Text Stream

This example creates a new html page each time a form is submitted, and could be easily modified to create a plain text file for logging purposes or any situation where you need to create a file on the host server.

As you will see once the page has been created it is immediately available via hyperlink, so you can view the output and it also lists any previous pages created.
