Not that you guys probably care, but yes, I am an idiot. I knew it
would be simple. The second form that reads and writes the guests.txt
file posts to a file in the upper directory, not the local because
the post file RESIDES in the upper directory and not the local. I
created a dynamic hidden form field with the current directory that
holds the index.php so then the post file can use the hidden field to
create the txt file in the index.php directory.... Been a long day.
Yes folks, I win the darwin award. hehe....
