a script	Can't Post

i'm looking for a script that takes the info from a textbox/form and puts it in a text file, and from the text file it is inserted into a html file.

i haven't had any luck of finding such a file yet.

IF possible, can somoene take the above script, and make an admin with it. the login name would equal the same filename of the text file, and http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/text.cgi?login.name.here would make the html file??? just multi-user support in short.

could somoene please help me out. it's for a school websites so that teachers could make class announcments. Much appreciated Smile
