You aren’t checking to see if the submit button has been clicked in your php code.

I am no whiz either but I think you need something like

[php]

<?php if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { $myFile = "testFile.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = $_GET['firstname'] + "\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = $_GET['lastname'] + "\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); } ?>

[/php]

I haven’t checked your file write code just answered your question.

You should also be sanitising the input to ensure that no malicious code is sent in with the response.
