Hi all,
I want to create the text file on the client machine through the program.
Is there any method to do so?
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bye for now,

i think that the only thing you can create on a client machine is a cookie. I'm !not sure! but you maybe can use JavaScript to create a textfile on clientside.

You can create a text file on your server and make it available as a download to the user but you definitely can't use PHP to save it directly to the user's computer. I doubt that you'd be able to use client side stuff to do this either - imagine the security risk if it were possible for web sites to save any old file on a client machine.

yes, that's another interesting topic because I still wonder why people consider JavaScript as a security hole and disable it.

This is possible, but not with PHP. You can use Java aplication for this, but your users must give it access.
