I realized that the script I wrote is attempting to use both javascript and php, and this doesn’t work. Can anyone tell me how I might go about achieve what I’m looking to do? What I want to do is have a button that when clicked, it will write to file on the server. Here;s the code i wrote:

<html>
<head>
<?php
function change_html(){
     $myFile = "testFile.html";
     $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
     $stringData = "Hello\n";
     fwrite($fh, $stringData);
     $stringData = "World!\n";
     fwrite($fh, $stringData);
     fclose($fh);
     }
?>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="change_html()" Value="Continue">
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance!!

    If you want to do this in PHP, then you have your button submit a form and the PHP script it points to does the work.

    <form action="writefile.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Continue" />
</form>

    –

    <?php
//writefile.php
file_put_contents("testFile.html", "Hello\nWorld!\n");
?>

    That script can redirect back to the form if you want:

    <?php
//writefile.php
file_put_contents("testFile.html", "Hello\nWorld!\n");
header("Location: yourpage.php");
?>
