Hey guys, so heres the story... I've been setting up my own server, using AutoIt. But for now, I had to down the server because it is unsecure... I need a seperate computer, that is firewalled, with no network interaction besides the server, etc. So I've also made a tool, in AutoIt, that helps you develop web pages. I made a very simple web page. And I will be adding an edit control and a button. It will be one of those "tell me what you think of this site" things. So once I get the button, and edit control, this is what I want to happen. When somone hit's the submit button, I need a file to be written to god knows where that has the contents of what the user typed in the edit control. Now since my site will be on a regular computer, I don't know where or how I will write the file to. And I just wanted to know if this is possible, and how...

Thanks,

windows? *nix?

either way you will need to use more than html

You need to learn about server-side scripting first. When the user enters text into a form on the web, they can submit it to a server side script on your machine. Your server runs the script, passes it the information submitted, and then your program can to whatever it wants with that data (like, for example, appending it to a file inside or outside your website's tree on your server box).

Do do server-side programming, if you've programmed before (sounds like, not extensively from your post) I recommend CGI scripting in Perl, and if not (especially if you've done a bit of HTML but not much if anything more) then PHP is probably a better starting point.

Best of luck.
