I need Help!

Post by Ojib »

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to PHP and had a question. My idea was to have a page where I could login and it would take me to a form layout. I want the information that I enter into the form to post and save to a page so I can update from anywhere. Can this be accomplished in PHP? Can it be done without a database if it is just me doing the updating? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey thanks Jcart,

I think the fwrite () was what I was looking for. However, it keeps telling my file file is "not writable." Any ideas?

I think what was meant was: what is the server OS / httpd? Linux / Apache or Windows / IIS or otherwise.

And, BTW, nice practice mediatemple has of requiring that you have Flash installed / enabled to view their site.
