Send Form data to server and store it in the server using Java script

I have a form page and I would like to submit the form details to my server, and store the details within the server.

I need a script to send the client's request to the server and I thought of using JavaS开发者_如何学JAVAcript.

I came across XMLHttpRequest while searching.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction?

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language, it can not store anything on your server as you will need a server-side scripting language.

The first part of drawing a form and asking the user for the data is easy and can be done in HTML, and some jQuery if you would like it nice looking. The server-side will require a PHP/ASP script that will store or send the submitted data.

Example:

HTML (form.html):

<form method="POST" action="store.php">
Enter Your Name: <input type="text" name="fullname" />
</form>

PHP (store.php):

<?php
 foreach($_POST as $name=>$value)
 {
    $contents .= "$name = $value" . "\n";
 }

 // save locally in cache folder
 $fd = fopen("cache/filename.txt", "w");
 fwrite($fd, $contents);
 fclose($fd);

 // mail me the submitted data
 @mail("me@there.com", "some subject", $contents);

 // die in piece
 die();
?>
