Textarea form posting

Apocolypse2005 · January 18th, 2007, 07:18 AM

I have a html page which has textareas which are written into. i would like this data to be outputted to a text file with included headings given. heres a sample of the source code.

Code:

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr colspan=3><h1>Popular Music Press</h1></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">ALL</td><td colspan=2>Task: de-constuct (label and explain) NME front cover</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">ALL</td><td colspan=2>Demonstrate: Knowledge and understanding (MIGRAIN)</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">ALL</td><td valign="top" align="right">Media Language (layout of print publication):</td><td><textarea rows="4" cols="40"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">ALL</td><td valign="top" align="right">Institution/Industry:</td><td><textarea rows="4" cols="40"></textarea></td></tr>

<form>
<input type="button" value="Save"/>
</form>

The form should post this data from the table into a text page. Could anyone help or suggest a method, maybe through javascript.

thanks

hi,
i don't know how to write using javascript, but if you want try with php

$stringData =$_POST['textareaname'];
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
