I want more then the last answer

When I make a questionssheet and I want php to save it in a .txt data, there always just the answers of the last person.
Code:

PHP

if ($_GET['reason'] <>"")
{
$handle=fopen ("answer.txt", "w");
fwrite ($handle, $_GET['reason']);
fwrite ($handle, "|");
}
	else
{
	echo "Please give the reason!". "<br />";
} 
?>

Did I forget something?
I think the problem is, that it always overwrite the last one.

ahahah very very funny
it´s just a part of the code theres already the part where´s the 'reason'
if i knew the answer, i wouldn´t ask...
1.think->you forgot
2.write->you´ve done first

Sure, I know it's not very useful, but I though you could take the hint.
To suggests what can you do on server side, one would need to know what you try to do on client side.
In other words, there is not a question here -- you don't share important information.

So the short answer will be:
1) on client side, post (not "get", by the way) all you need (not just the latest, etc.)
2) on server side, process it properly.

In other words, just plan what do you need and implement it. You question does not help here.

Solution 1

I don't know php but looks like you are opening a file to write to and not append. You could also try giving each file a unique name so that you are creating a file for each user/answer set.
