Hi,

Go to www.php.net and look up:
1) How to post and receive a formelement (using $_POST probably)
2) have a look at a function called fopen.
(It also handles http-requests if php is configured to do so.)
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

3) Safe the content on your server somewhere under a name.

Good luck
