How can a PHP beginner effectively submit form data to a PHP script for processing and storage in a text file?

To submit form data to a PHP script for processing and storage in a text file, you can use the $_POST superglobal to access the form data submitted by the user. Then, you can open a text file using fopen() in 'a' mode to append data, write the form data to the file using fwrite(), and close the file using fclose(). This allows you to effectively store the form data in a text file for further processing. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $data = $_POST['data'];
    
    $file = fopen("data.txt", "a") or die("Unable to open file!");
    fwrite($file, $data . "\n");
    fclose($file);
    
    echo "Data stored successfully!";
}
?>
