Forms - Splitting input to logfile

Hi,

I'm pretty new to web development, but I have succeeded in producing some basic static sites for friends and associates. I have recently set-up a site that involves users ordering a book. The order form is filled out and passed on to another page in the same site where it becomes a printable page with all the user entered data for printing.

Is is possible to log out to a file, the user entered input to the form? This is so that we can see who has filled the form out in advance of receiving the paper form in the post.

This method was chosen since the subject matter of the site is about debt and self help. The likely users will be on low income, definitely will not have credit cards, and probably will not have e-mail accounts.

I used a pretty naff tool (Serif WebPlus 9.0) to design the pages, but had to deveolp the form myself in HTML with some Javascript code to contol blank entries. When the POST is done, the action points to my printpage, but I would like to know how I could also copy the form content to a logfile.

I just got a copy of Dreamweaver 8, but am still a bit unsure what I can do with that as yet.

Can anyone help?
