I'm running a test with some people at work.  I have a web form that people enter info on and I want the information to write (append) to a text file on the web server.  How can I do that?  I'm definitely NOT a programmer, so if someone can post the code that would be awesome.  I've tried Google but I'm completely lost.  Thanks.

It's not that easy.  I would recommend giving Google another shot.  Start here: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en

There are a large numbers of methods to accomplish this.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$variable1 = fopen('text1.txt','a+');

$variable2 = $_POST['something'];

$variable3 = $variable2.PHP_EOL;

fwrite($variable1,$variable2);

fclose($variable1); 

print_r(error_get_last());

header("place: http://www.domain.com/whatever.htm") ;

}

?>

<form action='text1.php' method='post'>

    <input type='text' name ='something' size= '30'/>

    <input type='submit' name='submit' value='87'/>

</form>

something similar to this?

Thanks for the responses.  I'm actually using this as part of a security test and doing a spearfishing attack to capture login info, trying to trick people to login to the website.  The PHP scripts are probably the way I'm going to have to go so I'll keep at it.

well if you want to do that with a web based form as a proof of concept I would have the application email a recipient the results of the completed form

you could even sanitize then forge the email to not only send you the results but also a "confirmation" of sorts to your intended target.  



remember it's not the function of the form but the appearance for a phishing attack.
