i have wriiten a form and a php script and hope once i type anything in the text field text e.g if i type "reset" in the textfield and the word"reset" would produce in a text file ??

however i keep getting the error msg

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/free-users/ill2000m/try.php on line 8

below shows the coding for my form (the file is called try.html)

<html>
<title>yeah</title>
<body>

<form action="try.php" method="POST">
type here: <input type="text" name="name" size="20" />

<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

and my php script shows below (the file is called try.php)

<html>
<title>form</title>
<script language ="php">

$text = $_POST["totext"]

$topost = "<p>$text</p>"

$fp5 = fopen("textfile.txt", 'a');
fwrite($fp5, $topost);
fclose($fp5);
</script>

<body>
yes yes
</body>
</html>

every line must end with a ;

second ...

you start with <?php and you ending with ?>

eg.

<?php
$hello = "HELLO2";
echo "HELLO";
echo $hello;

echo "<table><tr><td>HELLO</td></tr></table>";
?>

You can use it... like that

<?php
echo "Hello";
?>
HTML ....
<?php
echo "Hello again";
?>

Now if you have to use html inside the php code you need to do that

<?php
echo "<table><tr><td width='100%'>Hello</td></tr><table>";

echo "OR..... ";

echo "<table><tr><td width=\"100%\">Hello</td></tr><table>";

?>
