How to make PHP form data saved into txt file

Radu · **Posted:** Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:51 pm

Hello!
How can I make a PHP form data to be saved in a txt file.
I need to enter multiple records that should be inserted in the same text file.
For example: I have 5 persons. For each person I have Name, Date, Phone, Observations. The form must save all this persons data and put them in a txt file in the impun order.
I not sure if I made myself clear.
