Hi

I'm php newbie. For example, I have a php file like this:

php Code:

<?
$value1="content1";
$value2="content2";
?>

Now I want to create a HTML site with 2 input forms allow me change the values (content1, content2) without edit above file manually. I can enter new data and click update button, then it will update new values of above php file.

How do I create this file? There are no SQL DB or complicated functions.

Thank you

make test.php content
<?php
if (isset($_POST["Send"])) {
echo "value 1: {$_POST["value1"]} <br> Value 2:{$_POST["value2"]}";
}
?>

<FORM method="POST" action="test.php">
<table border="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>value1</td>
<td><input type="text" name="value1" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
