creating text file from form data

[tapping]

I need to create a text file from the data a user enters after he submits a form. I am using Dreamweaver 8. What would be the best way to go about this? We don't have a application server as yet. We don't know what application server we will use at present.

Any advice would be appreciated.

this feature as such will require an "application server", but the concrete "method" (read, coding the "write to file" procedure) actually depends on your chosen option respectively the server model you´ll need to define for your Dreamweaver site -- that´s why e.g. providing an adequate programming advice isn´t yet possible.

I reckon that ASP, ColdFusion etc will all provide their own methods to let you write a file to the server containing the form data, unless the server admin has this feature deactivated on purpose -- all I know is, that PHP running on an Apache server supports this, and developing this procedure on PHP isn´t that difficult
