[SOLVED] HTML Form + PHP Help! - J4P4NM4N - 04-10-2011
Excuse my n00bery, but I am having trouble learning this one part for my internal-use website. I have an HTML site with a form like so:
Code:
<form method="POST" action="log.php" id="login_form" >
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><label for="email">Email</label></td>
<td><label for="pass">Password</label></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" class="inputtext" name="email" id="email" tabindex="1" /></td>
<td><input type="password" class="inputtext" name="pass" id="pass" tabindex="2" /></td>
<td><label class="myButton myButtonConfirm"><input value="Submit" tabindex="4" type="submit"" /></label></td>
</tr></table>
</form>For now I'm just wanting to store the email and password to a text file, and I have two future goals (irrelevant here, but one is a password manager, the other is part of a plugin that integrates with Firefox for similar functionality).
So far I have login.php as shown here:
Code:
<?php
$email = $_POST['email'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$file = 'saved.txt';
$data = "Username: $email\nPassword: $pass\n\n";
file_put_contents ($file, $data, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
?>But something isn't working (I don't feel I grasp the whole POST-form thing). Whenever I input email and password and click "Submit" I get a prompt to download login.php.
Help is very much appreciated.

Fixed it. Had no webserver running. Plus switched my server-side processing to Perl (but that's irrelevant to this thread).
