I've searched around this site for an answer but couldn't find any help in my problem. I have a script with a form and I'd like to get the contents of the input written into a txt file (line by line in mytext.txt file for example) when the submit button is pressed - or maybe simpler only the result.
Result / content of "echo $result['text'];" should be saved to text file (mytext.txt)
I tried to add something like that after each "echo" but it doesn't work. here is the sample code.
$f = fopen("mytext.txt", "w");
fwrite($f, $result);
fclose($f);
or
$f = fopen("mytext.txt", "w");
fwrite($f, $username);
fclose($f);
or
$txt = "$result";
$myfile = file_put_contents('mytext.txt', $txt.PHP_EOL , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
but still no luck. How can I do that and where to add it? With PHP or maybe with JavaScript? Help please.
edit: PART of the script (I'm sorry I forgot about it)

If you are having errors when trying to get this code to run, check that you have granted your PHP file access to write information to the hard drive.
You must check if the directory you're trying to save your txt file is writable. Example:
$contents = 'Here goes your content';
$dirName = __DIR__; //in case you're saving in another directory, you may use 'files/directory/' instead of __DIR__
$fileName = $dirName.'/mytext.txt';
if (!is_writable($dirName)) {
throw new \Exception("This folder is not writable: '$dirName'");
}
//Checks if the content was added
if (!file_put_contents($fileName, $contents)) {
throw new \Exception("Could not write to file: $fileName");
}
The code is correct, it may be that the directory does not have permission to create files.
