Post icon  Posted 22 March 2009 - 10:15 PM

What can I do to so when a second form is submitted the information will create an be sent to 2.php and a third submission would be 3.php and so on...



Thank you very much

  <html>
<head>
<title>Form to Flat File</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

$user = $_GET["name"];
$message = $_GET["message"];
print("<b>Thank You!</b><br />Your information has been added! You can see it by <a href=1.php>Clicking Here</a>");
$out = fopen("1.php", "w");
if (!$out) {
print("Could not append to file");
exit;
}
fputs ($out,implode,("\n"));
fwrite($out,"<b>$user</b><br />$message<br /><br />");
fclose($out);
?>
</body>
</html>

Untested, but should get you in the right direction...
<html>
<head>
<title>Form to Flat File</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
  if(isset($_GET['page'] $page=$_GET['page'] + 1;
  else $page=1;
  $user = $_GET["name"];
  $message = $_GET["message"];
  print("<b>Thank You!</b><br />Your information has been added! You can see it by <a href=".$page.".php>Clicking Here</a>");
  $out = fopen($page.".php", "w");
  if (!$out) {
	die("Could not append to file");
  }
  fputs ($out,implode,("\n"));
  fwrite($out,"<b>$user</b><br />$message<br /><br />");
  fclose($out);
?>
</body>
</html>

It's not common practice to write php files on the fly. Usually they are coded & then used for processing. Like write once read many.

Maybe give a little more detail as to the scope of your project, & there might be a better, more efficient way to achieve what you are after.

What I am trying to do is create a place where people could post job openings. So when they submit the form the name of the company, and the position available would display on a page. With the link to the job description being included in the position available. I'm trying to do it the simplest way possible at this point for practice.

Simple Just from use Session Variables
$_SESSION['AnyName']=$_POST['AnyName'];

so u can use it every where in every page by using 
echo $_SESSION['AnyName'];

This is incorrect, you need to either store it in a db (not that hard plenty of tutorials out their on it and if you get stuck just post back here, we're more than glad to help) or just store it in a .dat file of some sort instead of php in a sence a db only much simpler. But your current practice is incorrect.
