Is there a way to subimit information to file using an HTML form?

I want to be able to fill out form and submit it. The info in the form is saved to a file on a web server.

Possible?

I don't think this is possible with HTML alone. You will probably need PHP and a database to do this.

The form would be HTML, yes, but the thing that processes the form (backend) would have to be a server side language e.g. PHP/ASP or the likes. Mabey someone more experenced in these areas can help better than me.

If it's only a bit of info (like under 100 lines), then a file would be ok. Any more than that and I would use a database which is much more dynamic and easier to use.

Sounds like I need to right a program. Maybe I could use PHP's FTP functions?
