i really dont want to if its possible, i wanted to store it either everytime someone registered into their own flat text file, or all into one single file all under a folder like user_forms or something like that.

Try putting the $_POST variables in a variable then define them like this:

PHP Code

<?php
$post = $_POST['post'];
 
echo "Hello $post";
?>

Alright, ill try. You have the post parts in the middle of your html code. Here:

PHP Code

<body><center>Hello <?php echo $_POST["racername"]; ?>.

What I am saying to do is this:

PHP Code

<?php
$post = $_POST["racername"];
 
echo "<body><center>Hello $post .";
?>

Instead of using the post function all the time just use the variables. This COULD come up something like:

Code

Hello Diablosblizz

I hope you understand, and if im way off what your talking about then sorry.

yes but thats not helping me to do what im needing to do, when a user registers for the tourney then the see the next page with their info they submitted, i want the data they submitted to save into its own text file under a directory called user_forms so that way i can check the forms and see who registered.

Code

        create a new database and user.

call the database: tourney

call the database user: tourney

				  password: tourney

Run this in phpmyadmin

[code]

CREATE TABLE `tourney` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

`racername` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',

`averageet` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

`car` varchar(55) NOT NULL default 'Integra',

`entry` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '$300',

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) TYPE=MyISAM;

Save this as config.php

Code

        <?php

$host = "localhost"; //edit as required

$user = "tourney"; //edit as required

$pass = "tourney"; //edit as required

$db = "tourney"; //edit as required

$dbcon = mysql_connect("$host","$user","$pass"); 

mysql_select_db($db) or die(mysql_error());

?>

Save this as tourney.php

Code

        <?php

include ("config.php");

switch($_GET[page])

{

default:

echo ("

<html>

<title>Tourney App</title>

<body>

<form action="?page=register" method="post">

<b>Racername:</b><br><input type="text" name="racername"><br>

<b>Average ET:</b><br><input type="text" name="averageet"><br>

<b>Car:</b><br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="Integra"/>Integra<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="Lancer"/>Lancer<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="RSX"/>RSX<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="G35"/>G35<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="Mustang"/>Mustang<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="Vette"/>Vette<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="car" VALUE="Ford GT40"/>Ford GT40<br>

<b>Which entry amount would you like to pay?</b><br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="entry" VALUE="$300"/>$300<br>

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="entry" VALUE="$400"/>$400<br>

<input type="Submit" value="Register"/>

</form></body>

</html>

");

break;

case 'register':

$racername = "$_POST[racername]";

$averageet = "$_POST[averageet]";

$car = "$_POST[car]";

$entry = "$_POST[entry]";

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tourney (racername, averageet, car, entry) VALUES('$racername', '$averageet', '$car', '$entry')");

echo ("

<html>

<title>Submitted Data</title>

<body>

<center>Hello $racername.<br>

You have chose to use a $car for this tourney with the average et of $averageet.<br>

With the agreement to pay the entry fee of <?php echo $entry.<br>

Your information has been submitted to our tourney system.<br>

Thanks and enjoy the tourney.</body>

</html>

");

break;

}

?>

That will insert everything into the database for you to use later on

A very big tut
