Submit?

I want to set up a Submit, that stores information to another location on the server, I don't want users to see the submitted information, I want the users to be redirected somewhere else. What's the Simplest way to set up a Submit?

The information doesn't need to be hidden, I just don't want users to see it right away, all the stuff could just be stored in a text file, an I can check it when i want to.

RE: Submit?

It depends on your server setup for how to do this. If your server has PHP you can do something such as the following:

First you have an html file with the form on it, and example one is below:

userform.html

Code:

<html>

<head></head>

<body>

<form action="submit.php" method="post">

    Name:  <input type="text" name="name" /><br />

    Email: <input type="text" name="email" /><br />

    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Next you have a php file, named in the action part of the html file as is shown below:

submit.php

PHP Code:

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = $_POST['name'];
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "\n"; // write a new line to the file
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = $_POST['email'];
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh); 

I didn't explain this very fully, so if you would like some more info on how to do this, and such please let me know.
