[thelist] PHP help please- parsing text to variables

[Todd]

Help!!!! I'm trying to save a form. So I write the $http_post_vars to a
text document now how do I get them out?
 
//write function
$filename ="form.inc";
$handle= fopen($filename,'w+');
if (!$handle){
 die ("Could not open file to save.");
 }
fputs($handle, $HTTP_POST_VARS);
fclose($handle);

//read
$filename ="form.inc";
$handle = fopen($filename,"r");
if (!$handle){
 die ("Could not open file savings.");
 }
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
//?????????
 
 

echo "$month $body1 $header1 $body2 $header2";
 
anyone have an example or script??? I can offer some money for help.
