Ryan,
Please keep your replies on the list so that others may benefit as well.
Here's a very, very simple example that will handle individual,
unique file creation each time the form is submitted:
<?
if($_POST) {
extract($_POST);
/* Do your file upload routine first, as you have it now.
Then just grab the name of the file that was uploaded
and place it into a variable named $uploadfile. */
$filedir = "records"; // This directory should be writable by
the script.
$filename = date("YmdHis")."_".$firstname."_".$lastname.".txt";
$thefile = $filedir."/".$filename;
$handle = fopen($thefile,"w+"); // The w+ will write to a
file, or create it if it's not there.
$contents = "Name:\t\t".$firstname." ".$lastname."\n";
$contents .= "File:\t\t".$uploadfile."\n"; // This line and
the one above have two tabs to keep in line
$contents .= "Comments:\t".$usercomments;
fwrite($handle,stripslashes($contents));
fclose($handle);
echo "File written successfully!";
exit;
}
?>
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><BR />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastname"><BR />
File: <input type="file" name="uploadfile"><BR />
Comments: <textarea rows="3" cols="18"
name="usercomments"></textarea><BR />
<input type="submit" value="Send Form">
</form>
