I'm not entirely clear on what you are attempting to do. Are you looking to have form data stored? If so I suggest using a html 'form data to email' method.

How exactly do you want the data stored? In a text file that you can view on your website or download from the FTP? Send it to your email? Either way you're going to be checking something on a regular basis.

VRecruits.php:

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
    <title>Results</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php
try
{
    // set name
    $name = $_POST["join"]
    
    // file to be written to on server
    $filename = "recruits.txt";
    
    // open file for appending
    $file = fopen($filename, 'a') or die("Unable to open file.");
    
    // append
    $data = "$name\n";
    fwrite($file, $data);

    // close file
    fclose($file);
    
    echo "Thank you, $name, for your submission."
}
catch { echo "Submission failed." }
?>

</body>
</html>
