
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now i want the customers information to be saved in a .txt file.

Code:

<?php 
session_start();

$fp =fopen("temp/text.txt","w+");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["name"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["phone"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["adress"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["email"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["answer"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["dropdown"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,$_SESSION["comment"]."\n");
fwrite($fp,"\n");
fclose($fp);
?>

Name, phone, adress and email is the only ones who saves in the .txt file. The others, i dont know (answer, dropdown, comment). Something wrong with my code? Tell me if you need some more info about this,

Thanks

$_SESSION is for session data. You know, with session_start() and all that.

Use $_POST: that's data from a submitted form (with method=post).

Something like this?

PHP Code:


		
			
 fwrite($fp,$_POST["name"]."\n");

fwrite($fp, $_POST["email"]."\n");

fwrite ($fp, $_POST["phone"]."\n");

fwrite ($fp, $_POST["adress"]."\n");

fwrite ($fp, $_POST["comment"]."\n");

fwrite ($fp, $_POST["dropdown"]."\n");

fwrite ($fp, $_POST["answer"]."\n");

Are you putting this code in form.php or someplace else? If the latter then what's in form.php?

Then you actually should be using $_SESSION in the new code.

The problem is in form.php.

PHP Code:


		
			
 $_SESSION["comment"];$_REQUEST["comment"];  

$_SESSION["dropdown"];$_REQUEST["dropdown"];

See those extra semicolons?
