First of all, I would learn HTML.  Then create an HTML form.  

Next I would learn how to program.  Since you have installed mod_php, I
would probably learn how to program in php.  Once this is accomplished,
you will realize just how easy your task really is.

[PHP] changing a file on the server using a web form

2001-05-03 Thread Sherman

Hi,

  I have installed mod_php on my Apache web server and there is
something I was curious about.  I would like there to be a web page with a
form that a user can enter some info into.. and it change a file in say
/etc/file.txt when they submit the form .. any tips or advice on how I would
get started doing this?  Thanks in advance.
