Can I read from a form's textarea into a file in one "swoop", what's the cleanest way in PHP? Say that I've already created an empty file on my drive for this purpose and I'm using POST to get the textarea txt from the hmtl form to the processing .php file. Thanks, Lee G.

Assume the name of the textarea field is "foo". When the form is submitted, $_POST['foo'] will contain the entered string.
Open the file using fopen() and write the variable's value to the file using fwrite()
