I am a newb to PHP, not to HTML though. (First time ever trying PHP). I have a PHP page that will allow the user to input their name and then submit it. like a guestbook. but instead what I want it to do is either create a .txt file or .html file that always has a different name with their info.
alright:
user #1 types his name in the text box, presses submit and then the code creates 1.html with his info.
I assume that I will need some sort of permanent counter in it so that it will keep going to create #.html to accomodate for the number of guests that go there.
any help is welcome. including a snap back to reality.

hmmm, an interesting idea none the less, but you might have better luck trying to learn the basics of using a MySQL database with PHP.I remember when I was asking those same questions. Definately check out PHP using MySQL. PHP is a great programming language. I would have to say it is my favorite. MySQL would also be my favorite database.
Tip: When you want to get the reference on a PHP function type into your browser's address bar <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://php.net/what_ever_function_you_want">http://php.net/what_ever_function_you_want</a><!-- m -->
<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.php.net">www.php.net</a><!-- w --> (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.php.net">http://www.php.net</a><!-- m -->) will take you straight to the function!
