input text field to external text file

[rhombus23]

Is there anyway to send the information typed into an input text field to an external simple text file? I don't know CGI scripting.
Thanks

Flash alone can't do the job. You must know Perl, ASP, PHP or others.

Hi,

PHP example code - assuming your text box is simply called "text"

<?
if($fp = @fopen("textfile.txt", "w"))
{	$text = ereg_replace("\r", "\n", $text);
	$text = ereg_replace("%", "%25", $text);
	$text = ereg_replace("&", "%26", $text);
	fputs($fp, "text=$text");
	fclose($fp);
	print "status=ok";
}
else
	print "status=cannot+open+for+write";
?>

The text replace things are there so that you can view the text file and also reopen it in flash
