The script in the thread right below you can be pretty much used as it is to write the data you are sending to the PHP to the text file…

```php
#write to file
$sting =' Some text to write into the text file. ';
$file ="sometext.txt";
$openfile = fopen($file, "w") or die ("couldnt open file");
fwrite ($openfile, $string);
fclose ($openfile);
```
Thats all fokes.

flash would work the same as an html form, run a search on the forums for setting up a form.
