Quick Question

[8675309]

I was wondering how to save PHP variables to a txt file and then
retrieve them again.

Example:

There is an input box, after submitted the stuff that was written in
the input box will be saved to a text file. Later on the results need
to be brought back as a variable. So lets say the variable is $text I
need that to be saved to a text file and be able to retrieve it back
again.

Hope it makes sense,

Thanks in advance!!!
