How I can make PHP create a file for each order named whatever the person enters there name into the field

<?php

Name:           php echo $_POST["Firstname"]; 
            php echo $_POST["Lastname"];   <br /> <br />
Dorm Name:      php echo $_POST["DormName"];   <br />

Room Number:    php echo $_POST["RoomNumber"];   <br />

Pizza Type      php echo $_POST["PizzaType"];   <br />

?>

This is what i have so far but I need a function that will make a file for each submission and name it the persons name.

    your PHP should look something like this…

    <?php
if ($_POST["submit"]) {
    $firstName = $_POST["firstName"];
    $lastName = $_POST["lastName"];
    $dormName = $_POST["dormName"];
    $roomNumber = $_POST["roomNumber"];
    $pizzaType = $_POST["pizzaName"];

    $fp = fopen($firstName . "_" . $lastName . ".txt", "a"); // the 'a' will append to the end of the file.
    fwrite($fp, "\n\n");
    fwrite($fp, "First Name: $firstName\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Last Name: $lastName\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Dorm Name: $dormName\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Room Number: $roomNumber\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Pizza Type: $pizzaType\n");
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

<html>
    <head>
        <title>test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form method="POST" id="" action="">
            <input type="text" name="firstName" value="" />
            <input type="text" name="lastName" value="" />
            <input type="text" name="dormName" value="" />
            <input type="text" name="roomNumber" value="" />
            <input type="text" name="pizzaName" value="" />
            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

    Note: If another person with the same name orders again, it will all just append to the bottom of the same file.

    Cheers
