Forms Processor Parameters

Contents Index of Parameters Search the Forms Processor Docs

file

This optional parameter sets the filename to write the submitted form data to when the Form Processor finishes executing the commands in your form configuration file. Unlike other parameters, you specifically cannot use the file parameter within HTML forms for security reasons.

$file="filename";

filename - The file to which the submitted form contents should be written to. You may specify the filename/path in reference to your WebCom home directory. Eg: www/myfile.txt or simply myfile.txt.
NOTE:
- You may only have ONE assignment of the file parameter in a form or configuration file. If you have more than one, the last assigned value is the name of the file to which the data is written.

Example:


#this writes the data from a form to a file so that the order can be retrieved
#later with a secure web browser

$file="www/secure/orders.dat";
