<p>Using PHP I want to store user input from an html page in a .txt file and output that user input onto the same page.</p> <p>However, nothing is showing up in either the .txt file or on the page div.</p> <p><strong>IN ADDITION:</strong> I'd like to have each new message display on a new div, I know this is somewhat of a different question, but I figured it could be related.</p> <p>Any ideas on why this isn't working?</p> <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p> <p>The form itself:</p> <pre><code><textarea name="msg" rows="5"></textarea> <form id="post" name="post" action="storeText.php" method="post"> <input class="button" type="submit" value="POST!"/> </form> </code></pre> <p>Where I want to output on the same html page:</p> <pre><code><div class="menuItem" > <?=$msg?> </div> </code></pre> <p><strong>PHP:</strong></p> <p>storeText.php</p> <pre><code><?php $filename = 'posts.txt'; $msg = (isset($_POST['msg']) ? $_POST['msg'] : null); // Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first. if (is_writable($filename)) { // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode. // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it. if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) { echo "Cannot open file ($filename)"; exit; } // Write $somecontent to our opened file. if (fwrite($handle, $msg) === FALSE) { echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)"; exit; } echo "Success, wrote ($msg) to file ($filename)"; fclose($handle); } else { echo "The file $filename is not writable"; } ?> </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
