I can't get this to work. What I want to do: Write text to the file example.txt on my server.



var text = "Example;Example;Example";

function saveToTxt(text)

//Code which saves text to file



As far as I know, I have to use some kind of Ajax request like this:



$.ajax(
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: data,
success: success,
dataType: dataType
);


Can someone give me an example on how to do this are any alternatives?
Thank you in advance!

  • When you say server, what server you mean? What is the server side language you are using?

  • I am using Apache to run this on my computer. As language, I intend to use php together with ajax.

  • Then you need php code that will get text from Ajax call and save it as text?

  • Have you tried anything in php yet to do that?
