Working on it now. I'll post it up soon.

Here's a really basic example.

PHP Code:

 
if(empty($_POST['step']))

{

?><form action="?" method="POST">

<input type="text" name="a_field">

<input type="hidden" name="step" value="2">

<input type="submit"></form><?

}

if($_POST['step'] == "2")

{

    $filename = 'data.txt';

    $somecontent = $_POST['a_field']."\n";

    $handle = fopen($filename, 'a+');

    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) 

    {

       echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";

       exit;

       }

   echo "Success, wrote $somecontent to file $filename";

  

   fclose($handle);

}

You can see it in action here:

It works now.
