I have been trying to get a flash file to update/write a text file useing php. Basicly I want to have an input box that sends the data to php but I have done countless tutorials and no luck on changing the text file at all.  
The PHP that I have been using have been  
\<?php

$title = $\_POST[‘Title’];

$toSave = “Title=”.$title.";

$fp = fopen(“savefile.txt”, “w”);  
if(fwrite($fp, $toSave)) echo “writing=Ok”;  
else echo “writing=Error”;  
fclose($fp);  
?\>

-OR-

\<?php

$filename =“savefile.txt”;  
$writeError = false;  
$fileStream;

if (!$fileStream = fopen($filename,‘a’)) {  
$writeError = true;  
} else {  
if (!fputs($fileStream, $stuffToWrite)) {  
$writeError = true;  
} else {  
fclose($fileStream);  
}  
}

print “&wroteFile=”.$writeError;  
?\>

In flash I have just used a simple Post method but know I am missing something.
