create new text file 2

[brad1978]

Hi all,
Quick question for you, how do I go about creating a new text file on the fly? I am trying to have a new text file created when a user submits a comment form. This file will contain the info submitted but I cannot seem to create a blank text file on the fly. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys for all your help! removing the "T" from the shebang line fixed the problem.

Brad, as Kevin points out it is not so much fixing the problem as lowering security. -T is there to stop those pesky visitors from sending dangerous code.

If you need to keep a track of where the file came from, devise a conversion so the filename is not the same as the incoming data.

I wrote a FAQ in the CGI forum about how to treat user-supplied data (summary: assume the user is gonna try hard to mess yer stuff all up).
