This is fairly basic stuff with PHP.

First, you set the form to method="post", and you can get the value of any field using: $_POST['fieldname'];
So, $filed = $_POST['field'];

Then, it's fairly simple, too.

Just use fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose() (f means file in each of those), as documented on http://php.net and then write the data in the right format.

You should be able to read later using a similar method, but perhaps with file(), which automatically splits into an array at line breaks, so you could then split at the commas, and you'd have your data back.

If this gets really large, using a database might be a good idea instead.
