I need Help!

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!

Yes this can be accomplished easily using php.

Some things to get you started

:arrow: dealing with forms
:arrow: to write and read files: fopen(), fread(), fwrite()

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.
